Do you carry a pocket knife?

GoldenRivet · 03-02-11, 03:52 PM

If so what kind?

I think that pretty much every man ought to carry a pocket knife with him wherever he goes. I have found myself needing one more often than not, and back before i started carrying one i found myself frequently wishing i had one and cussing myself because i didnt.

I carry the Colombia River Knife and Tool M16-13Z

It is a durable, medium weight, single edged, assisted opening knife of 8 inches length end to end and has not let me down yet.

I ised to carry its little brother the M16-01Z which is about an inch shorter.

I wan't to, but the school won't let me

No. I would get fired if I got caught bringing anything of the sort to work. Also, it's application within the confines of music history and theory would be limited.

I want to carry a sword, but I don't think they would let me. :P

obviously there are certain folks who cannot carry a pocket knife because of school or work... if you meet this criteria - you need not apply

may i ask you to expand on that.

does carrying a pocket knife in Denmark automatically cause one to be arrested? or are you involved in some sort of trade wherein pocket knives and other sharp objects are frowned upon?

Where i live, i can only think of a couple of people i know who dont take one with them virtually everywhere they go

its just illegal to carry knives here, hell, even a carpet cutter or a screwdriver might get you into trouble if you're carrying one and you're either off work, or you have no use for it

Well, there you go. You just need to be creative in finding a use for it.

I tend to carry one with me all the time. It's a useful tool, and better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it. Unless I'm going somewhere it is specifically forbidden, I have my knife.

I believe the law is somewhat the same here as in Denmark. Without a good reason, you're not allowed to carry potentially lethal blade in public. Not sure if there's an length limit or something, tho.

Hasn't Denmark got the same sort of laws as the UK but metric, so you are allowed a 70mm blade as long as its a manual opening non locking pocket knife, unless its a hunting/fishing/work knife which you can carry when you are engaged in those activities?

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.

Before i ended up as a cubicle dweller, i used to carry one of these around all the time on my belt:

of course, back then, i had a real job, and was working hard. ( Now i have a virtual job, and am hardly working.

)

So no, I don't carry a pocket knife, or even a multi function tool anymore. Not much of a need for it when your ass is parked in a computer chair all day, and carrying anything with a blade on it would probably get me into trouble in an office enviorment.
