Marko and Tam's recent discussion on the essential usefulness of having a good blade on your person proved to be quite timely...
Seems scientists found that we hominids have been using the sharp & stabbies much longer than previously believed - like almost one million years longer. Naturally, this early tool use was all about obtaining delicious and nutrient-packed animal flesh, which is said to have been an important factor in the development of the modern human brain. (Hooray!)
To celebrate this wonderful, yet not-so-surprising discovery, perhaps we should all do something primal and carnivorous - like roast up some marrow bones and buy ourselves a new pocketknife.
This one holds a prominent spot on my wishlist:

Neat concept, but I really just do not like the skeletonized handles - though it looks like this one may protect the edge better than many do.
Always having a cutting tool of some sort on one's person or otherwise readily available really is essential, though.
I gave Bobbi my CRKT Van Hoy SnapFire because it was the steampunkiest knife there is and you know how Bobbi is when it comes to steampunk stuff... :)
That is a very nice knife.
/me adds a CRKT Van Hoy SnapFire to the wishlist.
I've a CRKT M-16 which treats I well. Enough knife to do everything but section a heart in situ, small enough to fit in a pocket.

Ooo, that snaplock is cool. That's the one we played with at the Convention.
The shiny has now overwhelmed me and I am off to find a new blade.
My favorite carry blade is a benchmade 580 Barrage
steepandcheap.com is a nice website to keep an eye on. They frequently sell CRKT knives at reduced prices. I bought a Snap Lock from them a few years ago. It is a nice knife, but you have to be very careful opening and closing them.
My daily blade is a CRKT MyTighe assisted open, which replaced a CRKT EDC M16Z, which replaced a full sized CRKT M16Z.
All are plain edge blades -- serrated blades are for steak knives or rope IMSNHO. Although I like the short serrated section on my OKC3 bayonet; but it's a field knife.
Unfortunately, I'm faced with a 3" limit in the two places outside the home I am most likely to be. Or I'd have a fullsized Tighe as my carry knife. Especially with non-assisted blades like the M16, blade mass makes it so much better.
