Knives are very useful items. It is insane that many local and state governments forbid us from carrying those that we find useful.

Knives are arms protected by the Constitution.

I carry 2 multi tools with me. One is a small one on my keychain and the other is full sized and stays in my glove box.

I carry one clipped to the bib of my chest waders.
If I slip in the river, I want to be able to rip those waders open from the inside in no time flat.

Nope, I no longer travel to states that have restrictive knife or CCW laws. Not even for business. Sates that have CCW reciprocity with Colorado will get business. Others won’t.

I always carry a Leatherman Skeletool (has an outside accessable blade,) a SOG Twitch II (assisted opening knife,) and a Victorinox Classic SD.

[Lucas McCain]

I’ve carried a knife for about 50 years, since I was a boy. Never once used it as a weapon, but I keep it sharp. Just in case.

And that’s why smart people wear fall protection when doing roofing work.

Wat back when the kids were still young we went fishing down at Port Aransas. We were in the boat near the end of the jetties ,anchored off with a bow line and maybe 75 feet of line.We were fishing for sheephead near the rocks so I dropped a stern anchor to keep us in one spot, just straight down. A coast gaurd cutter came through, kinda close pushing a helluva wake. The first wave hit and I realized the anchor was hung up and water came over the stern, the second wave was much larger , I had my knife laying out I was using for cutting bait. It was sharp. I used it to cut the anchor line before the wave hit saving us from being swamped and sunk. Since then I always keep an open ready knife anytime I am boating.

I carry an Emerson, and spend my time away from FR over at Bladeforums.com, happiness is a quality knife.

Much of they energy for the pending knife legislation in Georgia is coming from Bladeforums,in support of Blade Magazine’s annual “Blade Show” in Atlanta, right after Memorial Day. Many of the attendees have had issues navigating the patchwork of local ordinances down there.

Most people who see the dive knife that a Scuba diver
carries thinks you have it to fight off sharks or something
else adventuresome. It is actually to free yourself if you
get tangled up in fishing line or cord of some sort. Most of
us sharpen them with a file so they have a sawing action on
rope. I carry my main knife on my calf, but have a small
folder on a clip over the sternum that is reachable if I
get too tangled to get to the other. Never needed them, but
don’t dive without them.

I always have a good knife and gun on me.

Like the saying goes, when you need a knife, you REALLY need a knife.

Good thing he had a liner lock. Those old lock-back knives are useless in a situation like the one he found himself in; i.e., slam a lock-back knife into tough material like he did and it's highly likely it would've closed on his fingers. The locking mechanism on lock backs is very weak in comparison to liner locks (aka side locks).

Two questions.

Why would someone spray water on the roof? Only ten feet from the ground to the front edge, but considerably further to start it running down the other side. Would a lawn sprinkler do that? Or someone deliberately pointing a hose up there?

I’ve done some work screwing down metal roofing, and I used a ladder with ladder hooks on it, which you run up over the top of the roof. It makes things a lot safer, I would think, and it’s not much trouble.

Just wondering. And I certainly agree that it is ridiculous to have laws against carrying knives.

[Graybeard58]

My dad always carried a Case brand pocket knife and he gave me one when I was about 8 years old, I carried it at all times, even in school. When dad passed away I got 4 of his Case knives, I still carry one of them. I gave one each to my two sons and they carried them at all times, even to school.

Recently I gave the other one to my 11 year old grand son, with the warning that he cannot carry that useful tool to school, he’d probably be arrested.

[AAABEST]

Knife, light, gun are usually on me if I'm dressed.

I had the SOG Trident, but found it didn't hold up over time in rough environments.

I'm carrying the Spyderco Dragonfly now and abolutely love it. Those who appreciate good knives will find it's very well made. It's also small enough for me to not notice it's there when I'm wearing jeans.

For many years I worked as a professional calligrapher. Would never be without my knife.

So, never assume a nicely dressed woman with an artist’s box can’t whip out her knife and sink it somewhere vital.
