Which leads to an assumption that virtually everyone here carries a 
pocket knife of some sort.  I have more than I want SWMBO to know about 
(I never let more than 2 gather in the same place), including a Barlow 
2-blade given to me by my Dad ca. 1949-50 when I was 7 years old.

I carried gentlemen's Boker Tree brand smallish knives for many years, 
loading the current favorite into my pocket each day just as I did my 
wallet, a handkerchief, and whatever (very small amount) cash I was 
given by 'er indoors.  Now that I've retired, I carry a much bigger and 
more useful knife that is equal to every task I've asked of it for the 
last several years.  It is a Kershaw, assisted-opening single blade of 
~4".  I like it because I can open and close it with one hand.  It came 
pretty sharp, but I've touched it up a time or two.  The Kershaw folks 
sell it with a lifetime sharpening offer, but I haven't wanted to do 
without it for as long as that would take.

How about you folks?

What pocket knife do you carry every day?

Anyone here who doesn't carry one?

Anyone ever had to leave theirs with the thugs at the airport?
