I swear a day doesn’t go by where I don’t use this thing. The pocket clip has me spoiled and I can’t find an excuse not to carry it. I got my wife one too and she started carrying one too.
How many of y’all carry a pocket knife around daily?

Why would I need to carry a knife?????
I used to carry a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. It has multiple tools on it. Came in real handy for cutting tubing at the hospital. It has one blade of about 3 inches. Also has a handy leather punch that I use to add holes to my belt as I lose weight.

I used too. I lost too many to the airlines after the TSA changes post 911, that I’ve fallen from the habit.
Until I quit wearing jeans a couple of years ago and started wearing Adidas track suits I never went anywhere without this.

For the bottle cap opener.
Not in many, many years. A lot of it depends on what you do for a job.

It's a tool that I use every day. The pocket clip is an absolute must.

Amazing how as we age, comfort trumps form and function.

My Swiss Victorinix Tinker is always with me.

As a youngling growing up in the country, I tended to carry a pocketknife all the time. Less so when I moved to the city and NEVER at this point. I am deaf with a cochlear implant and while we could sit somewhere quiet and converse, I have trouble hearing in noisy environments. Given that I have to go explain to however is tending whatever kind of scanner for whatever security that I have a medical device, I think having even a little knife might cause greater confusion.
Deaf people get messed with a LOT and I don't want to give anyone a reason to bug me.

I carried one when I was a kid when I went camping, that's about it.

My grandfather is the reason I play guitars. He was a mechanic and a tool maker, could fix anything and could fashion a part or tool from scrap metal. He kept a 52’ Tele in his shed, mucked up by grease (his hands were permanently greased). Anyway he gave me his Swiss Army knife when I was a kid, I carried it for decades then TSA took it from me. Still upsets me, I almost ran from the gate I was that unhappy with them, but I had a 11 month baby with me. Quit carrying after that but I do keep a 16” kukri in my backpack.
Have the Mini Gripitlian in black. What I love about these, is clipped in your pocket you just grab and its opened. Also love the one handed blade closing. Carried a small Swiss army for many years

Mine's tiny and sometimes gets lost in my change, but it's useful.
It's a C.R.K.T "Delilah's P.E.C.K" and only about 1 3/4" long when folded.
Decent for opening boxes, etc.

When I actually had a job I carried a Leatherman or some type of multi-tool everyday….
While I don't stream fish anymore, I do use this chest pack and knife as my daily man-pack.

I use mine everyday to open gear packaging and eat cereal.
