a few weeks ago i was suddenly very uncomfortable and BAM! i realized i didnt have a knife on me.I always have a knife,always.Except for that one instance.I keep one within arms length at all times.call it paranoia.

SO,the question.when do you not have a knife?do you always have one?do you feel like i do when you dont have one?well,lets hear it!
 
They only place I don't have one is at school (and the occasional airport), I can get into big trouble there. What is cool is that my school's blade limit is 3" for a fixed blade and 3.5" for any other kind of knife!!

If I ever forget my knives (or have to go somewhere directly from school) I pretty much feel "naked", it is not a good feeling to be without my knives.

Let's see. I don't have one on me in the shower or when I'm asleep.
Yes, I feel naked without a knife. I NEVER make it out the door without one. Got a little thing I do where I pat myself down when I get done dressing (it's a habit so it's automatic)- keys, knife, wallet, kubotan. The keys are kind of hard to forget anyway, 'cause you won't get far without them.
 
Well, I did have on operation once...

Well, there's about 20 knives on my bedside table, so I guess asleep doesn't count. That leaves the shower and the gym (unless I'm travelling -- then I'm probably wearing a neck wallet while training and have my Spydercard).

Well, I have one of those synthetic (zytel maybe?) knives in a kydex sheath from Newt Livesay. It hangs in the shower, so I guess I can say that I am never without a knife. I also keep a knife in each car, in case I happen to leave the house without one.

Geeze. I always have a knife. I keep a multi-tool instead at school though, because having a knife or pocket knife could get me in serious trouble. I even have a knife in the shower. Sometimes when your knife gets dirty, it needs a shower, so I just drag it in the shower with me and put it on the soap holder where it gets a good rinsing.

When I leave the house I take a knife. Other than that there are so many knives lying around the house and shop I don't worry about carrying one.

I don't sleep with a knife on me(it's sitting on the nightstand within arms reach)
and I haven't taken a shower with one yet.
That is about it.

The other day I saw the movie, Final Destination. There's a scene where the soon_to_be_a_victim guy falls in his bathroom & finally ends up hanging on the cord wrapped around his neck & the bathtub is too sleepery for him to stand. Obviously he tragically dies, since this was a horror movie

During the whole scene, that BTW lasted 5-6 minutes, I was thinking how usefull it'd be for the poor guy to have at least a SAK wither on him or somewhere close hanging on the wall...

Wanna know why?....Several years ago, my wife and I lived in the city. There was a thing on the news, a sudden home invasion. The residents of the house were watching television in the middle of a sunday afternoon (I believe it was sunday). Anyways, two dirt bags kicked the door in, beat the occupants to a pulp, tied them up, and robbed them.

So, Mr Know-it-all...do you think they may have been safer in the shower??

The point is, even though you are generally safe in your home, violence can, and does, happen when you least expect it. The bad guys aint gonna wait until you are fully dressed and armed at your convinience. Any other questions?

When I was still in school I didn't carry one because they have a zero tolerance rule, one offense means expulsion. Then I got a Utilikey

At my house or my girlfriend's house, a knife is within reaching distance while I sleep. If I ever sleep anywhere else, a knife is on me. Sometimes there will be one around in the shower, depends. All other times, yes.

Airport!

I have a carbon fiber neck knife specifically for airports! But, glad that I didn't have it during a recent trip.....

In short, went thru the detectors (at a international airport) and the bells and whistles went off. Emptied everything and it still went off. On the 4th attempt I was "escorted" to a near by room. A thorough pat down reveiled a stick of gum in my wind breaker jacket. Jesus! Talk about sensitive!
