Here is one to go with it:

85 out of 1000 is a problem in their eyes? Seems
when I was growing up, just about everyone had a
knife.

I've pretty much carried a knife all my life...
though admittedly the Leatherman I've carried for the
last 7 years might qualify as a "knife" only on a
technicality... but I'd be naked without it.

"The one that got away" was a Buck engraved with name,
unit, dates of service, I got when I left the 3d ACR.
Actually, I didn't "lose" it so much as it was stolen.



I carried Camilus electrician's knives most of my life, from the
start of junior high school, on. I made several flights with one in my
pocket, as well. I simply opened both blades and let them see they were
barely sharp enough to strip wire, wile telling them I used them every
day in my work to strip wire, and as screwdrivers. They just said, Ok,
and handed it back to me.
