Do you carry a Pocket knife ?
 

How many of you folks carry a pocket knife. I don't carry one much, anymore, but have several. How bout posting a pic of yours and telling us why you like it.

My favorite is an older Parker. I'll post a pic of it tomorrow.

Maureen does not allow me to be around knives ,pocket or otherwise.

Wow! that makes me think of my Dad,until the day he died he carried a knife a hankerchief
and and comb... not to mention a wallet and thought lesser of people who didnt

Pocket Knives chaff my inner thighs! .... but I always wondered why a modern day person would carry a knife, I dont mean a pocket knife but a strapon like a Buck Knife ... any cop could fill em full of lead and be justified (sorta) because the guy was carrying a knife ......

but I regress, I used to do work for Buck Knives when they were in ElCajon, CA and could usually get my pick of knives for free ..... I passed!

Carry one every day. The one I carry I got in Yellowstone park in 1992.

It may sound odd but one of the few things I have from my great grandfather is his hanky's. I would guess they are from the 40's.

As for why would one carry a knife well thats a debate I will leave to another thread.

Not really. It's legal to carry a gun here with no permit as long as it's not concealed.

I have a pocket knife on the dresser, I use to carry it a lot but not very often now.

I carry a pocket knife every day... I have since middle-school. :o Never even thought of it as a "weapon", it's always been a "tool"

My current one is a swiss-army knife with a bunch of stuff on it, screwdrivers, knives, sawblade, bottle opener, file, pick, scissors, etc. I use the scissors more than anything else, and that's just to trim my fingernails. I just had to buy a new one because I lost my old one. The old one belonged to the previous owner of my '69 SS car... he left it in there. :)

I carry a Ruger LCP .380 in my other pocket. :D

I am not talking about the average joe (or grandpa carrying a pocket knife thats their business, I am referring to someone strapping some big blade on their hip with not practical use other than a weapon .... and maybe, due to the gun laws, it is common in my state, plus it seems the ones that most do it are probably ex-cons

Like I said earlier, it puts the carrier in a position that can result in no good ... especially in a police interface.

Buck folding knife, model 112 in my left pocket, Smith & Wesson 357, air-lite in my right. Always.

Which is why I'm real careful about what I say to Tony. :ntwrthy:

hey................what's that supposed to mean?????????????? Huh...what????????? What you lookin at???????????? You want summa dis???????????

OK...I'm better now Hank. How are you doing this fine morning? I hope all is well with you and the family. The sun is shining here. It is going to be a beautiful Michigan Winter day! The snowflakes are sparkling! We are so lucky to live in a State where we have all the different seasons! (meds are working)

I'm trying to lay out some flames on the 34 today. It goes for body and paint in the morning. I haven't done a set of flames in years, so I need to practice before I do the real ones. I've been through a whole roll of 1/8" tape so far. Just can't get the look that I want. I'll have a couple of months to practice though.
I should be in Fla about the same time you are. I'll give you a call when I get there and see what you are up to. Good luck with the MH.

I know quite a few people in Wisconsin that carry big knives like that. They carry knives because it's illegal to conceal a firearm in WI, and they don't want to be completely defenseless. Also, the knife is a big deterrent for criminals... they'll look for an easier target instead of trying to rob the guy with the big knife.

Cops can't just shoot a guy because he has a knife, he'd have to actually have the knife out of its sheath and act aggressive toward the cop.

Thank God for meds Tony. We're doing fine down south here in the warm weather. Glad I don't live up there in the frigid north like you. Looking forward to the possible 8" of snow Tuesday and Wednesday. I like the different seasons too, both winter and orange cone. I've just been busy working on the motorhome. Not that I don't want to go to FL but I just wasn't ready for it, no fun working on it in the cold.

My uncle wants to take his down to see my mom and sister. He's taking my great aunt, turns 99 in June. Probably last time she will get to FL. He's 70 and he's a little nervous about traveling alone. So we said we'd drive down with them so he has some backup if there's a problem. A month of warm weather won't be too bad either.

You staying at your brother's? Done anything more with your property there?

"Never take a knife to a gun fight!"

I would have to say if a guy is carring a knife on his side from fear of getting robbed it seems a glock would be a better choice. CWP's are not too difficult to get here and if I thought I need protection it would be the gun route. Great insurance.

I carry a pocket knife Mon thru Fri for use at work but seldom ever on the weekends.

Winchester Knife - Part Serrated Drop Point Parafive Linerlock Knife: Model G-1792 - also carry a Leatherman Wave, which has saved my butt in emergency car repairs, many times.

Here is a pic of my beater Parker.

I carried a gerber for years, but now I can't go without my little swiss army knife. I must use it ten times a day at work and home. Little bugger really comes in handy.

I suppose I can say that my van carries a knife in the glove box. I didn't know this until we needed a tool and David said, "Oh yeah I put that knife the kids gave me in here". "It is a Swiss army knife cause Daddy is always looking for some kind of tool", that's what the kids said they wanted for David.

My wife teaches school ... says the primary item in her desk is confiscated knives taken from kids (electronics is number 2) .... interesting the children feel a need to carry one and bring it to school no less.

Been carrying a pocket knife for years. I'm old enough to even have carried a small pocket knife to school of all things without having to call out the Swat Teams. Don't feel completly dressed without it. Usually carry a single blade Kershaw, sometimes I use a small Buck. Used to carry a double bladed Case Folding Hunter I got in Junior High until it became too collectible and figured I might mis-lay it.

I carried a knife in school too (graduated 10 years ago)... worked in my Dad's body shop after school, and got used to ALWAYS carrying it. I was smart enough not to take it out of my pocket at school, so it was never confiscated. ;)

Buck 303. Every day. Wife bought it for me 40 years ago.
8 yr old Grandson asked me if I had my knife with me one day. I said "does Grandpa have pants on?" He said yes. I said "then my knife is with me"

Mine is a Victorinox Fieldmaster

After losing my previous knife, I had to find another with a scissors so I could trim my fingernails. :D

That's not a pocket knife Derek, it's a tool chest.

I had one of those years ago. Not sure whatever happened to it but it was handy.
