What would you take?

When I was on tour we played some big venues in all the big cities and small towns as well. and I always carried an old Remington Jack knife or a old Case Loom fixer. I never
had any problems. I was with Kid Rock on his bus and we got pulled over and searched and they saw my knife and didn't say anything. I don't think there's anything to worry about! Carry
whatever you want...imho. Good luck on tour, Taken it all in and enjoy every minute of it bro...

I'd recommend anything with two blades & less than 3" cutting edge - like the infamous Peanut or may a Trapper jr
 
How about a russlock with a spear blade. Locks tight, slipjoint, and a good conversational knife....good history. I think i'd go great on tour.

erm, the russlock isn't a slippy. it has a linerlock.
Another idea- the lowly Svord peasant knife.

Actually it is a slipjoint - just with an added lock (which functions more as a "safety" in this instance than as a traditional linerlock).;)


I'll echo what some of the others have said and go with a small/med pen, jack or stockman. Of course one of the smaller SAKs wouldn't be a bad choice either come to think of it.
 
Yes, the Russlock is a slipjoint + safety, as mentioned. The locking liner could be disabled or removed, and all the components of a traditional slipjoint would remain, including a backspring, which functions by itself to keep the blade open or closed. In fact, on mine, the backspring itself is what holds the blade open, under tension. The lock on mine actually leaves a little gap between itself and the blade tang, so it's not even touching. Doesn't exert any pressure at all, to keep the blade open. It's there simply to block the blade from accidental closing. The locking liner is literally another 'layer' sandwiched into a traditional slipjoint, on this knife.
