My dad gave me a sickass pocket knife from my deceased adopted grandad's stash (he actually gave me a lot now that I've taken up whittling), but I have no reason to carry it on my person so I can't flaunt it. It's doesn't have a locking blade and I'm not good enough at controlling the knife yet to handle a flip knife so it's not good for on-the-go whittlin', even if I did think I could defend myself with a knife without getting hurt (I don't think I could in any imaginable way) the blade is too slow and short to really be used that way, i don't know knife laws in my area very well, and at this point the only time I ever go out anyway is to doctors' offices, hospitals, or government building and I def can't take a knife there.
