****** “You don’t go into the woods without at least a knife on you” *******
I never go anywhere without one, but these days the kids can’t take them to school so it isn’t natural for them to always have one.

I carried a Swiss army pocket knife to school starting in the 5th grade. I don’t go anywhere without it. My parents thought I was wasting my money, saying I would either lose it or it would wear out.
They were right. After 40 years the plastic on one side came off. Probably because I occasionally used it as a small hammer. I bought another just like it and have carried it for 12 more years.
