I have a million pocket knives and flashlights. I threw away a couple flashlights the other day ago because I have too many. Also have two headlamps and three solar lanterns.
Do you carry a pocket knife?

I've been carrying this old Boker Tree Brand that was my grandfather's for about 15 years.
I cut fruit daily at my desk. Don't even have to get up to do it, much less trust some other man's blade (or the communal Petri dish knife in the break room) to be clean. Your mileage may vary, but, at least you won't have that extra 2oz in your pocket to weigh you down.
I have the knives that were being carried at time of death by both grandfathers and my father. They rarely see daylight.
This is my point exactly. Few people actually need to carry a pocket knife. I work with a computer, attend meetings, and crawl around building all day. I don't need a knife to accomplish any of that.
This isn't the narrative "big knife" would have you believe. But it is the case for the majority of Americans.
I do a fair amount of the same in my days, but find plenty of uses for the most utilitarian tool of all time.
When we have to leave our desks and go out to the production bays, we're supposed to just "observe", too, but I get a rise out of throwing a tape measure on a girder and watching the welders flip ****. Best to have a knife on hand if you're gonna be a true industrial gangsta like that.
I used to carry a small Case every day but I fly frequently and afraid I'll forget about and get it confiscated.
I keep a small Swiss Army knife in my desk. It is as big as I require. I use it to trim my fingernails once a week. I never have the unexpected need to skin a buck, carve a pineapple, or engage in hand to hand combat, so this is all I need. But I'm apparently a strange American.
Lol you could literally read the political thread and pick out which fruit cakes "don't need a knife".
At least they're consistent in their desire to be the most feminine males in America.

My wife carries pepper spray on her walks, mainly for dogs. One shot of that **** between your eyes and she'd have you crying like a baby.
Carrying an unnecessary knife proves your masculinity? That's what I thought, dipshit.
First of all, MANY people need knives for work. Stop projecting your life's needs on everyone else. I teach high school and use my knife daily for an array of task including opening mail, opening and tearing down boxes so my trash doesn't build up in my office, or just a good confealed personal defense weapon. Some of you must live in gated communities next to media elites. I work and interact in places like Frayser, an extremely gang riddled and dangerous community. If you're a white guy, you're an idiot if you regulate your means to defense in these areas.
Knives are great for many uses. What is your point?
I'm just playing with you. I don't care what you fill your pockets or belt with. I tried carrying a knife, but never needed it. Actually lost a few in the process. I've got enough crap to keep track of. I like to keep life as simple as possible.
Makes more sense than determining all men who carry a pocket knife are boot wearing cowboy wanna be's from the 60's.
Not to mention pepper spray won't work on a huge chunk of the population. If an attacker has spent time in prison, chances are civilian pepper spray will only piss him off and make the inevitable raping worse.
Every single day. I get a lot of mail for several reasons and my knife opens it neatly and quickly.
Strangest brag in the history of this board?
This is the most useful knife I've ever carried. I used to carry a Case or an Opinel but the assisted opening on the Kershaw is unbelievably convenient. Not shown here, it also has a small blade that has a screwdriver tip, hex hole as a wrench, and bottle opener.
I know people like that. They sit back in their easy chair with their glasses around their nose and surgically cut a perfect line through the envelope in the time it takes you to open 5 envelopes with your bare hands like a real god fearing man would.
No I just get a lot of mail and a nice knife opens it quickly. If it's boxes they tear down easily.
Amazing how weird some of you get.
Yea. I carry a pocket knife, like millions of people do.
The only parody I can see comes from the weird feminine boys like yourself.
It's odd that you associate femininity with not carrying a knife. Dr. Freud would find you most interesting, I'm sure.
Considering Freud was a freak and discredited on many accounts, I'm sure he would.
It's always the same crowd. A thread on a GD pocket knife ends up a race to see who has the biggest *****. Go figure.
I own this little piece of redneck
Only time I ever needed a knife was to cut my dick off.
