Yup, Whatever I decide to carry stays with me all day. I set it on my dresser or night stand when I go to bed and pick it back up in the morning.
 
Why would I carry a knife at home, when I have knives lying all over the house, waiting to be picked up and used? :D

Insofar as a carry knives, anyway, I carry them in my handbag, like a proper lady. I always have a Victorinox Classic SD on my bedside table (actually goes over my bed), because that's what I use to trim my nails and callouses. And in my EDC kit in my handbag is always a Victorinox Rambler, plus usually my Gerber AirFrame. My handbag always sits next to my bed when I am at home, and when I am at home, I am most often in bed, because my house is cold, I work from home, and all the computers are in my bedroom, the warmest room in the house. If I'm not in bed, then I'm in the bathroom, where I don't need a knife, or I'm in the kitchen, which is stocked with a whole set of Henckels Five-Stars and a Stanley utility knife for opening packages, among others.
 
If I've come home from being out, I'll leave my knife in my pocket of course. If I'm in my sweatpants/pajamas I won't, but there is a knife on the end table next to my spot on the couch.

Always. Always. Always. Have a knife (multiples) on me. If I’m sleeping there is one by the bedside table. If I’m showering, multiple within arms reach. If having sex…….. well, never mind don’t do that anymore. 🤪

Don’t let bathroom activities lull you into a false sense of security.

Funny bathroom story: one bright spring morning, I’m sitting on the throne when I hear the pet door flap. No big deal, my pets go in and out all the time, but this time it’s followed by a bunch of squeaking. The big black cat enters the bathroom carrying a large rat (neighbor keeps livestock and poultry, rats come in after the grain).

This rat is squirming around, and I just know that as soon as the cat lets him go, he’s gonna bolt for under the laundry machines or behind the water heater. The bathroom pistol is a .22 (so small hole) but the bathroom itself is small and even a .22 will be loud and startle the cat, so I draw the bathroom knife (a 6” green river skinner). The cat drops the rat, I lean over and decapitate it, cat gives it a sniff, shrugs, turns around and trots off.

I didn’t have a rug in there at the time, so the blood wiped up easily. Little nick in the vinyl flooring, I can live with that. Few minutes later all the evidence is gone, and the neighbor’s grain bin is permanently one rat lighter. Pwobwem sowved.

Ya just never know what’s comin’ for ya.

No knife in bathroom and here's why:

I train every cat I get to bring their prey into the bathtub. Seriously! I had a barn cat (Grendel) about twenty years ago who would bring his not-yet-dead into the house and put them into the bathtub where he could play and eat without them escaping. Besides never losing prey underneath appliances, cleanup was a snap. Gophers, voles, mice, birds, and full grown rabbits all went into the tub. I decided this was the way to go.

After Grendel passed, I got a kitten from a neighbor. I trapped mice for Maximus, brought them to the tub, put him in there, and when he tried to jump out with the mouse, put him back in. Eventually he learned to kill and eat what I brought him and after we allowed him outdoors, he brought all his prey to the tub where he batted them around, killed them, ate them, left a smear of blood and guts, and loudly meowed, "Are you not entertained?"

Now on the third cat, Bagheera came from the pound and she got the same treatment. She is more adventurous, sometimes using other tubs, sinks, or showers as her arenas, but with the same results.

Oh, yeah, it's a horse farm, so I always have a knife on me.
