Thread: Every Man Should Carry a Pocket Knife

    Every Man Should Carry a Pocket Knife


    It used to be that a pocket knife was an essential item that a man carried with him. You had your wallet, your keys, and your trusty pocket knife.



    The History of the Pocket Knife

    1st Century Romans created the first folding pocket knife. They made for easy carrying for soldiers and other explorers on their journeys and conquests. However, as the use of sheathed knives became more popular, the use of pocket knives fell somewhat into disfavor.

    By the late 16th Century, pocket knives began to regain popularity. They were especially popular in the American colonies. From farmers to lawyers, men from all walks of life started to carry them. The ultimate portable tool, the pocket knife was a useful aid in various tasks,

    No sons for me. Taught my girls how to shoot and gut deer and anything else they killed. Taught them how to kick some ass too.

    I have carried a knife since I earned my Totin' chip in the scouts. I feel totally naked without one. If I get a chance to use a pc in the next few days I will post pics of my extensive knife collection.

    The things I never leave home without and always have on me.

    Knife

    AAA Flashlight

    I might forget my phone, but the 3 items in the photo I NEVER leave home without!
    If I don't answer the phone, it's probably because I'm in the Senate, taking a POTUS and wiping my Congress..

    Oh, and according to the dipsh** from Atlanta, I'm one of those Pansy A** Texans.

    does anybody carry a flashlight as well... I mean they make those LED maglite now that are small enough to put in your pockets? In a disaster scenario like earthquakes, knife, flashlight and a whistle is good to have. I always carry atleast 2 knives and 2 small flashlights and a carabiner
