Generally I go at least a week before I find a use for a knife. I am very interested in them and even have bought a few nice ones int he past few months, but I just don't see myself spending much more on something I hardly see myself using. I'm not gonna go out of my way to find uses for em just so I can have more stuff in my pockets and go through more hassle at work, airports, with cops etc. At work I use a blade numerous times, but I have a box cutter they gave me that works great for the tasks I do there. If it wasn't for that job though, I'd have very little reason to ever have a pocket knife on me, which is why I don't really have an EDC, just a small folder I bring with me if I'm going somewhere It hink I might need it. Generally though, I end up not needing it at all and it only weighs me down.

It varies depening on whether I am working or not but it seems that I end up using a knife every day.
Today I used it a few times at to cut some plastic straps and remove flaps from boxes. I also used it as a substitute pair of scissors on paper as I often do. I trimmed a loose thread. At home I broke down a couple of boxes for recycling and opened letters. I also cut the middle finger on my left hand. I've cut this finger a number of times and slammed it in a heavy door once. I think that I flipped too many people off with it in a past life.

I cut down several boxes a day... and sometimes I feel silly using my $100+ pocket knife to cut a few pieces of tape holding a box together 
Today I actually put it to good use. One of my cashiers was wearing a new pair of pants and she forgot to cut off the little plastic thing that holds the tags on (she's not too bright)... so I cut those off for her.
The knife left my pocket maybe four times in eight hours at work tonight.

I am a receiving inspector, so I get to open a lot of boxes whilst at work. Also cutting shrink wrap off pallets. I use a Kershaw black Leek for most of this. At home opening mail or boxes containing new knives or flashlights.
Funny thing is that where I work, they have a no weapons policy( which I was told included knives). Practically everyone who works there has a knife clipped to their pocket or on their belt, including my stupervisor and non-leadman. We sit around in the office and sharpen our knives.
Oh Well!!

Usually two to four times a day. Somebody wants to use mine about once a week or so, too.
