I started carrying my dads pocket knife about second grade. Dad got tired of not haveing it so he got me an inexpensive pocket knife. Wish i still had it.I now carry between 3 1/4 inch blade to 5 1/4 inch. I use it for generel utility.

 

[calyth]

1. Rotation of Calypso/Native/Starmate so I tend to carry 3" blade most often.
2. Utility purposes, boxes, letters, that sort of thing, and yeah friends know I have one on me and ask me to cut things.
3. 18yo. it's either legal age or a year before, I can't really tell anymore.

Good luck at the court case. Hope those lawyers don't try something stupid. :barf: :barf: :barf:

Best of luck to you Sal.

My primary folder is right at 4", and I usually have another folder and a fixed blade in the 3.5"-4" range.

Normal uses are general utility, cutting boxes, opening mail, cutting food, etc.

I started carrying knives around 7-8, and carried an EDC since about 14.

 

[Knife Outlet]

My preference is for a 3" blade.
I use it as a general cutting tool, primarily for opening packages
I have carried a knife since the age of 10.

Take care.

Need your help:

I’m involved in a court case. I’m sorry, I cannot give detailed information. I would like to know:

1. What size (blade length) knife do you normally carry?

About 3.5" when not going into my federal office. When I am going to my federal office in Washington, DC, I comply with the law and carry something with a blade of less than 2.5" (See 18USC930 for details on this law.)

2. What do you use your knife for?

General utility such as opening envelopes and packages, picking out splinters and staples, cutting bagels, etc.

3. At what age did you begin carrying a knife?

Just over 7 years old. My brother gave me his old Barlow when he received the first Swiss Army knife that any of us had ever seen for Christmas, 1949. My 7th birthday had been on December 3, 1949.

Thanx much for your help.

Hope that it was of some help to you.

I rotate quite a bit. My EDC ranges from a Spyderco Meerkat to Cuda Maxx 5.5. I prefer 3+ blade like the Spyderco Police in my pocket right now. But it depends on where I'll be that day.

I mostly use it for cutting plastic straps from boxes of paper(I work in a print shop). But I also use it for cutting plastic packages open, slicing fruit/veg, rope,etc

I starting carring a knife regularly at 12-13.

I hope this helps
