Every person I have ever given a Gerber Shard to (male and female), has thanked me time and again for it. At 5.99 it's the most functional multi tool for the money, it's nearly unbreakable, and it will last a long time unless they lose it.
I love my Gerber Shard but that is pretty cool.

Edit: More stuff
I carry an Opinel No 8 everywhere i go. i use it to cut food and light gardening work (trimming, pruning, cut twine to tie up tomatoes, etc). "everywhere" includes backpacking, and any kind of travel. it's short enough and no spring assist, so it doesn't conflict with local laws when i travel.
when i'm backpacking i also carry a small wire key ring with the following:
Key Ring
Leatherman Micra
Gerber Shard
Streamlight Nano
if i'm doing any kind of campfire, then i bring a mora companion to do any processing that i'll need.
Gerber Shard
If opening bottles is a thing you need it for over a knife, which was not the case for me, I got rid of this tool as well.
Simple but it works
This is what I carry now, after ditching my shard as well because there's plenty of ways to open bottles and tweezers are crazy useful.

je traine sur /r/frugal et comme idée cadeau j'ai trouvé cette année :
http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B002ZK45IQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1642&creative=6746&creativeASIN=B002ZK45IQ&linkCode=as2&tag=payrecom-21&linkId=7ZWXWNRL6AJARAS6
http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B000Q06LI4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1642&creative=6746&creativeASIN=B000Q06LI4&linkCode=as2&tag=payrecom-21&linkId=WPNOEJQAMHEU47GR
The core material EDC, to me would be knife, light and cellphone. But cool keychain gidgets are really nice too.
So I'd say if you have a knife, a good flashlight would be next, then a backup knife and light (one is none, two is one). I like a multi-tool or SAK for my backup knife, and a keychain light for my backup torch.
(In case you're curious, after that I start considering footwear, gloves, hats and other clothing.)
(Sorry, I'm feeling a bit lazy, so you'll have to live with bare links.)
This one is pretty popular for keychain use: www.amazon.com/iTP-A3-EOS-Flashlight--Upgrade/dp/B006K5C2EG/
Fenix has single AA and 123 powered lights that are well regarded and compact:
AA: http://www.amazon.com/Fenix-E11-Compact-Lumen-Flashlight/dp/B005GW8UC2
CR123: www.amazon.com/Fenix-Compact-140-Lumen-Flashlight/dp/B005CWRB44
There are a lot of other brands worthy of consideration too, of course (Fourseven's mini, Jetbeam, Klarus, Zebra, just to name a few).
There are also a lot of much larger but more capable flashlights out there.
Keychain stuff is always nice:
I use these sliver grippers way more than I thought I would. The convenience of always having them around is unparalleled: http://www.amazon.com/UNCLE-BILLS-SLIVER-GRIPPER-TWEEZER/dp/B001KMSUA4
I've been thinking of getting this, I'm a little leery about that much stuff for so little cost though: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A5E5IK
I love this style of keyring, but it's way cheaper on eBay: http://www.amazon.com/Vigilant-Gear-Aircraft-Cable-Ring/dp/B006ZSP1PA
Little one-piece keychain tools have become really popular, and I really like having a little prying and screwing tool always present.
The Gerber Shard is cheap but probably at least worth what you pay for it: http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-22-01769-Shard-Keychain-Tool/dp/B002ZK45IQ
This one has a bit more functionality, and is made of the magically delicious titanium: http://www.amazon.com/Schrade-Chain-Tool-Seatbelt-Cutter/dp/B004PQJ1QO
Keychain multi-tools can be good.
Here's one from Gerber: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006M9NIDO
Supposedly the build quality isn't as good as Leatherman's though: http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-64010101K-Micra-Multi-tool/dp/B000JCN0FG
I'd also recommend looking for a glow in the dark lanyard.
A pen you can EDC is another "you're surprised how often you use it" item. I have an Inka and it's definitely alright, though a bit fiddly: http://www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-Inc-Inka-Pen/dp/B001E6R6EM/
The biggest competitor is the classic Fisher Bullet Space Pen: http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Space-Pen-Bullet-400B/dp/B000WGD13U
Something to write on is nice. I'm a real child of the digital age, but I still like having an analog recording medium on me. I prefer Pentalic's pocket size books to Moleskine's. They're a little thicker, but they have a flexible cover, and are usually cheaper. Here's one: http://www.amazon.com/Pentalic-Travelers-Sketch-3-Inch-4-Inch/dp/B0025TZ35Q but I don't know if it's ruled or grid or what. I also prefer a bright color cover to make it easy to spot.
Continuing on the writing stuff matter, a sharpie and/or a metallic (ink) sharpie are nice to have. You can get sharpies with stainless steel cases too, which feel nicer to hold, and you're a little less likely to forget somewhere.
Black (dozen): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IFEP
Stainless Steel: http://www.amazon.com/Sharpie-Stainless-Permanent-Marker-1747388/dp/B001V9LQLG
Metallic: http://www.amazon.com/Sanford-39108PP-Metallic-Sharpie-Permanent/dp/B00119QWCO
I think everybody should carry some sort of bandanna. I carry an off-brand buff (tubular bandanna) and an olive drab shemagh.
I like to carry a small baggie of what I call MacGuyver goods. Paracord (bound up in a hanayawa right now), some gorilla tape and electrical tape wrapped around a card, super glue, a sewing kit, zip ties, twist ties, rubber bands, safety pins, binder clips, and a few 1 quart ziplock freezer bags. (Like hell I'm finding links for all of those.)
Yet another "surprising how useful it turns out to be" item is a small mirror: http://www.amazon.com/Coghlans-Featherweight-Mirror/dp/B0047QV44O/
Whistles are useful for warning people of fire or danger, or calling for help, so I like to carry one: http://www.amazon.com/Fox-40-Whistle-Breakaway-Lanyard/dp/B00544UJC6
A monocular is fun to have on your person. This particular model is really great because of its super low minimum focusing distance, which lets you use it as a sort of loupe. In regular mode it's good for looking for house numbers or your car in a parking lot, that sort of thing: http://www.amazon.com/Brunton-Echo-7x18-Pocket-Scope/dp/B000FKMTBS
I think that's all I could come up with off the top of my head.
Whiskey is absolutely not too boring. :)
Otherwise:

A bunch of wool socks and a Gerber Shard!.
The shard seems a little strange, but right now I need something else to put on my keyring just to give it something more to grab onto when I pull it out of my pocket! The shard seems like a good solution. If I can get one use out of the little phillips and perhaps the pry bar it'll probably be worth it!
A Gerber Shard for your keyring. Mine comes in super handy, and it's only a couple bucks.

I carry a gerber shard, the main reason/use is for tightening tripod plates, even if I have a leatherman with me, the shard is still easier and faster for plates.
I think another small 'add on' tool like that would interest me, something to augment the camera abilities of a multi tool.
There's a great post in here about manly man gifts. A personalized hatchet looked really great.
All the guys on my list this year are getting yeti tumblers, booze, and dopp kits.
Last year i threw in a few of these shards: https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Shard-Keychain-Tool-22-01769/dp/B002ZK45IQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1510330452&sr=1-1&keywords=shard+tool&dpID=41Vcqx2c-WL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
Hope this helps!
I currently have a Gerber Shard and the re purposed the hemmed cuff from my ST-120x's.
The Shard is awesome because it's TSA approved and I'm a frequent flyer.
I've got a gerber shard, they're cheap as fuck but useful. Use it a lot in the office and is a handy bee opener/screw driver in a pinch.

Been here lurking for a while and finally decided to post my EDC. Since there's been some discussion lately as to where people carry their EDC that is how my list below is broken down. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Head
Neck
Left Wrist
Front Left Pocket
Front Right Pocket
Back Left Pocket or In-Hand
For those interested in the EZGO and KeySmart my opinions are as follows.
I like the EZGOs form-factor, but after owning it for a while it doesn't 'stretch' at all for what's in there. I have two credit cards, ID, insurance and a punch card in mine and it's like pulling teeth to get anything out of it. Also, since it's made to fit cards, anything bigger than that can't be accommodated. As a result I have my CPL, vehicle insurance and KOBALT tool rubber-banded to the thing. I've been eyeing the Flipside 3X as a replacement, but their shipping is around $7 which is over 10% the cost of the wallet... hence my apprehension in buying one.
As for the KeySmart, I've had it a couple of days and so far I dig it but with a couple of caveats. They include two keyblanks for Schlage-style keys. I took one of them to Lowe's to have it cut and there was an issue with the blank, as a result their machine could not provide an accurate copy. I purchased a key from Lowe's and they made it without issue. Not sure what kind of weird science is up with the blanks they included, but I would be leery of buying their 'lightweight' and colored blanks as you may have similar results. My second issue may be somewhat nitpicky, but it's next to impossible to open the door with one hand anymore. Hands full of groceries or mail? Well, you better plan ahead on getting your key flipped out prior to getting to the door, other wise you'll be settin' that shit down.
Would I buy the EZGO Slim again? No. Would I buy the KeySmart again? Yes.
The best multitool is the one he'd use all the time. I've been a fan of the Gerber Shard for a little while now, but he may prefer something with more components.
I've also heard good things about the FreeKey System. It made things too bulky for my tastes, but I'm also not exactly their target audience. (I carry two keys daily - one for my place, one for my mailbox - plus an RFID keyfob for my office and a barcode keyfob for my gym.)
When not at school, I also carry a Gen 4 Glock 23 in a White Hat Holsters Maxtuck.
Happy Birthday!! Sushi makes me happy...but you know what makes me even happier?? Seeing my new puppy befriend a cat! cutest thing ever<3
I would love this for my keychain (: ^^
Several people have suggested the Gerber Shard, but I would suggest also looking at the Artifact. It's the Shard with a tiny blade. It's perfect for opening packages.
Gerber Shard. Bottle Opener, Prybar, Scredriver. Very useful tool.
1. Single Malt Scotch
2. Good Watch
3. Straight Razor Shavette + Kit
4. Decent Pocket Knife
5. Shoe Shine kit
6. Fountain Pen
7. Leather Wallet
8. EDC flashlight
9. Men's manicure set
10. Bottle Opener
either a gerber shard($7) or a klarus miX6 Ti ($47)
the klarus is very bright for a keychain light, most other ones are around 30 lumens, the klarus is 85 lumens.

This is a fun idea.
Assuming you carry a separate knife:
Gerber Shard - $6.82
Fenix E01 - $12.73
Total: $19.55
The Shard does so much for so little, and the Fenix is a very reliable, functional flashlight (with the added bonus of using easy-to-replace AAA batteries).
Assuming you don't carry a separate knife:
Leatherman Style CS - $16.79
Generic button cell light - $3-$4 at Walmart or wherever
Total: $20.79 (assuming the $4 price on the button light, it's a little over, but you can probably find one for $3 if you look)
OR
Victorinox Rally - $11.60
LRI Photon II - $8.27
Total: $19.87
This kinda depends on your needs. The Style functions better as a knife than the Rally (in my opinion), and offers essentially the same tools plus a great pair of scissors. But in return, you sacrifice a little in terms of your light. Personally I'd opt for the Style + generic.
The Gerber Shard is amazingly tough and I find a use for it almost every day.
It isn't a project tool (ie you aren't going to want to build a shed with it) but it is incredibly handy. I'm one of those guys that gets annoyed with loose screws and I always whip out my keys and use the Shard to fix it.
A use that isn't listed is that the fork in the pry bar happens to be really useful for cutting rouge threads off clothing.
My most useful application of the Shard is (sadly) opening Amazon packages. It just annihilates the Amazon packing tape.
I have one of these on my keys as well. I've also heard a lot of good things about the Gerber Shard.
Gerber Shard is a convenient little pry-tool for a bargain. It's worth the price just to try it out. Bottle opener, pry bar, and Philips-head screwdriver all in one make it worth the space on my keychain.
For a folder, you won't go wrong with either a Benchmade Mini-Griptilian or a Spyderco Delica. And at the cheaper end, there's the popular Spyderco Tenacious, but I am personally not a fan. Just don't buy anything with partial serrations, and do learn how to sharpen your blade.
Happy trails.
Yup, the Gerber Shard, never leave home without it!
Personally, as a nurse myself, I don't carry a knife while at the hospital, but instead trauma shears and maybe a pry bar like a Gerber Shard. I haven't run into a situation yet that the shears or the pry bar haven't able to do and it isn't as intimidating to patients or visitors.
However if you do need a small knife, just like everyone else suggests, the Dragonfly 2 is exceptional.
I have the ZDP-189 version of the Dragonfly and it is perfect for EDC.
If you looking for an even smaller folder check out the Manbug which also does come in a [ZDP-189 variant]
(http://www.amazon.com/Spyderco-British-Racing-ZDP-189-Plain/dp/B0089DFLSQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1420580166&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=spyderco+zdp-189). Just be aware that these do not come with pocket clip (I think).

I fly domestically twice a week. This is the only multitool I feel completely confident I will be able to get past security.
Sorry, but them's the breaks.
Sure.
Please not this is not finalised and is also my "in an ideal world EDC", so probably won't end up happening haha. Also, these are just lots of things I am considering I haven't chosen my final setup yet, so I won't end up buying all of this... Let me know what you think :)

I highly recommend this...had it a year works really well.

I simplified.
I keep mine in my pocket, and all I have on my remote entry key-fob is this and a single key that opens a padlock that I use for my gym locker, back gate, and shed.
I bought a 4 padlock set that uses the same key. Idiot proof and only one key required.
Finally I installed this on our entry door and porch door (ours is bronze colored) and it's probably the best addition we've made to our house.
So my keys never usually leave my pocket and are unobtrusive in any event; my car door unlocks by sensing the fob, and a 4 number code opens the house door.
I use one of these which is pretty similar:

Gerber Shard or a Leatherman tool.
Lots of good knives but you shouldn't use them for screwdrivers and bottle openers. Carry something like this and save your knife. http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Shard-Keychain-Tool-22-01769/dp/B002ZK45IQ
Yes, it is: amazon link
I have not had it very long, but the bottle opener works. I have not had to use any other feature yet. It feels like a strong tool for the size.
As far as tools go, here are some good starting points:
Gerber Shard
Leatherman Micra
If you go the flashlight route, I hear good things about the Fenix E01 and E05.
Jesus, man. I'ma help you out -

If you are after a knife that generally feels great to use, I would discourage you from buying a knife with sundry attachments. They've always poked me when I try to use the knife. If you want additional functionality you could get a Gerber Shard or a Leatherman Brewzer. I would take a multitool attached to my Skyline (or other light knife of your choice) over a Shuffle unless you direly want to save cash.
I normally don't suggest this, but you might even want a knife with partial serration. It's terribly handy for cutting through lines.
Knives are for cutting. Here you go.
I've been a fan of my Gerber Shard.
Granted, I've never used the "wire stripper" and counting the "lanyard hole" as a function is absurd, I can attest that the others (small & medium flat drivers, philips head, pry bar, and the most used, bottle opener) all have come through when I've needed them (i.e. didn't have anything else readily available).
For anyone wondering what is being engraved, it is a Gerber Shard. Super awesome tool, carry it with me everywhere.
Sorry for photo quality. First post ever on this so be gentle. Starting from top row, left to right:
Hopefully that all worked! If not, I apologize.
Aside from my actual keys...
Whistle
USB Stick
Multi-Tool
I used to have a flashlight but it was cheap and doesn't work anymore.

"survival" pocket tool. straight from china. I have one as well. I haven't had any need to use it since I already have a Gerber Shard on my keychain, but I figure why not for just $1.

A keychain prybar tool like the Gerber shard-- http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-22-01769-Shard-Keychain-Tool/dp/B002ZK45IQ, or one of the fancier titanium alternatives
