Also, I don't really understand what the downside is to keeping a knife around? :confused:

afaik the main downside is that the sort of people who might be scared and judge you for having a knife would get scared and judge you

Just don't get one in scary black/green/etc. Make it bright blue/yellow/etc and nobody cares because it looks like a toy.

I think Kershaw does the same thing.

That's pretty kickass. If I hadn't bought my Benchmade for $30, I'd probably have a Kershaw by now.

as does wearing a cowboy hat and boots, but good luck hiding those in your pocket

Its also illegal to openly carry a knife in many places, so most knife carriers look exactly like everyone else.

Nope. Screaming at a sidewalk or taking a dump into a paperbag on a subway platform make you look like a psycho.

I had an insanely sharp sog from their chinese line, one day I was cutting a plastic can and ripped like a dumbass.
Didn't feel a thing until I noticed lots of blood, turns out it cleanly sliced open one of my left fingers 2 or 3 millimeters deep.
Now I still have a little scar and am careful around adult tools.

Everyone should carry a pocketknife and a cigarette lighter with them pretty much 100% of the time.

Sometimes you need to cut something. Sometimes you need to make fire.

Pocketknife, cigarette lighter, and handkerchief. :patriot: Civilization is this way, you monkeys. :smug:

See that's just poor planning. If you present yourself to society as someone who can get poo poo done, people become a lot less willing to do your poo poo for you. Like the last time I had a flat I just stood by the car sobbing and trying to jam a screwdriver into a road flare. Within fifteen minutes I had like two carloads of people changing my tire while I sat in the A/C and pretended to regain my composure.

You could have changed your tire in less than 15 minutes.

e: always carry a lead pipe in your trunk as a cheater bar in case the lug nuts are frozen.

Seriously though, always do this. I don't want to wait any longer than I have to while you're changing my tire.

You should probably also keep a stocked beer cooler and one of those emergency phone batteries so I can drink a cold one and watch Netflix while waiting.

It's what feels comfortable in my pocket. I had this keychain that was given to me in my teens for the longest time, but spring loaded bit started to fail and my keys would come separated from the other half. I went throught a few different things before I settled on the small carabiner.
I tried this S-Biner, but it was too big and didn't feel right.
