Me: last time I tried to open a bag of chips with my Glock there were problems.

Because my Dad told me that a man should always carry a pocketknife .

Same reason I always carry a flashlight and a gun. I might need it.

I grew up watching the myriad ways my dad used his pocket knife. I carry one in my purse for the same reasons.

I say " there is always something needing to be cut".

I'm usually in the kitchen w/ kitchen shears. Do not underestimate the kitchen shears.
Because when I leave the kitchen, they are shear terror to most everything.
I've got the Cutco brand that I've used on a partially frozen 20lb turkey spine.

For regular stuff I go for my leatherman supertool. But it's possible I opened the leatherman package w/ kitchen shears.

Gibbs rule #9: always carry a knife.

It seems irresponsible not to. Why wouldn't you carry a knife?

Well, at my age it takes longer to sharpen flint than when I was a young knuckle dragger.

I kept bumping into people with my sword.

It's much handier than carrying a can opener, bottle opener, pair of forceps, slot head screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, file, toothpick, wire stripper, corkscrew, and cigar cutter separately. Thank you, Victorinox.

I feel naked without my knife. I left my pocket Spyderco in the car, but forgot about my keychain size Swiss Army knife, scissor, file, toothpick and tweezer. They confiscated it at Providence Park. I don't think I ever used the file or tweezer.....

Because I can.

I always say, "You never know when you might come across a steak that needs slicing."

Best damn $125 screwdriver and hammer combo on the planet.

As a sailor I always carried a knife.
That carried over into policing and my civilian life.
My EDC is:
Spiderco endura
Streamlight microstream
Money clip
Wallet& retired credentials
Extra magazine
Pistol w holster

Apparently it’s because you twatwaffles are always asking me to borrow it.

I use it to clean my ears out with.

Mmhmm.

This. I am always asked to open something as someone doesn’t have a knife and they know I do. Or, they struggle to open something and I whip out my knife and open it and they ask why I carry a knife. Back to original response of things need to be opened.

I won’t forget when I was in the private sector and worked for the first boss I can say was actually a horrible human being and super far left liberal. He was trying to open something and couldn’t find scissors so I whipped out my knife and opened it. He literally freaked the hell out asking why I had a weapon. He tried taking it to HR and there was no policy to prohibit me. I actually even had gone to HR to get it documented I could carry my firearm prior to him ever getting hired and being my boss. He was so pissed there was nothing he could do. The day I quit, because I could not take him anymore, he had security escort me as I was later told he was afraid I might do a mass killing. Seriously dude???
