Here's my one (super tinker) 
And I'm hoping to get this little baby soon (huntsman lite) 
What models do you have? hows it saved you?

I flipped out not too long ago when I couldn't find it. I even bothered our resident TB knife maker and asked him if he had one I could buy. This was before I realized the guy makes huge knives with fancy handles on them.

It had a few features I hadn't seen at the time (decent saw with cover for the teeth capped by a bottle opener). Olive green with a textured "handle" with no exterior markings. Victorinox printed on the blade.
It got stolen a few years later and I never found another. The end.

Forgot to take the knife out of my backpack and put it in my checked luggage. I got really nervous when they pulled it out of my backpack, but all they did was toss it in the little basket with all the other ones that they had confiscated that day and waved me on through.

Rental car got a flat. Predictably, part of the jack was missing - the part you used to turn the jack crank.
Little Red Knife to the rescue - pulled out one of the blades (I forget which), and cranked up the jack, changed the tire, and - done.

lowsound | They probably have hundreds of pocket knifes/nail clippers/files that they confiscate each day. |

Still scared the crap out of my though. Kind of sucks because I really liked that knife, even though it was only a surplus store impulse buy.

I don't know how they are getting the inside scoop on the items, probably a supervisor who said "I'll take of this" and grabbed the box at the end of someones shft.

I will always have mine on me, It's one of those things that go in your pockets; wallet, phone, swiss army knife.
