The knife I usually carry daily is a Victorinox. It is a step up from the “Spartan” but I can’t recall the exact name. Of the maybe two dozen Swiss Army knives I own including the huge Swisschamp, I like it best.
I probably use the toothpick more than any other tool but the screwdrivers get a lot of use too. The main blade also gets a lot of use but for utilitarian purposes. I use a walking stick and it is a Cold Steel Irish Blackthorne. It would be an effective weapon assuming I really knew how to use it. I actually don’t but could probably improvise.
I do have a few high quality assisted opening knives, all bought on clearance. I can open them fairly easily but not like those who are good with them. The main reason is arthritis in my knuckles.
I’ve known a few guys that were knife men.
One you wouldn’t want to fool with even if you had a knife and he didn’t.
If he wanted a knife he would take yours.
If he had a knife you better have a gun and you had better not get anywhere near him.
I don’t like the thought of getting cut up.
A few years ago a guy was selling walking sticks made out of the barrels taken off 98 Mauser rifles.
He would cut them down to the right length, put a pool ball on the already threaded end and a rubber stopper on the other end.
Bar mace.
Didn’t take skill just the will to hit someone with it.
