As far as survival gear goes, I like cheap, light, unobtrusive, and multi-use.  Today's tip fits all those things.
If you keep a small pencil sharpener in your gear you can use it to make tinder for your fire.  It the outside of the wood is wet from a quick rainstorm, by cutting into the wood you can access dry material.  
As a side benefit -- the pencil sharpener will put a point on small diameter wood which you could use to make traps, fishing implements, tent stakes -- whatever -- and in a pinch the razor can be removed and uses as a small knife.
Not bad for something you can buy at the dollar store...
