I have other fancier knives, but I will always love my little Swiss Army knife.

You can buy multiples for cheap on ebay with various company logos. I have them in useful spots all over the house and I always keep one in my car's door handle. I find myself using it all the time.

Get them new and drop them in stockings at Christmas time or wrap a box and keep it in your desk for forgotten coworker's birthdays, etc.

Fun, cheap, handy.

Pretty sure that this knife makes up about 90% of all "first knife" gifts as kids. I started with one (and promptly stabbed myself with it) and still keep one handy in my backpacking kit. It might not be fancy but sure is useful.

The scissors on this are one of my most frequently-used tools. I even have a version with no blade so I can have one on my keychain when I’m flying

Grand idea.

Aaargh. The TSA confiscated one of my early ones! I was so vocal about being bummed that I was gifted a dozen for Christmas that year (bulk ebay) . I still have a couple of those, but they keep "disappearing", because someone will need something to cut or slice with and I tell them to keep it after they've used it. It always gets a smile.
