“A gentleman...keeps a blade by his side.” Admit it. You’re smiling, if not outwardly, then inwardly. You’ve already taken out your mental pad and paper and are scrolling down to the bottom of your list of “Reasons to Always Carry a Knife.” This one goes on the list. After all, it was a military strategist who made this statement, and you never know when it’ll be TEOTWAWKI and you’ll need your survival knife. Most of all, you want to be a gentleman (or ladies, you want to be as prepared and gentle-lady-ish as possible--and of course that includes a knife).

What about you?
So what about you? Do you have a survival knife strapped to your belt, a pocket knife hiding out in your pants pocket, or a boot knife securely tied into the laces of your shoe? Why do you carry a knife (or is it multiple knives)?
