I always have a knife on me, usually two, except where security won't permit like courthouses airports etc....

Normally, my defense knife is a lockback blade with a thumb post for one handed easy opening, but I am looking for a new one due to the old one wearing out.

I am carrying another lock back type for self defense but do not like it much as it requires two hands to open....

Currently I also have an Old Timer twin bladed knife that was my dads. But the blades dont lock back so I only use it as a pocket knife for opening boxes,envelopes and the like. it does stay nice and sharp as it still has carbon steel blades that hold a good edge!

The serch for a new defense knife continues...

Yeah I carry a knife with me. Actually I usually have a couple in my truck for the right ocassion. Always good to have choices.

I carry a Kershaw Blackout as my defense knife and a Buck Odyssy for my workhorse. I love the assisted open feature on the Kershaw, since I can't carry my Boker Top Lock II. I also keep an old Ka-Bar USMC in the trunk for whatever it may be needed for.

Yep, every day!!!

whirlwind · 08-30-2004, 12:43 AM

i carry an old demo knife i lifted while in service,but i lose it at least two or three times a week...im surprised its lasted this long...come to think of it,i havent seen it today?...ahhhh crap!

Despoiler · 08-30-2004, 01:09 AM

I usually have a Leatherman Tool with me.

asgard_prince · 08-30-2004, 09:31 AM

Yup, at least one. And most of the time it's a legal one.

Dallas · 08-30-2004, 12:05 PM

I usually carry either the exact same Swiss Army knife as Logansdad pictured or a small Kershaw. When I'm feeling nostalgic, I carry an ole Old Timer three blade pocket knife with bone handle.

steel_warrior1 · 08-30-2004, 02:29 PM

I carry and old lockblade knife that has a leather pouch for it. It is rusty looking but deadly sharp. Works good. My other knives which i carry often are just some knives without name brands. I like to carry a 9 inch fixed blade in my bags when going to places and in my truck. Got a Winchester multi-tool knife that gets a little big to carry around but works great in all situations. Never know what you will need. And as usual, I lose them all the time. Either they fall out of the pocket or I leave them in a hay bale when cutting strings.

I view a pocketknife as an essential tool..like my wallet or keys..I literally don't go anywhere without them

SilverRun · 08-31-2004, 06:35 PM

Like you guys, I always have one with me unless an Airport is involved!

I am currently carrying a K-Bar Warthog folder. Great little (sorta) knife.

dave375hh · 09-01-2004, 08:42 AM

I've carried a knife everyday since I was 7, when my grandpa gave me my first one. Constant companion is a Kershaw Whirlwind sharp enough to gut a badguy with one good swipe.

oneastrix · 09-01-2004, 09:17 AM

Yes....a Kershaw assisted opener.
