Which of my knives should I not carry on me?

[Drop bear]

Also I'm trying to envision what type of SHTF scenario would hit where I am that I would be needing to pass out knives.

11 knives on you? You need these, there's no use carrying the full 11 knives without a sharpening solution close at foot.

Not really a matter of weight.......
Concerning police......... in Pittsburgh the are generally fine with someone carrying a knife. Although carrying 5 knives will not seem logical especially if you can't give a reasonable answer why.

Yeah that's a funny movie, but I'm seriously trying to think of a scenario in the DC area that would require me to immediately turn around to random strangers and go "a knife for you, and for you, oh and one for you. Everyone's getting knives!" Like I'm some sort of cutlery Oprah.

I would technically survive the apocalypse with a Swiss army knife.

I definitely go the specialist knife. But I understand that it is a quirk one part rather than justify it.

And look one of the things I have been doing is bush glam cooking. And I have a dedicated cleaver sort of thing and a hundred year old axe for that. And I feel badass out there cutting potatoes with it over an open fire.

But I don't need it.

This would be a boring hobby if all one cared about was need.

They actually ask you how many knives that you have on you? Man, I'm glad that I live in Texas.

The most important question you should ask yourself is:

Do you enjoy carry those knives, or is it a burden?
Toss everything that is a burden, keep anything that you enjoy.

Your needs will change over time, you'll wrap your head around another knife so you'll carry sometimes more, sometimes less.

Someone way more intelligent than me once said: If you enjoy wasting your time, it actually isn't wasted. That was quite an eye opener then...

This reminds me of the scene from Lord of the Rings where the elves capture the Dwarfs, and when searching them, find that they each carry about 20 knives, lol.

This is the way you should not carry in your everyday life ! (for so many reasons...)
