wife and I have both a gun and knife on us probably 95% of the time if we are clothed and out of the house. Mostly inside the house too for that matter.
If I reach for a knife and there isn't one I'm lost. Wife is too. I sharpen her about 6 or so for the 6 or more months a year I"m gone. So she has sharp ones at hand. to top that off she carries an automatic d2 steel one for defense along with any of her guns.
Key chains usually have seat belt cutters and glass breakers on them, though the glass breaker part has to be used multiple times to break auto glass usually. sOmetimes you swear it won't work at all. When you move Alaska? Last time we talked you were in Texas I believe! Resident since 2019. But a snowbird so am in TX for some months in the winter and always will be. Wife decided the winters are too dark to be there year around. Works out just fine for me. K Be careful up thar! Thar bees injuns in dem hills Pilgrum! Lol injuns ok. bears this past year were a bit wild lets say. Never had that many run ins with bears as 23. all well though. Well not all of the bears though... lol

Semi related- what's the deal with the younger
people not wanting anything in their pockets?
That's what they're for
Just like belt loops are for a belt to thread through

I've been carrying a Camillus Stockman since I was ten years old and my dad gave it to me for Christmas. Other than on an airplane or going into a Federal or State courthouse, I am never without it. Razor sharp and still "walks and talks" just as it did when I received it. A million uses since 1947.  L.W.

Always, unless I'm asleep or in the shower. Drives me nuts to get on a plane or go inside the grandkids school.

Got a class picture from 4th grade with several of of us in Cub Scout uniforms carrying our Official Cub Scout knives clipped to our belts, that would have been around age 9 or 10. Have carried pocket knives of various sizes all through high school and into college and the Army and back into civilian life.
Currently carry three, a big Kershaw pocket clip, a very small Buck and a tiny Swiss army knife. The latter two mostly serve as key chain fobs when not in actual use.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Ive carried a pocket knife since i was a kid. 2 of them lasted me 40 years. A Kabar Muskrat skinner and a Buck 313 bought both in as a kid. The muskrat skinner got lost after many years, when it flew of my front shirt pocket jumping across a trout stream. The buck got retired a while back when the nail groove got so shallow I couldn’t open it anymore. These days I have a rotation depending on the day. The most picked are a Rat2 or Montana Knives Speed Goat or Mini fixed blades. Kinda getting fond of carrying them in my pocket or as a necker. Some others that make it out some are a benchmade mini grip, a Spyderco Paramilitary. I always have at least one on me. How do people open packages or clean their fingernails without a knife? Or cut off a hunk of deer sausage and cheese? Those people lucky to be alive.

I can't be without a pocket knife. I carry a cheap Walmart special 99% of the time. It seems I lose pocket knives a lot. I'm not giving up one of my good ones.

All the time. People who know me are aware of this and count on it.

Always. Right now it's between the two folders I haven't lost yet, a Kershaw something and a Rat 2. Funny thing is that the first carry knife I ever had, a Barlow, is the only one (other than these two) that I've never lost. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/YSrPcMcb/PXL-20231225-200541071.jpg) image host

Never could understand grown men in the workplace without a pocket knife and something to write with.

I guess I'm odd man out. Haven't carried a pocket knife since i was in the boy scouts. Never saw the need for one or wished I'd had one.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
