I think in many places in the US - anything with a blade length of over 6 inches is prohibited in public places.
obviously - regardless of blade length there are places you can't take knives, like concerts or airports etc.
but in general every day life, i have it... i dont view it as a weapon though it could be a means of self defense - i see it as a tool.
Opening boxes, containers, uncooperative wrappers, securing loads to the truck with rope or twine sometimes requires that the rope be cut to specific length, i have sliced off the insulation from wires for quick repairs and splices. there are countless uses for it.
