Default People who don't carry a knife...

are idiots. Plain and simple. I sometimes get people at work asking me to borrow my knife to cut open a box and see people struggle to open packages(ex. cd wrapping). Also in movies the victim is so helpless because they're primary weapon(usually a gun) fails to work or runs out of ammo, but a simple 3" blade could do wonder's on the attacker's throat, arteries, spinal cord, ect.

W&C prolly gets this question alot, but what type of knife(s) do you carry every day? Mine is a Kabar Dozier Thorn folder, D2 steel(60-61 Rc hardness) at the moment.

Knives suck as weapons. The only time I would ever pull a knife in a fight is if the fight has gone to the ground. I would keep stabing the kidney's as hard and as fast as I could.

I do carry a knife daily for work related tasks. It is a tool after all.

It is an old school Kershaw. I need to get a new knife. I'm looking at gerber's lineup.

Flight 93.

Knives to typically suck as weapons.

I collect knives, so what knife I carry depends on rotation. Remember- not everyone can carry depending on job and location.

How many do you have? I managed to collect 65 knives(blade under 12") but sold most of them on ebay since alot of them were flea market junk.
