I have a Swiss army knife but don't carry it around. The closest thing is my keychain-weapon thingy (like acrylic (not brass) knuckles and a very large jagged key that could also do some damage if I was close enough.

Le Pradel Fat Carbon Lava ~ Handmade in Thiers France

The Pradel by Fontenille Pataud is an interpretation of a knife popular in the West of France at the beginning of the 20th century. Its discreet lock-back system allows use of this folding knife in total safety.

Hand knapped by Tony Stanfield out of White City Oregon.

Midnight Lace and Red Obsidian Bowie Knife with Black Tail Deer Antler Handle
Dragon Glass Gray Obsidian Arrowhead Necklace with Deer Antler Mount

While both are sharp, they are more decorative in modern times than practical for daily use.
The Obsidian is much too brittle compared to steel.
Although tiny Obsidian chips are used in eye surgery.
That's because Obsidian can be much MUCH sharper than steel can be.
Kinda like glass shards.

Ladies....A rat-tail comb is good for eye gouging if attacked.

If your name is Earl, I may have found your pocket knife ...
Wednesday evening with this little Sears Craftsman penknife from 70's to 80's era.
Based on the way carved into the Delrin handle material, I might guess Earl's last name began with an "L" ... dunno
Made for Sears on contract with Imperial/Schrade. Camillus also made pocket knives for Sears.
Steel is 1095 carbon steel.

When working as a land surveyor, back in the 50's, I carried a small pocketknife to sharpen my note-taking pencils. Carried one ever since.

Yikes! I was heading down to visit with our kids this week-end but I think I'll away from Connecticut. Although I wasn't actually planning on attacking anybody.

I hope you'll have a good time here. Oh, watch out for black bears!

I was just today and yesterday thinking about pocket knives, as
I was talking with someone about the quality of some of them,
and what many like and prefer. I remembered your thread from
long ago @ Naturally..

I've carried a pocket knife of some sort since I was about 10 years old. Mostly some type of Swiss army knife. Lately its a Buck 301 3 blade knife which I'm thinking of changing back to a Swiss. This one just seems a bit big to have in my pocket and definitely won't fit in my watch pocket that I always had the Swiss in.
I never got into the Swiss with a whole bunch of blades.
