Need your help

I use aprox 3 inch folders, slipjoints or lockbacks in daily use.

Utility and poodpreparing (from taking care of the animal or fich in the nature to the plate.

Started carry EDC at 7-8 years old 30 years ago.
 
Usually carry one multitool/SAK plus one folder, with blade lengths on both in the 2.5" to 3" range. Occasionally 4" if the job calls for it.

Work use - Cutting paper, tape, labels, zip ties, and product packaging. Trimming excess material off plastic parts. Opening boxes. Fixing equipment.

Home use - Opening food packages and letters, breaking down recycling, household repair, yardwork such as digging weeds. Hiking and other outdoor activities. Emergency preparedness.

Got my first pocket knife about age 7, started carrying one regularly about age 8.
 
Gee, hope I'm not too late :eek:

1) I carry a 3" folder/Paramilitary

2) Used for general utility - opening boxes/Mail, cutting boxes, rope, fruit. Whatever is needed throughout the day.

3) Started carrying at about 8 or 9, but don't tell mom!
 
1. I generally carry a folder in the 3 to 3.5" range, sometimes 4".

2. Used for utility/general purpose.

3. Started carrying a knife regularly as a boy (Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts), fell
out of the habit for quite awhile after that, and started carrying again in
my 20's.

Good Luck!

1. 3-4" blade.

2. Utility,cutting whatever I need to cut during the day- loose threads, open boxes, prepare food, etc.

3. Around age 8.
 
When I started making fixed blade knives, I stopped carrying folders. My EDC is a 3 3/4' slight trailing point fixed blade, sort of like the old Schrade sharp finger, in S30V. OAL is 8".

I use it for everything from opening letters and boxes, to food prep, to cutting anything that needs it.

I received my first knife as a 6th birthday present. It was the old boy scout knife with the fork and spoon, etc. I have never been without a knife since. The only person I have ever cut was myself and that was always by accident.
