I always tell the guys on my crew "every man should have a knife" when they constantly borrow mine. The problem is a lot of the times the guy will tell me, "I can't carry one while on parole".I always carry one even when dressed up and going out to dinner and while workinga lot of the time I carry my big 8 inch Ka-Bar straped to the side of my leg, it's amazing how polite people are to me when I'm carrying that thing.
