I'm a farmhand/construction worker, so I carry more edged weapons than my D&D character. Let me tell you whut, you don't clear fallen limbs off a fence with a carabiner knife and you don't cut strangs off hay bales with a machete. And then are you really gonna open a can of dip with the same pocketknife you used to open a can of sheep dip? I ain't. So that's two more right there.

(edit for the post above me) You need one that's big enough to be scary but not so big it becomes comical or theatrical. Not more than 9 inches but not less than 4 inches. And you gotta either switch knives every job or have one without a bunch of identifying markings.

i used to carry a pocket knife. one day I used it to pull the annoying safety tab out of my lighter, and I was standing in front of a public school. some busy body in the school called the cops because I was "menacing with a knife" (aka walking past on the way to the bank). the cops stopped me and bothered me for 10min making sure I knew they were tough, then gave me my knife back and sent me on my way.

that is my pocket knife story OP. be careful out there!

Everyone should carry a pocketknife and a cigarette lighter with them pretty much 100% of the time.

Sometimes you need to cut something. Sometimes you need to make fire.

drat straight, this is a good post. You know what the difference between you and a monkey? You have the flame and the edge. Without the flame and the edge, you're just a hairless monkey. With the flame and the edge, you're a human being.

if you're comparing a two inch pocket knife to a sword you are straight retarded

the size of the blade is an indicator of nothing else but what it is, every one possesses some fraction of the gestalt concept of "blade," and is sublimated by nearly everyone in some capacity. some of us carry pocket knives, some of us may choose more eccentric routes like using a straight razor or carrying a nice pen, which carries a lot of the same psychological cues as a knife might. some people sublimate it with a gun, but the urge to weaponry strikes all of us at some point or another. we all have our personal excalibur, whatever form it takes

as a human I know that you can make knives by hitting rocks together at the right angles, and make fire with a friction bow.

I often find myself gently fingering my knife when a muscular gent walks by. Later on I will run my fingers up and down the handle thinking of plunging my steel into his heaving form. Something something sexmurderrepression.

Actually I forgot - that was the one I originally had that ended up getting lost. My current pocketknife is actually this very similar model:

I experimented with different sized pocket knives and multitools, and I found that the keychain versions are the most handy.

Sometimes I'll carry this larger cheap Chinese knife when camping or at job sites. Spending >$100 on these things is for TFR.
