What knives you all carry?

Started sharpening my own at about 12. I made this case when I was about 15. The knife to have then IMO was a Buck Stockman and Cadet. Skinned a lot of coon with a Cadet. And other fur bearers. Hang a coon with a gambrel tied to a tree. Skinned in minutes. Take the dog and hunt for another. A Stockman is pretty good dressing deer. Both great utility knives. Never needed a pretty knife for anything. I don’t shave with a knife. Not trying to stab bears.
Been using a Chicago Cutlery chef knife in the kitchen for 30 some years. I keep a few filet knives around for mostly walleye.
I keep a keen edge on my knives and can’t stand the sight of a blade with a sloppy edge done with a grinder or something weird. I told my wife many years ago not to mess with my chef knife. She tried to clean it and cut the sponge in half. Never again. Wife and our sons know to never put my kitchen knives in the sink or dishwasher.
No! You can’t borrow my knife!
These are some of my most used.

None, has no need for it, except at work. In Norway, it is also illegal to carry knife at public places.

Have no need for it? I use my EDC 40-50 times a day, home, out and about and work as well.

One of my hand made knives in our kitchen. Purposefully colored this way, rustic look with my own hand made laminated white Oak handle scales.

I am not sure what you mean with "brush up on anatomy". But about carrying knife in public places, I somethimes do wear a stanley knife I use at work, in my pocket, forgetting it is there. It is not like the police are going around checking if people are wearing knife or not.
Things have changed, when I was a kid everyone had a knife, playing around in the wood making huts or wathever. No kids are playing with knifes anymore, it would be irresponsible of the parrents allowing them do so. And no kids are climbing trees either, as it can be dangerous. Guess it is all about safety, being a kid, or a grownup. For me a knife is a tool, and I do not wear a screw driver either in my pocket if I have no use for it. But it is probably a nice hobby, for collectors, or for thouse who make theire own:)

I use a knife at work, cutting plastic, or wathever. I also use a knife at home.
But when go downtown to sit in the park, or go to the grosery store I do not need a knife. I am not going into politics, but the law saying not to carry one in public, is not a problem for me. I did not wear one when it was legal either, except when I was a kid, using it as a toy, to make stuff.
But nice handywork there never the less:)

I will humbly digress if not understood . (critical nerves , major arteries , joint separation , and paralyzing areas) might come in handy some day who knows ? lol Heck I thought everyone loved the hero haha.
Just jesting, you be you and I will just wish you the very best . It is perfectly ok to see things differently it keeps things interesting. The tactical pen could be used to write poetry or poems(y)

I just carry a cheapy Elk Ridge spring assist folder for boxes etc. It's sharp enough to skin a squirrel so it works for me. $14 bucks and it's been flawless for 2 years of everyday use.

I live in a state where I can carry a pistol concealed... so I carry concealed lol.

I have some other big buck knives and a couple punch daggers, but I dont carry them unless on a hike I might take one.
Those punch daggers are perfect on a chest rig though, just look a bit odd walking around town with that strapped to your pec.
