Maybe not your life, but you may be betting your hands or other parts on cheaply made locking systems.Apples to oranges. Im not betting my life on a pocket knife lol. If i were i would probably carry a nice knife.

This. I carry my CRKT for defense. And I have a Leatherman Juice in my pocket for utility.Easy solution is to carry 2 knives.
I am a big fan of Swiss Army Knives or other multi tools. They work great as improvised screw drivers and for prying, digging or cutting. I also appreciate knives that aren’t meant for cutting but rather for things that need to be cut.
I have one of these as well, actually 2 of them. Swap out with the CRKT M4, it is lighter.Kershaw Leek for me.

There are tools made for deburring aluminum and cutting/stripping wire. I don't expect a pocket knife to do those tasks....Do you guys ever feel bad for using your expensive knife heavily? I routinely cut lids off plastic buckets, deburr aluminum, cut or strip wire, cut up triple layer cardboard gaylords, and do a bunch of other heavy cutting with that utility folder. It kinda made me feel bad doing that stuff with a nice spendy kinife...
