I gave a Victorinox Craftsman that I'd slightly modified to my wife only to watch her struggle opening the tools that have nail nicks. I told her I'd have to find one of the antique nail nick "picks" so her flimsy fingernails wouldn't get damaged (they're just thin, not long).
Then I remembered I keep several of these around.
Perfect for opening a nail nick folder and gives you a sharpener in a pinch.
Before anyone sneers at the little key chain diamond sharpener, I've used one sitting in Kuwait to repair the edge on a former SEAL's folder (followed by the bottom of a ceramic mug and then stropped on the back of a leather belt) and out backpacking. Run what ya got, but try to have what you need.
Alternately I could have added any of the keychain micro tools I have laying around.
