What Knife/Knives Would You Carry in Perfect Peacetime?

Oh what a dream! In that kind of world I'd also have some new toys that are in this list

I'd be some odd looking fellow:
CF ladybug in my keychain, CF Dragonfly, One 7 cm serrated folder, one 7-10 cm plain folder, Swisstool, 10-12 cm Tommi puukko or H.Rosellis Wootz 'Nikkari'-puukko or 5 inch Randall #3 with stag handles of course I'd have all these, AND 20-25 chef's knife in a custom sheat.

You know, I probably wouldn't change much. I already carry openly and own what I want.

Mostly more expensive ($150 and up) fixed blades in the 7-10" range. Maybe a dagger as well.
 
I would be happy to carry what I always do, my Leatherman Supertool. For actual cutting ... real peace? No one would mind? My BM Emerson.

I like to carry a CS Vaquero Grande in the woods, but that gets the occasional worried look, so generally, I just trim the thorns and vines that get in my way with a Kershaw serrated Talon.

What's the deal with big fixed blades? Do you guys wear suspenders or just cinch your belts real tight? I could see strolling around with my SRK, but I would need to get the Kydex sheath for it.

Peace!
 
I'd probably ditch all my folders except one or two that I REALLY like. Actually, I wouldn't ditch them, probably just put them up. Otherwise, I'd probably carry the same knives, just more openly. I'd definitely quite hassling with these stupid IWB contraptions!!!

Bottom line. Daily would be one (maybet two) fixed blade(s) in the 3 to 4.5 inch range, one small folder like the Native or Standard, and that'd pretty much be it.

Same things I carry now, David Boye custom drop point hunter or Black Cloud Knives 4" custom drop point, or Nimravus Cub (I like it a lot!). Mad Dog Arizona Hunter in the woods, bring along the 9" Mad Dog Bayou Hunter for extended back country stays.

More interesting might be the things I wouldn't carry any longer, like the Black Cloud dagger, KerUUK, or Sharktooth. I probably wouldn't pack the Crawford Knives Carnivore, or the Sifu much anymore either.
 
I'd carry a Busse Battle Mistress in a tactical inverted small of the back sheath, a Mad Dog Shrike and 2 Commanders and an Emerson Rhino, all of which would have black blades and all black hardware.

Actually, in perfect peace time, I wouldn't be able to profiteer, so I would not be able to afford a Sebenza...so it would be what I carry now, I Cold Steel Voyager and a Strider WP.

The same thing I carry now. Well maybe a nice fixed blade instead of one of my folders.

Blades
 
In perfect peacetime, I would carry the same knives as I do now, only wherever I wish to (ie: on airplanes, in courtrooms, in abandoned jails

).

Well...I might also pick up a cool little auto like the Benchmade 3550bt to play with

You could put nacho cheese sauce on it...
 
In perfect peacetime, noone would be alarmed
by anything I might carry, so I could openly carry my anything in my collection, whereas now I would probably be arrested. First, out comes the big Wally Hayes Camp Knife. Strap that one on my back. Next, a Busse BM on my side, a Polkowski Scorp in the vest, a Nealy around the neck and an Elishewitz in the pocket. Why? Hey, some people wear rings, some wear necklaces - you can't cut anything with a ring, or admire the temperline.
Seriously?
Probably would carry one straight knife and one folder. I prefer straight knives for all purposes but in a less than perfect world they do risk legal complications.
 
I'd carry whatever struck my fancy on any given day.

The thorn stands to defend the Rose, yet it is peaceful and does not seek conflict
 
My ATS-34, BT2 coated, 50/50, Benchmade Stryker, never leave home without it.
 
Perfect peacetime, never have to worry of
a mugger infront or behind me that will
require a quick-draw tactical knife, then
the knife I will carry is for show-off.
