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.

Grew up on the family farm. (we still own/operate) Some where between 7-8 I got my first pocket knife. Have carried one since, feel absolutely naked without one. Hate checking them in Airports.

Currently carry a 3” Buck lock-back. Very light weight, very good quality blade, very sharp. Use a diamond stone first then follow with a crock stick. If I have the time I finish with a jeweler’s hard Arkansas stone.

Am 64 now, past being dangerous. Would still like to own a Kukri. Think they are beautiful blades.
