pocket knife?

I like "box cutter" knives. I am lousy at sharpening knives, and worse at keeping them that way. Have also lost every knife I've ever bought, and usually don't take too long to do it. But I do use them enough to need something around.

 

I'm right there with you (and guns)

Just picked up a Benchmade Infadel and a stagecoach side-by-side last Saturday

 

LOL, well I am nominated to be the armory around my area for the zombie invasion.

When I moved down here I had a 8x14 Uhaul trailer loaded, literally.

 

As long as it does the job, picked up a box full of the folding box cutters with real nice no slip grips. Paid like 25 cents each at Target in the got to go row.

 

I carry a S & W Extreme Ops.

 

A folding knife is legal in all states. It's when you get into the fixed blade knives that you have problems. Besides, a pocket knife should be just that, a knife that fits into your pocket.... Not a Rambo edition k-bar

 

Most states have a 3 inch limit or around there and it cannot be spring loaded. I have an awesome Benchmade knife (black series) that is spring loaded and I cannot carry it because its considered a 'switch blade'. I find it funny I can carry a gun, but not a freaking knife. Go figure.

 

A "spring assisted" and an "automatic" are two completely different things. I have both but leave the automatic at home and only carry my "assisted" with me. I've had it during DOT inspections, traffic stops and once at a border patrol inspection where they had me empty my pockets. Never a word said..... Now if u have an automatic, that opens with a button/trigger then the guy who sold you that is in more trouble because you have to be LEO or military to buy one.

 

I carry a matte finish Spyderco Bird and a leatherman multi on me every day, no matter what. Even in a suit and tie, they are both on me, I have a stainless byrd clipped to my pocket and the leatherman in my pocket. They are better than my AMEX card.
