At work, we have to "de metalize" people for their scan.  Most of the time, it just involves telling people to empty out their pockets.  I'm amazed at the number of guys that carry a knife.  Not just the tiny pocket deal for getting dirt out of your fingernails;  but most often a decent 3-4 inch folding/locking knife.

I have never "carried" one.(I personally can't stand things in my pockets at all, coins, wallet, especially keys.)

Never saw the need to. Including the newest fashion accessory to the 30 pack crowd, the Leatherman.

sometimes, not much anymore though

i have several 4-6 inch  lockback models

Utility? Protection? Whatever?

Chicks dig it?

Only when I'm backpacking. I carry a 7" folding knife on my belt:

My dad has always carried a small (like 2") pocket knife, and it's surprisingly handy, but I, like you, just don't like carrying stuff in my pocket.

hahaha,  that's funny .  I have that one too

all !

It's a nice knife, with pretty good balance/feel. I wish I had opted for the smaller version though. The larger handle is a little big for my delicate feminine hands.

Small pocket knife.

SOG KNIVES - JETEDGE
 
 T hese fascinating and stylish hybrid foldinq knives combine a liner type lock, ATS-34 steel, carbon fiber handle, and an unmistakable SOG evolution on blade design.
Carbon fiber laminates were developed for the aerospace industry which required maximum strength to weight ratios, hiqh tensile properties and all weather durability. This combination lends itself to making an especially rugged and light weight knife handle.

The half serrated ATS-34 blades of the SOG JetEdge Knife are surgically sharp. ATS-34 is considered to be a custom, quality stain resistant steel that exhibits excellent edge holding, toughness and hardness.

Unlike any other blade design, the SOG JetEdge Knife showcases new grind lines along with a "shark tooth tip" which generates exceptional point strength. SOG's preferred opening slot fits within the contours of the blade and provides quick one hand opening. A scalloped thumb rest increases downward pressure and offer delicate tip control for precision work.

These unique features combine to make the SOG JetEdqe Knife one of the most advanced technical folders in the world today; for the outdoorsman as well a the professional.

 

I keep one of those in my fencing bag, ironically enough. (it's to cut sports tape, but you get what I mean)

No knife on me, I think I have a pocketknife in my car, though.  I also don't like carrying things in my pockets.  I'm down to just two keys plus bottleopener keychain and a minimal, fairly thin wallet.  Plus the cursed cellphone when I'm not wearing a jacket.

I think I may have contributed a little to distributing some Leathermans out there.  I was looking for groomsmen gifts last year and searched FGI for ideas and I think Persimmon and QCngn suggested Leathermans.  After realizing that "leatherman" didn't mean what I thought from those two, I went out and bought a few.

LMFAO!!!!!!  That is pricelless!!!!  Thanks for the laugh.

asschaps

wouldn't leave home without one, and use it constantly. ;)

I think "leatherman tool" is the more disturbing "gift" to be giving.  Or receiving.

what tribe are you?

I prefer something with a little more stopping power.

Crap for undoing screws though.

Those jamboks are cool.

Nrxt time I'm attacked by cardboard target men or melons, or even guys in slow motion (that were dumb enough to attack someone holding that thing in the first place) I will be wishing I had one.

Or more.

Yes.

Really?  Care to expound?

For now, it's just a 2 1/2" single blade knife.

However, I'm thinking of getting a small Swiss Army Knife to carry around instead because I'd hate to accidentally lose the one that I'm carrying now. (It was my grandfather's.)

I have a small Trapper style knife that's only about 1/1/2" long. I carry it all the time.

She did that just so you would ask. :D ;)

I figured.

Curiosity can be a good thing.  (So long as you don't take your curiosity to the extent the cat did.)

Oh, so just knowing whether or not we carry one isn't good enough for you anymore... now you have to know why!

I carry one because I like having something to open things while I'm on the go. 

i carry a smith and wesson. 

I thought you were just pleased to see me.

A 4 incher?

I hope you sheath it.

Especially tonight.

why especially tonight?  I think it's 4 in or maybe less.  It's legal to carry though. 

Always have a sheath handy for your weapon when going out on NYE with a girl you don't know all that well. 

I figured you figured. ;)

The world don't seem right, with eagle carring a knife!!!! [sm_shock] [sm_shock] [sm_shock]
I hope she don't end up like this old lady!!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Wichi, do you prefer them sheathed?

I have no idea, or interest in knives!!!!! ;D

Guffaw.

lol.  I grew up around such stuff, so I really never gave much thought to it.  And they sure work better than finger nails. 

The knife is too small to be much of protection so I might have to start carrying a small derringer, too, or my dad may never let me leave  my yard by myself....

Huh? ::)

If I'm close enough to engage in hand to hand combat with a knife I prefer to whip out my hand gun and pistol whip my foe.

Unless it's Prokrop's dad.

I hear he's a tough sumbitch to knockdown.

 [sm_devil]

Derringer schmerringer.  I spray my wife with contact adhesive and then roll her in broken glass, used syringes, and printouts of tennisbumbishop's equipment threads.  A potent combination, it keeps the troublemakers at bay, I think.

Used to all the time and did everyday last year when deployed.  However, now days it seems it is hit and miss and if I do it is a regular 2 blade shrade.  I do have several different ones in sheaths that when I hunt, one is on the belt.

Same here.

The only knife I carry is in my golf bag.  I never know when I'll have to take down and dress an elk on the course.  Or defend myself from a raging mother black bear when she feels her cubs are threatened.

 :lolspit:
I nominate this as post of the year.

What do you mean by 'huh'?  You know exactly what I'm talking about.  Remember Saturday at Sears????????

I suppose I could carry a 357, but then there wouldn't be much room for anything else in my purse....

And I must say, I feel so sorry for your wife.  You won't even protect yourself, you make her protect you.  :sad3:
