Do you carry a knife with you?

[Admin1]

Everyday I carry a knife everywhere. Usually my benchmade. Especially at work boxes need to be opened, rope cut, bundles unbundled, and a thousand more uses. I feel naked the days I forget it. It seems a lot of people don't carry a knife but have a lot of reasons or need for one.

Who carries what?

rule #9

most of the time I carry a cheap knife, nothing that would really hurt my feelings if I messed it up. sometimes I carry Dad's old timer or my gerber

[Peacekeeper]

Most of the time I have a knife on me.

[1moretoy]

I carry a Kershaw small folding knife. I've carried it so long the checkered rough grips are now smooth.

[rice paddy daddy]

I always have at least two knives with me. At work they are a cheap chinese jack knife in my pocket and a Schrade (old U.S. made) Uncle Henry Bear Paw folder on my belt.
Off duty a better pocket knife (Shrade, Case, etc) plus a fixed blade sheath knife on my belt. I keep the blade lengths to 5" or less so I don't scare people. My Kabar USMC fighting knife stays home. Likewise my bayonets.
I buy knives like Barbie buys shoes.
Check out Kissing Crane brand from Kennesaw Cutlery. They are made in china, but hand made with quality materials. I highly reccommend them.

LOL! Me too!

[new guy]

Going to be contrary and say no. Rarely do just never needed one on me.

[rice paddy daddy]

Maybe it's a function of my age - 65. Men and boys always carried a pocket knife for all those everyday mundane chores. Heck, we even carried them to school.
When your Dad gave you your first pocket knife it was an important moment in growing up.

[Lucky Jim]

The tough way food is packaged nowadays I HAVE to carry a knife to open sandwiches and stuff when sitting on a park bench..:)

My baby..

Yeah, those were the good ol days......I carry one everyday:butcher:

[Inor]

I always have a pocket knife on me. When I am at home, I usually have a folding boxcutter within reach too.

[Conundrum99]

I rarely only have one knife on me. I always carry my CRKT M-16 titanium , a Gerber GDC Zip blade on my key chain and or zipper pull, a credit card knife in the wallet and sometimes a leather man. Always have several in the truck, GHB, BOB, and or tool boxes. You can't have to many knives.

[Conundrum99]

Nice sandwich knife.

[dutch16]

Always carry a Swiss Army knife in my pocket. I always have a MK1 in my GHB.

[Infidel]

I always carry a knife, usually more than one. For work where I'm limited to a 2" blade I carry a small Kershaw scallion (Yeah I know it's really a 2 1/2" blade, don't tell). Outside of work I go back and forth between a Kershaw Blur and a SOG Flash II, I also carry an old Gerber Multitool outside of work. If I'm hunting or camping there's a sheath knife on my belt also. I like knives almost as much as guns so I've amassed a pretty good collection of cheaper knives. Everything from Schrade Walden knives to Pumas and even a couple home made blades that I've done myself.

I carry a knife everyday, I feel naked without one. I carried one everyday in the service and it is habit to grab it and put it in my pocket while dressing just like my wallet, belt, watch and dog tags. I usually carry a Gerber clipped in my right front pocket, but when I am out two tracking in my jeep I carry my Benchmade switch blade which was my issue knife in theater for convoys. Sometimes it was bad to carry, forgot a few times when I was doing records check at local courthouses when I was recruiting, but luckily being in uniform I would just leave it with the officers at the metal detector and pick it up on my way out. Now that I am retired I carry one every where I go even places I can not carry my pistol like to the college when I have class and on field trips with the kiddies at school.

[Just Sayin']

If I have anything more than boxer shorts on, I've got a knife in my pocket.

My favorite carry is a Bucklite 442 which was discontinued many years ago, but I still manage to find new ones every now and then. I sometimes carry more than one and always have some strategically stashed. If I'm carrying more than one, the other is usually an old Gerber boot knife from my service days.

[Deebo]

having literally knives everywhere at my work, I leave my folder in the truck. It is a cheapo.
My truck bags have a few in each, 441.
the knife I love the most was my dads, the last one on the right.

[Deebo]

The small boot knife on the left was made by my nephew. His dad makes some seriously awesome knives, if yall wanna look at them, its oliver knife works.

[BlackDog]

I've carried a knife nearly every day of my life since age 7 or so. Having said that, I'm not much of a knife guy. Meaning that while they are useful every day tools to me, I don't invest much money or time in them. My everyday knife for the last ten years has been a fairly cheap Gerber folder from Walmart. I have two because I will occasionally lose one. I switch to the identical second until I eventually find the first (it always pops up somewhere).
I also have an Uncle Henry Schrade LB7 Bear Paw in a belt holster that my Dad gave me for Christmas when I was 15. Back in '77. It mostly lives in a drawer in my office now but I love that knife and carried it for many years.

[Pauls]

I carry a small three bladed pocket knife all the time. It's a very old "Old Timer" when they were made in the USA with good steel.

[ekim]

I've got a few knives but I don't carry them any more, that's why I have my CC permit, as I don't want to get that close in a bad situation. I would like to have a GOOD" Katana sword though, they just look assume but would be hard to carry around and not cause some people to freak out I guess.

[Sparkyprep]

Absolutely every day, all the time. I always have a 4" Kershaw folder, and a Leatherman Wave. There is a Leatherman MUT on my day bag as well. It goes without saying that all are RAZOR sharp, at all times.

[Arklatex]

I carry a spyderco pm2 every day. For me it's the perfect size and blade shape. I like the g10 scales on it too. Pricey but you get what you pay for. Made in usa.

[Reptilicus]

I carry a "CASE" Stockman which was given to me by my dad many moons ago!

[jbravo]

I carry two. A Boker Kalashnikov Auto in my right pocket and a Kershaw OSO Sweet in the left.

[big paul]

I always have a knife on me, at the moment its my EDC folder, I grew up when everyone had knives, I was a boy scout.

[machinejjh]

I carry a cheap skeleton folder that came with my cheap Gerber multi tool. If money wasn't so tight due to my wife's medical needs I'd like to purchase one from redbeardedblades.com They're not the best blades, but I like supporting a vet.

+1 on this

So whatcha gonna do about that sandwich mentioned earlier in the thread? Shoot it?:triniti:
I carry a Benchmade mini barrage. I put 2 chips in the edge of the "super steel" so I need to send it back. Got a Kershaw Blur for my kid for Christmas, think I'm gonna get one for myself.

[incogkneegrow]

I carry one of two knives if I have pants on. One is an Emerson CQC7, the other is an Emerson by Kershaw CQC6k

[SquirrelBait]

I carry mine at all times. I made it too.

[machinejjh]

I've decided to include these into my EDC.569

Fine LOL

The handle is knarled Finnish Birch, I cut the blank, Whittled the handle to fit my hand, I sanded, And polished, And rubbed in bee's wax for a satiny finish. I affixed the Norwegian 440 blade. I cut, Stitched, Shaped, Pouted, Dyed, And oiled the sheath.

It's a design based on a traditional Norwegian utility style blade.

Note: Giving one a knife in Scandinavia is considered to be a sign of caring for that individual's well being per my knife making instructor Mr. Tokheim.

You did a real good job. Congrats. I like it a lot.

Thank you! Seriously, I consider that high praise coming from you. You do quality work.

[Arizona Infidel]

Thank you! Seriously, I consider that high praise coming from you. You do quality work.? You are confusing me with someone else.

[SquirrelBait]

? You are confusing me with someone else.

Am I? If so I apologize for my mistake. I thought that I had seen some knives you had made.

[Arizona Infidel]

No. I don't make knives. It is something I am interested in learning eventually though. It is something I thought I would be able to do to make money during my retirement.

Thanks for that info but I can't really see myself getting to Minnesota till I retire and am roaming the country seeing the sights before I die. Hopefully I'll have figured out how to do it long before then.
