Do you carry a pocket 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.

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.

Leatherman Kick. It was cheap, and carries the default necessary tools - phillips screwdriver, knife blade, slotted screwdriver, plier, wire snipper... think light utility tool. For anything else, I'd bring the tools for the task.

Smuggled a Swiss Army knife all the way through OSUT at Ft. Knox, when such things were considered contraband, but it was a gift and I wasn't turning it in during the amnesty. I think Top knew I had it, but he never called me on it.

hehe my leatherman was issued to me. I acutally had (edit: HAVE) two of them. A regular leatherman, and a super leatherman. Had Gerber's version of a multifunction plier tool issued to me too. Being into construction and maintanence, they were VERY handy.

That's what happens when there's money left over at the end of the fiscal year, and the powers that be are worried about getting the same budget allotment for next year.

Against the law here in the UK unless you got a damn good reason and I mean a damn good reason. Knife crime here is a major problem.
