    I always have a knife of some sort on me at home. But when out in public I carry at least two. I carry a Victorinox sportsman or an old school 4 bladed lockback for general utility and either Cold Steel recon 1 or CRKT M16-12z for defensive purposes. I add a SOG Seal Pup if out in the woods. A knife is probably the most useful tool you can carry on you.

    Different ones at different times, yes, but always a razor blade one in the pocket.

    I always carry a pair - for the past couple years, they've been Spyderco Native III's with the combo-edge blade. Prior to that they were Spyderco Delicas, and prior to that they were Benchmade something-or-others.

    I don't do expensive knives, because the vast majority of the time they're used for mundane stuff like opening packages and breaking down boxes, and I have a bad habit of losing 'em.

    Frankly, knives and especially knife-fighting scare the bejeezus out of me. I was taught to use the knife as an "anti-grappling device" (thus the reason for carrying two, one on either side of the body), but I have seen firsthand what someone who is really good with a blade can do, and I don't want any part of that sh*t.

    Having a couple knives provides a small bit of comfort in those times/places where I can't carry a gun, but I'd much rather just shoot the sum'bitch if at all possible. :draw:

    I ALWAYS have a knife with me, be lost without one. On-duty it's been an original S&W First Response (Serrated blade with the window punch) for the last several years. Off-duty, it's usually my old CRKT M-16. Holds an edge better than any other knife I've had and I put them to the test daily on the farm!

    Yes - I've had a knife on me as long as I can remember. When I was in grade school I would stick it in my mailbox when I got on the bus, then take it out when I got off.

    Currently, I carry a Benchmade Stryker. If I'm going to be in water, I carry a Spyderco Salt..

    I've carried a pocket knife since high school, many decades ago. Currently it's a CRKT M16-13Z or a Spyderco Military w/ carbon fiber grip. Other Spydercos or CRKt's as the mood strikes me. Knives are just fun to collect and handle.

    Yup.

    It is either a Spyderco Delica 4 (usually it is) or a Benchmade Griptilian. I have an Endura 4, but it is a bit large for daily carry. The Delica is my favorite EDC knife that I have ever owned.

    I also have a small Victorinox on my keychain.

    Until resently I carried a Buck Odessy serrated. I am currently carrying a S&W Extreme Ops Tanto. My non-casual knife is any of the above plus a stainless Kershaw. but I'm not to keen on that one. Also have a Gerber mini-covert.

    I have a couple of knives.

    The only one I normally carry is my Leatherman's tool. It's a real Leatherman and not a Knock off.

    I also have a Buck 110 (I know, old school), that I bought after basic training. I carried this knife 24/7 for the whole time I was in the Army, and it went with me to Panama and Iraq. I still carry it occasionally.

    I also have a Buck 119 fixed blade hunting knife that I use when hunting or out in the woods for whatever reason.

    I also have a Kobalt box cutter like the one pictured earlier that I use for work. That one normally stays in my tool pouch though.
