do you carry a knife with your ccw?

[ratrodfink]

I carry both daily even though I'm pretty sure I could shoot a box open.

 

[jhgreasemonkey]

I always carry a knife. I really like my benchmade and my sog spring assist. Both are so handy. I use them for all kinds of stuff. Have never used them defensively.

 

[m.p.driver]

Usually have a Swiss army on me.But for S.D. I'm relying on my Glock21,if I'm in a situation where i have to go ninja on someone,I'll just run.

 

[Buddha07]

yep everyday... I now carry a spyderco military with camo g-10 handles, I also have a spyderco goddard, and a kershaw leek with titanium blade...

I've carried a knife (at least one) every day of my life since I was something like 5 years old.

Right now I usually carry three; two different pocket knives, and a Leatherman Wave tool.

None of my knives are designed or intended for SD use, although I suppose they could be used that way in a severe pinch.

My ideas for knife fighting are along the lines of:

Carry a gun for back-up.
If you need the knife, use the gun.

So, I carry (and usually use) knives daily, but they have little or nothing to do with the fact that I also carry a firearm at the same time. My knives get used pretty regularly for cutting tasks, evidenced by the fact that I sharpen them far more often than I clean my EDC handgun.

I too always have a knife with me, most of the time a fixed blade drop point 8" cowboy style. I feel I could bring a knife to bear much faster in very close quarters than a concealed gun. More like, "don't bring a gun to a knife fight".

 

[EastSideRich]

Have carried a folding knife at all times for many, many years (long before getting a permit to carry).
In my opinion it is the most useful tool you can own.

If I've got my pants on there is knife in my pocket. And I my have more than one on me. I've been carrying a knife since I 5 years old. That is over 55 years I've been carrying a knife.

 

[S&W-Keeper]

Only a pocket knife here.There are two kinds of people.Those that have a knife, and those that need a knife.

 

[imthegrumpyone]

Usually something like a Remington serrated for work and a Sog auto for everything else.

 

[kat1950]

Zero Tolerance in watch pocket of jeans, all the time.

 

[misnomerga]

Feel out of sorts without one

I carry two or three everyday

- Buck for everyday use
- Sloan Delta V combat folder
- Nato Military OTF for letter opening

 

[Crankylove]

I carry my knife more than my firearm as I can't carry at work..........but it's only about a 1 1/2" folding knife for everyday use, does that count?

Colubrid,

Could you pan the camera up a bit more next time? I'm more interested in seeing what was beyond your toes on that last pic you posted!
