Pocket Knives - Do You Carry One?

[ladyVet]

147. I used to.

I started when I was first in the USAF and was opening an envelope with some stock for one of the base organizations and a small pocketknife fell out onto my lap. It was an Oldtimer, too.

I later got a larger one, and I had one in my pocket all the time (or if I didn't have anything on with pockets, it was either in my car or purse. I carried a knife until sometime in the late 90s (often had a box cutter, too, depending on what job I had at the time) and don't even remember stopping. Might have been due to greater security and people wigging out over knives.

I need to dig up the larger knife and start carrying it again. Never know when you might need something that has a sharp edge, and nail clippers don't seem to work that well for anything serious. The little one got lost outside, and by the time I found it again it was rusted almost to a sliver.
