why do you carry a knife?

Have carried one since grade school, oh yes that was allowed. We even had boots that had a jack knife sheath sewn on the side and that was the ultimate, otherwise it was in the pocket. We played mumbleypeg and strech with our jack knives during recess. Carried one even in the Army and then as a Law Enforcement officer for the next 27+ years. And now 17 years later I still wear a folder on my belt. Don't believe I'm a threat to national security or anyone elses's. Use them almost daily for numerous chores.

boy that sure brought back a memory, the boots with the built in knife pocket. seemed like the laces were about ten feet long. of course we were smaller then and everything seemed bigger than it was.

thanks for the memory pardner.
