You are looking for everyday carry, and this one may or may not fit that criteria. But, for what it does, may still be worth it (see descriptions). It literally can do anything you ask it to do, and more. Based on capability, it is a bargain.

...the possibility of getting poked in your manhood by your own blade is totally possible with many of the knife designs that are available.Well, yeah.
If you're a freakin' moron.
Sheesh!...some of the stupidity that emanates from some of these so-called "experts"!
Just like the asinine argument over appendix carry for guns..."you'll shoot your balls off, kid".
Anything for a journalistic buck.
Live in the real world for a while, idiot.

I carry a H&K OTF by Benchmade.
Quick, easy, not too heavy.

I carry a leatherman tool. It is carried as a tool. But I carried it with a sharpened main blade up and could flick it open as it came out of the sheath. … for pealing an apple or for protection if needed.

I once watched a YouTube video (supposedly) about recoil mitigation for 12ga shotguns. The idiot in the video -- allegedly a former special forces type -- told his viewers that if your shoulder is getting all bruised up by your 12ga, just place the butt of your gun firmly on your sternum instead.

I dunno. I carried one, prolly of questionable quality, when I was a lot younger. The damn thing would open in my pocket cause the lock would slide off and my jeans would push the button.
Didn’t stab my leg or doo-dads, but it could be tough the next time I reached in that pocket. d;^)

Kalashnikov 74 by Boker. In expensive, durable. I’ve had mine for about three years now. Carried everyday and never once opened in my pocket. Pretty good deal...

...prolly of questionable quality...And therein lies the problem.
Most modern, quality autos have a safety on them of some sort.
There are so many out there, now, that yeah, there are probably more than a few that could stab your leg.
But recognizing the drawbacks of an inferior piece of equipment is one the first steps toward using such equipment safely.

I have carried a bench made mini reflex for about 16 years. 12 of those as a volunteer firefighter. Also was a heeler for many years. When your thumb is between the rope and the saddle horn, a fast deployed knife that’s sharp is pretty handy. Blade locks tight with no movement. When the knife is clipped in your front pocket, the blade is facing to the back of the pocket. Don’t see how is could open. There is also a lock if you need it. Benchmade makes quality knives.
To: Ouderkirk
My EDC is also a Benchmade. A folding Karambit. Very nicely made and deploys very fast.

I had a Leatherman blade break off at the base with very little force applied...removing a dandelion.

I have a few, just for show. I carried a Boker Magnum, for awhile. Screws would back out and get lost.

I carry a Boker Magnum pocket knife for everyday stuff (stripping wire, cutting boxes, etc.)
I carry a Gerber steel for foods, i.e., cutting meat, corn, etc.
And a Kershaw Cryo for when I just want to display an intimidating spring assisted knife.

A distant relative of mine (a teen) had a fixed-blade hunting knife of good quality - but in a cheap sheath. He sat down - the knife somehow got jammed against the seat, sliced through the sheath, and his main artery in his inner thigh. He bled out quickly.
I don’t usually carry a fixed blade, but when I do the sheath has rivets in it.
