Knives are dangerous. No argument there. Hell, my car keys can be dangerous too. But they are also utilitarian in a lot of different and innocent situations. Having a simple pocket knife is not a bad idea.

  1. Cutting open boxes
  2. Cutting wire or string or that flat plastic tie used in packing
  3. Stripping wire
  4. Dislodging items
  5. Scraping things
  6. Peeling apples
  7. Whittling

The point is, I’d be less concerned about somebody having a pocket knife than a gun. But, that may be because I’m from the South and it’s more common down here; not that guns aren’t common, but that knives are very common.

Scraping things

Remind me not to loan you my knife.

Same with "dislodging items"

I would bet money that the person you're talking to thinks we shouldn't be allowed to drive cars either
