Too many comments to reply to, so I’ll just go general here. I carry a Victorinox Spartan (for over 30 years now, the main blade has been sharpened fairly thin), a Leatherman original model, and a Gerber folder every day except when flying (and I haven’t had to fly for quite a few years now).
As far as airline travel goes, I have been pointing out to everyone since 9/11 that if you put 3 guys with box cutters against 50 guys with Buck knives, I know which way I’ll bet.
I also like to mention that the most reliable way to distinguish humans from baboons is that a human always carries a knife and a way to produce fire. Baboons don’t.
Keep ‘em sharp!
Never leave home without it.
When I was in high school 60 years ago every mexican gangbanner carried a 6 inch switch blade.
Guess that’s why they made them illegal!!!
interesting discussion ping
