    Potentially my Mighty Wallet - https://mightywallet.shop/collections/classic-mighty-wallet/...

    The rulers on the edge have come in handy the most.

    Pocket knife. Clip one in your pocket for a week and you will be amazed how much you use it. I always have a cheap Gerber or nice Kershaw on me.
