251396 Andrew Baughn <badandy@m...> 2014‑10‑26 Re: Pocket Knives - Derived from Honing OilThread
I usually carry four little ones, two on the key ring, one in my pocket and one
in my wallet. If I am hunting then two more in my coat. A lot of times I wear my
neck knife and also carry a Benchmade AFCK or Cold Steel sliding tanto. When I
visit family I take my kukri machete in case of disagreements. Actually it is
because my dad usually has some yard work waiting for me. My house has various
knives stashed all about in most rooms.

At a pork expo once with friends in college a lady gave my roommate and me each
a pencil. She said 'if you only knew someone who had a knife you could sharpen
that' we both just laughed and thanked her.
