I don't really understand or relate to this thread. Foreign to me.

You'd be surprised how often having a knife on you comes in handy.

I should clarify. I doubt that I would be surprised how often it would be handy for me. I have never had a moment where I wished I had a knife. It may be different for others. I'm not criticizing, even it seems I am. Personally speaking, I can't even imagine carrying a knife as an every day carry.

Yeah, I guess my point is...that you don't really realize how often it might come in handy until you have one on you all the time. I just started carrying one maybe a year ago and it's been nice having it on me when I need it (pretty much any situation where you'd need to go grab a pair of scissors or a knife). Need to open a blister pack that's being a pain in the ass? Just got a package from Amazon and want to cut the tape on the box? Cut some random piece of string or rope for whatever reason? Maybe a piece of fruit? I'm not saying that these kind of situations happen all the time, but every day uses do pop up. I originally bought it for fishing, then for whatever reason started carrying it every day.
Tl;dr nice to have when you need it

The only 'reality show' I watch. Also makes me have second thoughts about my career choice.

Knives on your person are as useful as carrying a timepiece of whatever sort. Sure you can get by without one, but it's one of those tools that you constantly use if you are aware of it.

Yep. This is pretty much what I was trying to convey. The one I carry is really slim so I rarely notice it's even there, and the blade can be deployed very easily and quickly with one hand. Just a little pressure applied to the finger thing (not sure what the technical name is for it) and the satisfying "snick" of the blade popping open follows.

I carry sharp things while I am working, because I know I will need them. At home, a sharp instrument is easy to find. I don't see the need, again, for me, to carry one at all times, out to dinner, shopping, etc.
If I'm going camping, or other plans where a knife could be handy, yeah. I guess it was the everyday carry thing that caught my attention. Full disclosure, I have a sharpening tool on my key chain, and it can easily be used to open a box, or whatnot. So, never mind my Canadian ways.
I haven't worn a watch since I was about 14.

I would definitely want him on my side. The bladesmiths eyes light up when he starts eviscerating dummies with the weapons they made. Weapons the bladesmiths made, not the dummies.

I don't always carry mine. Maybe 80% of the time. Like you just said, if I'm running to the grocery store or going out to dinner...I probably don't have it on me. Unless I had it clipped in my pocket earlier and just forgot it was even there..

I'm sorry to tj for derailing. I need to learn to shut up sometimes.

I carry mine pretty much 100% of the time outside of my house, unless I forget it which is rare. When I come home my pockets get emptied.
It's a useful tool across the board that gets used often, it is also in my opinion more important than a firearm for self defense.
