When I'm out jogging.
I never did find a knife that was light enough and comfortable enough to wear on long runs.

I always have at least one. An interesting thing happened about a month ago. We had to take my three year old to the hospital due to a seizure. While I was there they decided he needed an MRI. They told me I would need to go in with him. The MRI machine is basically A magnet about the size of A compact car. They told me to put all metal items and wallet, watch etc. on the table. The nurses found it A bit unusual when I started pulling out a nimravis cub, lil' 6" custom fixed,and A spyderco Jot Khalsa.plus kubotan and what not.....Related story: off duty officer went through same thing(sort of) anyway, they said his gun would be okay...it was actuaally pulled from the holster and onto the machine, it discharged, no injuries. It took three hours to power the machine down to remove the weapon. I guess you live you learn.

No one has heard the saying, "A well dressed gentleman ALWAYS carries a knife." ??? I checked Barlett's Familiar Quotations and don't find it.
When I was in school we took our knives and spent a lot of time in Jr. High crafts classes having sharpening contests. No one got threatened by that. How schools have changed -- for the worse.
Anyway, I have a Kershaw lockback, stainless that is about 2" closed. It's carried in a leather coin purse along with a spare key and all my change.
My Gerber 2" lockback stainless with a black polymer grip is on a short loop of parachute cord along with my keys.
When I enter the courthouse or the Federal Building both the keys and the coin purse go in the "dish" as I pass through the metal detector. No one has ever commented on either knife. I don't even think about those two knives unless I need to sharpen a pencil, open a package, cut a cord.
Usually I carry some sort of "tactical" or "work" knife. The knife is ALWAYS available when I'm sleeping -- but then so are several handguns, a riot shotgun and a semi-auto assault rifle. The knife wouldn't be my first choice for defense. We have a concealed carry law here in Oregon. Most of the time I carry a .357 magnum snubby.
Machetes in the truck, a 30" and an 18" -- along with a folding Sven Saw. Is a Sven Saw a sort of serrated blade knife?
Sometimes when swimming I have a Gerber River Shorty.
No knife in the shower, but we live in a really sedate suburban neighborhood with virtually no crime. And the guns are just across the hall. (We have a shower curtain that we can see through, not planned, it just works out that way.)
Locker room . . . knife is in the locker.

I always have a knife with me. Like richard, I have a zytel knife that sits concealed on the top ledge of my shower. During sex I keep on one sock and keep my small Sebenza clipped to it. The chicks love it
Seriously though, even during bedroom fun there are a ton of knives at arms reach.

Much like almost everyone else here, I pretty much don't haveone on me while in the bath and while asleep. When I go to jury duty and to any govt building with a metal detector, I leave the one-handers (my Spyderco Delica or Benchmade Leopard) in the truck, and bring my SAK Soldier with me.

HUM?!? Showers seem to be the knifeless-est place in the home... it's not a legal issue, but an issue of practicality... neck knife cords can be dangerous, folders are out...
I think there may be a market for a butt sheath... something sleek that two clenched butt cheeks can hold nice and tight... a little flesh coloured concealex...
Gives a new meaning to "Crack Kills"
Well, the challenge is out there... makers, on your mark...
