Do you carry a pocket knife?

Yes.  This is my EDC.  It has a 1.5-inch blade.  It takes up very little real estate when clipped top by front pocket.

I have another knife I carry in the evening and on weekends (my work knife) and I have a backup EDC with a 3.5-inch blade if I want to carry a little bigger.  I also have my dad's Swiss Army knife in the car and I have utility knives in every toolbox and at every workbench.  I'm never more than a couple feet from a knife - even while sleeping.

Don't ask me what a bunch of women who don't know each other, talk about.

I'm not sure.  I have not been around a large group of women strangers for several decades. My social circles probably are more 1 to 1 most of the time.

For sure, with women cyclists, we will look at each other's bikes and ask casually on something related to one another's cycling. I certainly have. And now have 2 good friends.

I'm curious, why?

why carry a pocketknife?  I use mine daily.  open packages at the office.  Open food wrappers, etc.   I cut stuff for campouts all the time.  When hiking I use it to cut up cheese or meat sticks.   If I was in a wreck, I could use it to cut my seatbelt if needed.

Thanks

I guess I've never come across such a need,

I carry one daily and it’s mainly used as @jsharr notes.  I have never engaged with a blade but nearly put someone down who pulled one on me.  
 Nearly 40 YO Gerber.  Not even sure if Hoffritz is still in business…

It seems my sisters like to talk shit about anyone who isn’t there and if you are a male it doesn’t matter if you are there or not… They’ll talk mad shit to your face and get hostile if you say anything back…

Ok.  I think you're sisters are venting.  I don't think all women are like that. 

With my sisters, it does tend to be direct and honest with one another. Then move on to other stuff.

I used to, but I kept misplacing them at work, or they would fall out when exiting the car and I wouldn’t notice. Got out of the habit. I need to get back in the habit. Can’t tell you how many times one would be handy and I don’t have one.

Nope but my Dad did and we'd always borrow it when we were opening Christmas presents or wanted to open wine when we were traveling.

I have my small multi-tool jack knife in my kitchen drawer.  I might have used it less than 10 times in past 4 decades.

Heck, I even had to use one to cut part of the jeans leg off one time when I had a pile of treated lumber shift in the rain and catch my pants leg. luckily that was all it caught. I was unloading a truck by myself, and most folks had gone for the day. It would have been a long, cold, and wet wait in the mountains of Colorado without my knife.

I don’t carry a knife, I carry a talon. Blade assist open, and easy to close one handed if needed.

This is the o e I keep on me daily, I got three other Typs in my truck at all times.. I honestly don’t think I’ve gone a day without one on me in 20 years.
