toothpaste is a nasty tasting useless "modern" invention thing that causes excess tonnage, and holey teeths.
(our ancestors 200+ years ago didn't have it. They still had their OEM teeth - usually without holes.)
While enough knives carried simeltaniously may result in excess poundage, (much less poundage (or tonnage) than "toothpaste", however.) A knife (or knives) are useful and necessary in daily "life" ... for meat and tater/turnip eaters, at any rate ... be they young and hale, or like I, old, wore out, and decrepit.
A knife or knives are also quite ... "handy" ... for some recreational activities, such as whittlin' a caged ball, or a tent stake, chain ... with or without an attached ball, feather sticks, tree spirits/gnomes/trolls, or a sharp point on one end of a pencil ... and so on.
Admittedly, one might be able to get the same results whittlin' using their finger/tow nails, and teeth, but a knife (or knives) makes it so much easier ... and enjoyable.
"In my day" a "he" person was more likely to forget his britches, along with house and car and/or motorcycle or (keyed) bicycle lock(s) keys (locking himself out of the house if he has auto locks) than his pocket knife.
At my last doctor appointment we thought it would be fun to weigh my Duluth Tading Foreman Pants with all my gear in them. IT WAS 5lbs!!
We had so much fun in Myrtle Beach for a week in 2011 when taking my oldest daughter to look at universities, and we took a detour after visiting Duke University a few hours away.
