Do you carry a knife?

[datasuspect]

Do you routinely carry a pocketknife or penknife?

[tk2kewl]

1. Does an axe count?

:shrug:

[unpossibles]

2. define "routinely"

lol. I don't bring it to work, but I have one I often carry. It's the boyscout in me. Hell, used to carry a lighter for years even when I did not smoke.

[datasuspect]

3. pretty much always have one or access to one

"routinely" as in carry with you throughout the day or use frequently.

4. My keyring has a small jackknife.

5. Used to, but

I got tired of my pockets wearing out. And it was just another thing to haul around.

I've got some nice knives, but don't feel the need anymore.

If I was going to carry anything like that it would be a corkscrew as one always has to be prepared to open the occasional bottle of wine.

6. My key ring has a Swiss Army knife, with a 1" blade.

They call me Chopper.

7. Small Buck knife ("Minibuck") with one blade at work.

They won't let us bring Swiss knives in, but they don't seem to mind small knives (7.3 cm closed plus a 4.8 cm blade)like these:



You two can arm yourself with one for $15 (worth every penny): http://www.buckknives.com/catalog/detail/198/237. It's light as a feather, I used it for anything from cutting fruit to opening boxes and whatever in between.

Outside of work, I carry a Victorinox Cybertool 34. I'd take a pay cut to be allowed to use this at work: http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/review/victorinox_cybertool_34_review

8. Single blade, 2 inch Gerber

in the watch pocket of my jeans. It's very slim, otherwise I wouldn't carry it.

9. Two. One on my keyring

The other is a 2" blade knife.

I just have to remember to stow them in checked baggage when traveling by air.

10. Only when I go out.

[Call Me Wesley]

11. I'm Swiss, of course I carry one.

This one with a lockable blade - most 'Swiss Army Knives' don't have the lock:

12. Always.

Zip-tie waved plain edge Spyderco Endura, and a zip-tie waved serrated edge Spyderco Jester. When I'm 21 I'll get a CCW permit and a Glock, maybe a G19.

13. Female and yes

I've always carried a pocketknife - it's a habit from my youth.

14. Swiss Army Knife

I've got about 6. One i actually bought in Switzerland!

I carry one of the mid-sized versions. Two blades, scissors, can opener/screwdriver, a little tiny saw, braiding loop, awl, and a cork screw. I don't have the one with the mag glass, the spoon, and all that. Too big for the pocket.

15. A little multi tool thingie

That has a blade, screw driver, and finger nail file. I got it from someone long gone, (deceased) so it's more of a remembrance than anything else. It makes a good fingernail cleaner, and box opener.

16. i always have a knife and quite often i carry a....

...machete as well.

the knife is for cutting mangoes or other fruit i shake out of the trees. the machete is for cleaning trails.
