Who carries a knife?

[ConstipatedVigilante]

I carry a knife with me at all times (unfortunately my good knife had a few screws come loose, so I'm using my dull swiss army knife) - it's a tool, not necessarily a weapon. My dad does carry a gun when he goes to rough places, though.

Interesting answers to say the least.

I have a Buck Knife (Model 121) that was given to me in the 80s. It rarely comes out of it's sheath. It's more of a collectible.

The daily carry knife I was using is a Winchester 3" flip that I won in a raffle a few years ago. It's small enough to slide into your side pocket. Obviously it wasn't meant nor do I intend to use it as an attack weapon.

carry a small knife to trim skin around my nail etc.

Knives for opening things and cutting cords and crap: :thumbsup:
People that carry knives, ones intended to cut a bitch: :thumbsdown:
People that feel they need to be armed to the fucking teeth eating at Olive Garden: :disgust:

 

[edro]

I have carried a pocket knife my entire life. (I came out of the womb with one)
I don't think I will ever have to use it for self defense though.

Sometimes I carry a pocketknife, it's handy since it has a bottle opener, screwdriver, etc on it.

You have NO idea what measures are needed to get a lemon wedge for my ice tea at my local Olive Garden.

edit: Most of the people here at my office have shotguns hanging on their walls but then again I think it is okay for us to smoke in our office.

I carry both for two different reasons altogether. The gun is for defense. The knife is for cutting boxes, wires, etc. They are not interchangeable (for me).

 

[Vehemence]

I don't leave the house without a twelve gauge pump and a katana.

 

[JDMnAR1]

I carry daily - usually a Gerber Ridge. It comes in handy for opening boxes and other assorted duties for which a handgun just won't suffice .

 

[imported_Imp]

I carry a 1.5" long pocket knife... better known as the $15 Swiss-army, budget line knife that I use to cut and file my jagged nails. If shit hits the fan, I guess I'll throw the knife at them?

Carrying a weapon is my right, not to mention maybe help someone out or save a life.

or take one...

I'll just use the canned answer everyone likes to use in the cop threads.....If you weren't doing something illegal you shouldn't have to worry.

I'm not going to waste my breath with anymore because there is too many people here that think Guns kill people on their own.

Same thing I think. It seems the majority here think you carry a knife for defense. I would fist fight before I brought out a knife even if the other person had a weapon. And I need to retally my total, as I actually have 2 knives on me everyday. I carry my nice little gerber, and I also have a multitool I use everyday that has a knife on it.

 

[Josh123]

I carry my Benchmade everyday and it comes in handy.

 

[jonks]

wrist sheath ftw

 

[irishScott]

I just ordered one of these:

I'd order something longer, but Delaware doesn't allow you to carry anything over 3" concealed.

I've narrowly avoided a couple of street fights, could be useful if I couldn't get out. I also have moderate training, so I do know how to use it.

Edit: had the wrong link.

 

[herm0016]

i carry a gerber paraframe ( the larger version) for cutting things and in case i need it to defend my self, my pack knife is a 4 inch long fixed tanto blade. I use this for general camping duties.

 

[CraKaJaX]

Leatherman Squirt. All you will ever need in your pocket. I'm not carrying a knife to "defend" myself necessarily, I use it for random shit -- open boxes, cutting wires, anything if I ever need pliers, etc. Of course, if someone pulls out a shotgun on me.. well, fuck it.

 

[Mr N8]

I always carry my Benchmade Mini-Griptililan, but that's because good old WI doesn't allow concealed carry. They allow open carry, and if you do that anywhere south of the People's Republic of Madison, you'll have the cops called on you in a heartbeat.

 

[antyler]

I always check for my top four carry items. Cell, wallet, knife, keys. And i hope to add the CC in the near future.

ok but if you want things fresh he should have a small grill handy as well, or at least a cast iron pan and a lighter

i dont carry anything for self defense, i keep a pocket knife on my because its handy to have...but it didnt sound like thats why the OP wants one, weird.

Got so scared of being sued or thrown in jail so I gave it up. After I got out of the Navy I took a job in Oregon and it was the same thing.

Now I just leave it at home.
Incidentally, this was my normal carry: http://images.shopkershaw.com/...on_Carbide_Coating.jpg

Thats about the sweetest pocket knife you can find these days. I have the matte silver.

It MSRP is 50 bucks but you can find it for about half that price at walmar or bi-mart.

Kershaw Ken Onion Chive. Just google for Chive knife.

3.5" for carry
less if you want to enter government buildings.
