I never leave home without one of my USA made pocket knives.

There are a few things a man should never be without....A decent watch, good leather boots, belt and wallet and a well made knife.

Why is it that a newbie is always gonna resurrect a new thread? Ah, forget it. Already know why. I keep a Leatherman in my truck as well as one in the saddlebag of both bikes. A knife has rarely helped me with any kind of repairs. Just pulled the Supertool (original over 25 years old) out of my glovebox today and yet again, saved the day.

Pocket knife?

Used to always carry a smaller knife, till Texas made it legal to carry pretty much what you want. I have many knives. My buddy made this for me 21 yrs ago and hammered it out in his home forge. Has Elk antler handle....

Soon as the laws changed it went on my hip....

If I'm working around my house or property, I might carry a pocket knife. It just depends what I'll be doing that day.

Carry a knife on my bike? Probably not. The only way one is in my pocket is if it's left over from previous work. If I need a tool to fix something on my bike, I carry a basic set of tools in my saddlebags including things I might need for flat tire repair including an air pump. I just don't see it as being necessary to carry a knife while on my bike. It serves no useful purpose.

Otherwise I have knives with blades as small as 2.25 inches and as long as 36 inches. I suppose the longer ones could be called swords.

Ressurect a new thread? Better than starting a new one I guess. Also, if you meant “ressurect an old thread”, this one is only 5 months old. Not like some of the 5+ year threads that get brought back with no new info.

Lol, yeah.
It's a painfully and thinly disguised attempt to pawn his 300 dollar knife. He's a freakin' SALESMAN for the company and is surfing thw web looking for places he can slip in how awesome his knife is. All with a link to it what it costs and how to buy it. Shameless crap.

By chance, does your close friend live in China?
