I usually keep a couple of #11 blades (w/clay handle) in my pocket kit. They are useful for digging out large splinters and lancing abscesses. I even know how to use one to perform a last-ditch emergency tracheotomy, if needed.
They're no replacement for even a small knife, but I'll keep a couple around, just the same.
