When we turned 13, my grandfather gave each of us a Swiss Army knife. He used it all the time and it would come in handy often. He even used the toothpick/tweezers. They're pretty awesome tools to have.

The other thing he always carries -A pen and until smartphones, a calculator.

That image is exactly what I'm thinking of. Screw the Leathermans, I want a Swiss Army Knife with a toothpick and all that I can keep in my bag or pocket and always rely on. Then, give one to my kids or pass it on. That's valuable.
