Guys - do you still carry a small pocket knife?

I’m curious if men still carry pocket knives. I’ve heard teenagers can’t carry them to school anymore. :rolleyes: The airport security takes them from passengers.

I still carry mine. It’s not a weapon. A small pen knife. Clean my nails, open letters, cut string or tape on packages etc. My uncle gave me my first pocket knife when I was nine.

A pretty common Case pocket knife.

Do you prefer a particular brand or style?

Any carry a Swiss pocket knife with all the tools?

Do you prefer vintage knifes?

No. I used to when I worked outside in a garden center and it was constantly useful. Working a desk job, it just never comes up and I haven’t missed it in the years I’ve gone without.

3

Not since I was maybe 12.

4

I do, most of the time, for small jobs. Very handy. Got my first one when I was 8 or so and promptly cut the tip of my finger nearly off. That’s one way to learn respect for a sharp blade.

5

It’s not quite a pocket knife, but I keep a cheap little key-sized multitool on my keyring. It’s not great, but it typically does the job well enough.

6

Leatherman Squirt on my keys, until it died in action. I carry a larger knife in my bag for cutting up apples and such.

7

I used to carry my father’s old pocket knife (my mother gave it to me when he died), but I don’t carry it with me because if I did I am certain that I would forget and end up having it taken from me during a security scan.
So, it sits in my NASA coffee cup on my desk at home along with other memorabilia.

Carry a multi-tool little Chinese knockoff of a Swiss Army knife-got it in a promotion and use it everyday for one thing or another. Father gave me a Winchester pocket knife when I was 13.
My son has it now.

9

Almost forgot to mention my Boy Scout knife. :wink: I carried that up till college.

Cheap metal. Never kept an edge. I still loved it. It got me through many a Jamboree.

10

Yes, I mostly keep a Swiss Army knife on me. Came in handy during the year I was warehousing and still comes in handy now.

11

Carry one? I don’t own one.

12

I always carry either a Leatherman Squirt or a Gerber Clutch in my pocket. If I am away from home or classroom, there is a Leatherman Juice or a Gerber Suspension in my pack or on my belt. I also have a couple of Gerber Trussknives clipped to my truck visor, tucked into an off pocket, or whatever.

13

Yes, I have one of these on my key chain. It’s the size of a regular key so it’s not obtrusive at all and performs all the little functions I need it for.

14

That’s exactly what I’ve got too, I just couldn’t remember the name. Handy little thing, if not as strong as a Leatherman.

15

Yes, I have one of the mini Swiss Army knives (the “classic”?) on my keyring. I use it all the time.

16

My husband has a tiny Leatherman knife-thing at all times, plus probably other things–he has a bunch of 'em. My 10yo girl likes to carry her Swiss Army knife*, and I have a sort of multi-tool thingy in my purse since I lost my S.A. knife I had for years. (If anyone wants to give me a Leatherman, please feel free!)
*No, she couldn’t take it in a school, but she doesn’t go to school anyway.

17

I used to carry one all the time, until I began working in a prison where it’s not allowed.

So to make sure I don’t screw up and run afoul of the rules, I never carry one now.

18

Me three.

19

I also carry around a Leatherman Juice, the KF4, which unfortunately isn’t made anymore (but still available to purchase in some online stores), because it is by far my favorite pocket knife out of any I have ever owned. I received it in 2007, and can’t even count the number it times I’ve used it to save my day when there weren’t any tools available.

Yup - it’s a Victorinox Pioneer. It probably gets use once a week or so to open a box, tighten a screw, whatever.

Love having it on me - saves a lot of frustration.
