The truck collections!

I have a 'CAT' branded multi-tool that a friend gave me to keep in my truck.

Otherwise, I don't keep knives stashed in various places, but I always have my Vic Waiter in my pocket.

The only time I am without that knife is in the shower and anywhere knives are searched for and not allowed.
 
I keep my D2 Ontario Rat in the console. I figure that knife can take just as much abuse as any other knife, and if it can’t; oh well lol… that and a Kershaw Leek for more detail work.
Basically nothing special in case it gets stolen, etc… plus, if I’m out and that’s all I have on me, I don’t want to worry about having to baby a “good” knife, aka Expensive.
But the D2 on that Rat has been quite surprising in a good way. Before it was my truck knife, I carried it for a while. Best, maybe the toughest & most slicey, budget knife under $50 IMO

I noticed a lot of you worried about theft. Do yall live in New Orleans too?? 😳 That’s certainly the reason I keep the opinels and the buck in my truck because I wouldn’t be crushed if they got stolen. I do take the risk with the little native cause I love to fidget with it when I’m driving. It helps me from smoking in the truck. But I do have a little hiding place for it and also got a deal on it here on blade forumns but it would hurt to lose it.

Thanks to ya’ll, I’m now in the market for a fixed blade to keep in the truck.

For me, the more likely scenario is that I could lose it lol or I let someone borrow it and they lose it or do something stupid with it.

I do leave the car unlocked if I’m just running in the store tho…. But if I had a $300 knife (or anything that valuable) sitting in the console, I wouldn’t want to do that.
 
Interesting question. In Massachusetts, USA, the carry laws apply to your person and your vehicle. So I just keep something compliant in the glove box- in my case, a Buck Bantom 286.
Having no knife restrictions in Louisiana (at least that I know of) really make it hard to consider not being able to own or carry any knife you want at the moment. Sorry to say but it must really suck for a knife enthusiasts. I really don’t even think to consider it when bringing a knife with me when traveling. Maybe I should, it’s kind of like walking out of a bar with a beer and quickly being reprimanded. Literally called back in the bar by staff. I don’t do it on purpose it’s just so natural and normal for me.

One question I have is it ok to own any knife but just not carry? And isn’t the vehicle an extension of the home?

Here in MA, the vehicle is an extension of the person, if you've left the home. At home, we can own any knife (I believe). Interesting how much things vary by state.
 
Here’s what I came up with after a little digging:

Woodsman’s Pal
Spyderco K2 because it’s always on me
KaBar Dozier I’m giving to an employee
Viper BlafeForums 2020 knife that I essentially forgot about since receiving it in the mail.
Spyderco DogTag is my most recent purchase, hasn’t made the trip inside yet.

That looks like a very purpose driven collection! Very nice!
 
I keep a Leatherman Sidekick in the Peterbilt along with a mossy oak brand Walmart hunting knife complete with fake stag handle. Gift from ex father in law so if it grows legs and walks off no big loss. I keep a 180 or 220 grit edge on the fixed blade and probly 400 on the Leatherman knife blade.
