Need your help

I normally cary knives with blade lengths ranging from 2" to 4", usually more than one.

I use my knives for anything that needs cutting because cutting is more elegant than ripping. The things I have done this week with knives that come to mind first were to:
* open packages (the plastic "clam shell" types)
* cut off the plastic wrapped metal wires that hold toys in place in packaging (barbie horses)
* prune back some flowers in the yard
* impress a few friends with the beauty of abalone handles on an exceptionally well made knife
* cut leather exactly to size
* remove wrapping and tags from new hats and drums
* replace the string in a gas powered string trimmer that had become tangled inside
* trim and shape twigs into skewers for cooking marshmallows
* cleanly remove a hangnail
* cut a burr out of my dog's fur

I started carying my first knife when I was 7 years old.

Best wishes, Sal.

do the people who use their knife to open boxes and cut food? Do you clean your knife before you cut your food? You might sick if you don't.

I carry a knife about 3.5.

I just carry it for fun.

Started carrying when I'm 16.
