As a kid, what did you need a folding blade for?
And most of the time, any pants, shorts, etc. I wore usually had at least a couple of pockets in front.  Normally I wouldn't be carrying so much that I wouldn't have had room for a phone.  Cell phones weren't really a thing when I was a kid though - at least, not small or affordable. Most adults at that time didn't even have a cell phone.
