Do you carry a blade on a regular basis?

Swiss Army knife, most everywheres.

I use to carry at least one folder at all times but after 911 and all the regulations on flying and such I got out of the habit lest I forgot going to the airport and lost one of my favorite friends. I find these days my keys function for most knife functions especially those great long import keys with all those jagged edges.

Lucky for you, the FAA has repealed the rules against knives and boxcutters on planes. But Shampoo is still out for some reason. I find it kind of strange, as there's examples of knives used in hi-jack situations (obviously), but nothing I can think of with exploding cosmetics...


Anyways, I usually carry a small (2 3/4" SpyderCo) for utility. It's been said, there are two types of people - those that carry knives, and those that borrow them.

Not suprising there's a majority of yeses on the FMA forum. Curious how this would do on the general forum.

no i do not carry a knife but maybe i should, i am getting a little tired of opening packages like tools and toys with my teeth or a pen if handy. i just dont like to have a lot of items in my pocket.

Firstly, i never carry any type of blade on me....mainly because it's illegal.

To those of you have said they carry a blade for self defence: Have you ever had to use it? Are you the first to produce a weapon?

Ohhh....so many questions running through my head...i think i should take my meds now.....

I have a very small keychain blade for this purpose.

It also has a small flashlight on it, which was handy two nights ago when the power went out while I was in a movi etheater bathroom. Of course, I could also have used my cellphone as an emergency light source!

I looked at the TSA website last week, knives and razors were still not allowed but you could take a screwdriver as long as the overall length was less than 7 inches....

I could defend myself adequately well against a terrorist with a boxcutter if I had a 7" screwdriver...

I stand corrected. I guess the local news was wrong.

I carry a knife to work every day. But, as for sellf defense I usually carry a kerambit. It's effectiveness is unsurpassed in close quarters! Brad

I always do, I took knife fighting classes on the side as a recommended course from a friend. Now a days you can't be to careful

 

[Doc_Jude]

I know what you mean. Have you tried opening a kid's toy lately? The toy is secured with a ridiculous amout of tiewires :erg:

I use my folding knives for every day purposes like this all the time.

Every day!?! You must be beloved by every kid you know... or you're a little creepier than we thought... ^_^

I've carried one everyday since grade school. Never used it as a weapon but have used it as a tool almost daily. I taught my sons how to sharpen and care for a knife and gave each of them one when they turned seven. Of course it's no longer OK to carry them in school. Times have changed...

 

[Salagubang]

..i carry 2 inch Stailess Steel Blade regularly

I carry a pocket knife everywhere it isn't a felony, and have since I was 7 years old. (When I was in school, so did everyone else, and it wasn't a crime. Not once was anyone stabbed or cut.)

 

[tshadowchaser]

I carry at least one on me at all times.
One is for every day use if I have another it is for other things
