    Yes, I was wondering how often it justfied the hassle of carrying it around. I find pocket knives to be barely worth it.

      I’m sure you’ve heard the same old shit, it’s like a fire extinguisher, rather have it and not need it, etc.

      It’s a lot at first. Figuring out how to carry with different clothes, investing in belts and holsters and realizing 90% of what you thought would work well for you actually doesn’t. After you figure out what does work, it’s a way of life. Like people that wear a watch every day (me) or people that carry a knife every day (me). You feel weird when you don’t have it.

      Also, I carry a knife for cutting stuff at work, opening letters when I get home, and slicing open stubborn packs of fruit snacks. Pocket knives are not for self defense.
