First REAL knife

DrThunder88 said:
The MSP website seems to indicate blades longer than three inches are not prohibited unless the user intends to do harm to someone with it. It looks like a tack-on charge to me unless the officer can otherwise establish probable cause that the person doing the carrying was intent on using it in a crime.

True, you CAN carry a longer knife, but then you're subject to the officer's thoughts on your intent. With a law like this in place, why not go with less then 3 inch and avoid having to justify your tool? Seems like one more way to make life easier, and most regular work tasks don't require any longer a blade(some do, but not any I've had to do for work).
 
Spyderco Salt. The FRN is not a plastic that gets brittle in cold
The hole works well for gloves, its yellow. Fully serrated works for quick and dirty tasks.
 
I open lots of paper boxes where I work and they furnish box cutters. I won't touch one of them with a 10 foot pole. They are just made trashy and I don't like using them. I carry a Benchmade Skirmish. Sharpen it every couple of weeks. It is fun to use and I can open and close it with one hand. I am lucky that in Texas the blade only has to be no longer than 5 1/2 inches. I use a sharp maker and although the knife has been sharpened many times you can't see any wear on the blade.
 
If you are buying your own I'd recommend a 'Superknife', see Superknives.com for the range. You can get a rubberised handle that would be easy to use with gloves, they come with pocket/belt clips and actually fold.
Then with the money you save you can buy yourself a nice pocket knife that you won't have to trash.

Spyderco Yojimbo - its a boxcutter on roids. For stripping plastic wrap, slicing open boxes, cutting through strapping, delicate cuts where a sharp pointy tip are imperitive - I have found the Yojimbo is the perfect knife. I think the blade is around the 3" mark. Large spydie hole makes it easy to open with gloves, which you probably would be wearing in freezer rooms.
 
I hate to do this, but if your looking for something to cut wrapping off of boxes and pallets...get a box cutter.
