The pocket knife I had when I was 10 is just a stub of what it was new. I carry a icy Buck. They don’t even make his model any longer. My favorite knife.
My pocket knife sits in the tool box. I always end up using a key like a saw when i need it. Maybe i’ll start carrying it when the phone unlocks everything.
Not only did I carry it I took it to school hanging from a loop on my belt and no one batted an eyelash. Knife safety was taught and learned early in Cub Scouts.
My first and second pocket knives were lost. I used a string of cheap ones until last year. Then I really splurged. Birdseye maple scales, Damascus steel blade. A working work of art.
Uh, a trusty favorite knife? Which grandpa gave me? Well, It would be illegal now, with 11 inch blade and Kauhava handle it is a ridiculous thing. And I was 6! And I still have it and do respect it, because of heritage.
I still dont have my rifle my grandpa made for me when I was 11, a .22 sniper rifle, with I learned to shoot founds. Back then in 60’s no one wondered small caliber firearm dings. My grandpa was a chief in arms factory, I recollect we had some 30 rifles and 10 handgunds in cabinet.
Husband has bought several new replacement knives over the decades.
I still have my Barlow knife that I got to take with me to Girl Scout camp. My parents were extremely right that I would NOT like being there and I wrote a letter daily to them asking them to come and get me – and to my sister telling her to tell them to come and get me – but I do still have the knife. I was rather impressed it being a Barlow as in “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” he described his knife as “as a sure enough Barlow”.

They don’t make them like they used to.

Hopefully that plugger’s father taught him to carry a first aid kit too in case of a whittling accident to his hand.

I think the Boy Scout Manual I had in the ’50s is banned.

Always carry a pocket knife … Always carry a pen (Hard to write without one) ;-)

I still have the pen knife my father gave me when I became a Girl Guide.

How many people are freaking out right now that a dad gave a 10-year-old kid a knife?

If you can’t sharpen your own pocket knife you don’t need to carry one.

I still have my Dad’s knives and one from my Uncle.

I’m not sure what became of my Cub Scout and Boy Scout knives. These days my go-to knife is a Swiss Army Deluxe Tinker.

Just leave it in the car before going through TSA lines. Just to be safe, eh?

Gibbs Rule #9 – Never go anywhere without a knife. (I always carry the Buck “Stockman” I got for graduation.)

Just two things we like about Switzerland, the army knife, and…their flag is considered a big plus.

I wish I had kept mine.

Growing up every adult man I knew carried a knife. I still do, however my made in the USA Official BSA knife has been retired.

Ah, can’t say I still have mine, but I’m loving this. Miss you, dad.

This assumes that the TSA hasn’t stolen your knife.

I always carry a “pocket knife” and usually keep a spare one in my “glove box”
