Every once in a while my wife will come to me and ask do you have your knife?
My answer is do I have my pants on? Then I have my knife. Just recently she has changed to Honey can I borrow your knife. She used to get upset when I would ask what she wanted to cut. I carry a smaller Schrade Uncle Henry Three bladed all the time. depending on the job which one I open for her. They are all sharp, but a different blade for each job. Maybe a little OCD but that is my way.

Sounds a lot like our house. I carry a Kershaw that looks like a baby Buck 110. Its sharp as all get out, and if it gets destroyed, or lost, I'm only out $20.00. It's a great little always knife.

I always carry a knife…..no exceptions.
I have had a small amount of training, but I need more.

I generally carry a ZT or a Spyderco. I did get a OTF recently, it's really cool. Not that great of a utility knife, but a super stabber/slasher.

When will I use it? When I have to defend and have no other choice. The tactical pens are worth looking into as well
Besides my SIG RCS 1911, I carry a Kershaw 1660 Leek. It's not a big knife, but fast opening comfortable, and much better than nothing.

Yesterday I forgot to pick up my knife when I went out, a very rare thing there I needed it to cut some small rope holding a door open but had 3 knives in my truck and got one there, you never know when the need for one will happen.

I always carry a knife as part of my EDC package. 90% of the time it's my Spyderco Native 5. How would I use it? As a last line of defense, obviously…if I didn't have a gun. I've had limited instruction here & there but I'd like to take a class that is specifically for bare hand & bladed skills. I know where to aim and feel I could be effective.

I've always said, an honest Politician has nothing to fear from it's armed citizens.
But a crooked Politician, has everything to fear from it's armed citizens. God Bless America.
