My family business is importing knives into Australia to supply shops and sell on eBay. I carry around a Victorinox Champ Swiss Army knife every day. My utility/hunting knife is a bit big to carry around in public but it's a Ka-Bar USMC black combat knife with a brown leather handle.
Just a small boxcutter in my truck, but not on my person. Don't want to upset the local "officials" with carrying anything "concealed"....so much for freedom ?? :crazy: :clap:
Currently a small, Gerber Chive. I've lost so many Case penknives, it makes me sick. The Gerber has a clip and so far, I've retained it. I keep a small SOG on my keyring, which is incredibly handy, but I HAVE TO remember to take it off my keyring when I fly. Flying, yeah, I lost a couple of nice Case knives that way as well......
In the Scouts, we use to teach the kids. "A dull blade is more dangerous than a sharp one." And there is merit to that. So often kids cut themselves because they got angry with a dull blade and went all gun ho.
As for carrying a blade. I sadly don't due to the fact that I have to go through a metal dedictor every day, and don't want the hassle of explaining it. I do pride myself on an old M3 Imperial blade I bought when I was eleven. It's got some weight, and the thing was, and still is sharp after almost 70 years. Thing even had a bit of blood on it when I got it. 0.0
Now days I carry a small Swiss Army pocket knife.
When I am in the garage I carry a buck lock blade, prolly 30 years old. Still works though.

never wanted to carry one around in my pants pocket, I want lots of room in my trousers for other things. :nana:
A small three blade Uncle Henry stockman for me, I've had it for years. Also wore a Buck folding hunter on my belt when I was in the Navy.
I almost always carry a Spyderco Native that clips nicely inside my front pocket. I work in an office and never figured I'd use a knife all that often, but it's amazing how frequently I do need it. Have a few others as well -- I particulary like a CRKT Carson M16 -- but it's a bit larger than the Spyderco for EDC.
I carry a Gerber with me all the time. It gets annoying when we go to public venues and I forget to take it out of my pocket.
I have several knives, most my dad or my grandfather gave to me when I was a kid.

All the time! I've had a couple people comment that my knife looks like it's a dangerous knife just because its black. :crazy:
I carry an Mtech, black frame. It is a little scary looking, but a very good knife and holds an edge.
It really is one tool with a thousand uses.

My EDC knife is a Benchmade Auto Stryker.
I have a Ka-Bar LDK in my wallet.
And a Triple 8 Professional Survivit Tool on my keychain.
Yeah. I know.

Ditto. Living and working around Washington DC, it's a crap shoot knowing when you might have to go through a metal detector to go meet in someone's office. Most places are getting nice enough to hold it for you while you're inside. The Newseum did that for me when I forgot to leave my knife in the car a while back.
