Ad interesting thought comes to mind when reading this thread. When you carry a knife, do you regard it primarily as a tool or a weapon?
This came to mind as I was reading the variety of blades that some people carry. I have three knives that I carry, one more regularly than the others. However, I think I will try to get down to carrying one knife regularly and leave the others in the drawer.
Why? Because if I need to use that knife as a weapon, then I better be able to open it under stress and the best way to ensure that is to carry the same blade consistently so I am 100% used to that knife when it comes out of my pocket.
Anyway, this is a somewhat incomplete thought and perhaps a bit off topic. But just my .
knives ARE tools. a very flexable tool.
then again, i would kill someone with a pixie stick if i had to to defend my life or others, if i had to.
