I've always got two flashlights, a folding knife, and some cash, not to mention a sidearm.

The idea of carrying tissues around like grandma is hilarious. Some posters have never dealt with season allergies, or allergies to perfumes (only women wear perfume). Correct, they are men and don't whine about "seasonal allergies"

Even my dog has this handkerchief thing figured out. ![[Linked Image from thesixgunjournal.net]](https://www.thesixgunjournal.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Resized_20230107_153957-1.jpg) This old RAT II is my favorite lightweight pocket knife. Gets scary sharp, holds an edge well and resharpens easily. Five bucks at an outdoor market. ![[Linked Image from thesixgunjournal.net]](https://www.thesixgunjournal.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/20220712_140514.jpg)

Always have my spyderco police model folder, S&W 2 1/2"M19, and cash. Never have I carried/worn a handkerchief, wallet, ring, necklace or wristwatch.
Always keep a lighter, spare speed loaders, wallet, flashlight and sometimes a phone in the truck.

Rocky’s all in on the snot rag. Lol.
I guess if my face leaked enough to justify carrying a hanky, I would. As it is, I get by just fine without.

or ate a sandwich with dirty hands. Worm guts on the fingers, while putting in 3 fingers worth of cope snuff was exhilarating. Back in my chewing days, of course. Hah! I enjoy the “twang” worm dirt and fish blood give to Vienna sausages. Especially that first one that has to be cajoled outta the can.

Neither. I like the idea of both. It’s Americana. Realistically though I can’t see carrying a hanky. A pocket knife comes in handy but it’s a 50/50 deal. Keys in one front pocket, phone in the other and wallet in the back doesn’t leave a lot of room for a pocket knife especially if you’re carrying.

Mooner, I rarely use my handkerchief to blow my nose. But I find a lot of other uses for it AS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN ALL ALONG BUT SOME IDJITS JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND.

I've carried a pocket knife since I was a small boy. I wouldn't think of going outdoors or leaving home without one. A bandana, folded and tucked in my right hip pocket has long been a daily carry item. One is very handy for so many things.

If not carrying is when I would make damn sure I had a pocket knife. If keys took up so much room I couldn't carry my knife I would find a different solution for the keys. Only key that ever goes in my pocket is a vehicle key. Other "needed" keys stay on a ring in the vehicles.

It’s useful for a lot of things like you said. Haven’t seen I mentioned, it if it’s not seen too many wash cycles the threads can double as floss if yo can pick one off the edge. But I use mine primarily to blow my nose. Nancies be damned. “Ooh thats gross” lol. Fücking chicks parading around in drag

Five bucks at an outdoor market. Another use for a hanfkerchief! You could pull that little pocket pistol, holster and all out wrapped in a handkerchief switch pockets with no one the wiser...it would also do a nice job of muting any print on your pants pocket!

Rather than continue derailing the memes thread, I have started a new discussion.
There, I made the assertion that a true man is never without a pocketknife, a handkerchief, and some cash. Most people had no issue with the knife or cash, but pooh-poohed the handkerchief a bit. Some even suggested that as long as there are shirt sleeves, one does not need a handkerchief. That was possibly a joke. Maybe.
However, I would like now to point out that a handkerchief is valuable for more than blowing one's nose.
Discussion? I use my ascot for blowing one's nose. I find that a nice paisley ascot can hide an entire week's accumulation of snot before being laundered. YMMV.
A wise man is frequently humbled.

I'm not sure I've ever seen handkerchiefs in stores. Bandanas yes, but handkerchiefs no. I'm sure they are there somewhere. Regardless, I'm not a fan of saving snot in my pocket so I can wipe it on my sweaty head later in the day. I've worked and played outdoors my whole life and it's always been the farmers blow for me. Maybe I'm barbaric, but I'm sticking with shirt sleeves and Kleenex.

With all that stuff in your pants pockets - It doesn't leave much room to play pool.

Pocketknife-heck yes. Really, who doesn't carry a pocketknife?
Handkerchief- Never been prone to a runny nose so don't need one. That's even after raising two kids and working daily in a dirty environment.
A pair of leather gloves, safety glasses, and disposable ear plugs are carried or very close by much of the time.

With all the crap one “needs” to carry with them every time they leave the house these days to “be prepared”, you may need a Badlands 4500 to go pick something up from Walmart
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.
