I wish I could get one that wasn't ginormous with scissors, phillips head, and a corkscrew, but I think that is not possible.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Take a look at Leatherman tools, Jesse.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Go Victorinox, choose Victorinox.
I still have my old Super Tinker, but my regular pocket knife for the last ten years has been a Leatherman Squirt S4.

I don't like how the Leatherman looks so much, but I guess it's not about that, huh?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, for all three I think you start to get pretty massive. The corkscrew and the phillips head each takes up more space than most blades.

I wish that I'd discovered this a month ago: Cryomax Coldpack (from Target). Advertised to last 8 hours. I'd be happy with any non-leaky coldpack that lasted more than twenty minutes. Now I'm on hour two without having had to put it back in the freezer. And that's been my issue with icing my ankle: nothing lasts long enough, have to wait for it to rechill, forget from the waiting, or don't bother cuz it doesn't last long enough.
Bring on the frostbite, baybee!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Last time I checked, botulism toxin was still a toxin. In controlled amounts under medical supervision it can have positive uses (though I don't think paralyzed facial muscles and frozen expressions are a positive use for actresses), just like chemotherapy chemicals, but that doesn't make it not poison.
Last I checked, the same can be said of every other medication, and most food. Toxicity is measured by dosage and application, not chemical components.

Oh, hey, I did find coffee! An ancient can of decaf in my freezer. Kind of sad, but I am having a cup. I don't even know why. I went and got my annual gingerbread latte this morning, so I shouldn't be that desperate.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I would vote Leatherman, too.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Maybe not mixing fancy drinks, but opening wine, pouring beer and champagne properly, mixing liquor+chaser-
Pouring a proper gin and tonic was most definitely part of our upbringing.
