“Clean Underwear” Knives (Traditional Only).

I plan on carrying my 2023 forum knife, hopefully, fairly regularly. I would hate to think I could never carry it because it may be stolen if something were to happen to me. It's a level of fear that I do not want controlling my life or what I might carry. Sure, it would really suck if it got stolen. But, it would suck a great deal more to only ever carry something cheap.
 
I hate to mention a sad example. But when my father was taken to the hospital after a stroke, the one thing in his possession that wasn't bagged and returned to the family was a SAK he always carried in his front pocket. I had already rescued his wallet and keys before the paramedics took him. And ER staff did save his wedding ring and watch, and hearing aids. I wondered if the missing SAK had something to do with a 'no knives or weapons' policy in the ER, which was in effect, but never found out for sure and I never saw that SAK again.

So, with that in mind, I'd personally opt for something that won't be too sorely missed after what is already a bad day.

Waking up in hospital, and the surgeon says it was a big job, I had to borrow your M390 knife my scalpel was blunt, the problem is I have some very bad news for you, I hit a couple of bones and put a nick in it.

Wake up in the hospital and the paramedic is standing over you, shaking his head, saying "Bro, do you even sharpen?" Oh, the ignominy of it all.

And then I'd say " normally, but I was too busy having a life threatening medical emergency "

I believe the original premise on the clean underwear thing was that your MOTHER did not want to be judged poorly based on allowing her child to be found with dirty underwear. Had nothing to do with the child's reputation.

To the actual topic - carrying a pocket knife that would not be embarrassing or bring any kind of social disapproval upon you if discovered by others - a Victorinox silver alox Cadet. Looks classy, non-threatening, very much a gentleman's pocket knife. Not terribly rare or expensive, meaning it is less likely to go missing, and if so, not heartbreaking to replace.

Which, coincidentally, is what they would find in my pocket since I carry one every time I go out, either as my only pocket knife, or in addition to anything else I might otherwise be carrying

The best knife to carry is always the knife I have on me....right? Right??
