I always carry two. My main one has done everything from castrating calves to prepping food *sometimes in THAT order, not joking^. The other is backup. I could shave with them if I wanted to. I, like most American males, have been carrying at least a pocket knife since I could tie my shoes.
The British have turned into pansies. I am really embarrassed for the UK.
It’s sickening how they have completely wasted their manhood. I spend a good amount of time working with dozens of boys and young men teaching them to be actual men.
My Grandfather said a gentleman always carries a pocket knife. You can tell a lot about his character by how sharp he keeps it. These old guys were pretty smart. Glad I listened to him.
