I carry one of a couple folding pocket knives for everything use. Mostly case knives. I do have a Revolutionary War cavalry saber I would love to carry. ..But the law here in the People's Republic of Maryland would probably frown on that..and it is worth quite a bit. Actually it is a bit of a hassle here if the knoife is over 3 or so inches(blade) ...and a neck knife...oh nooo. Bad Bad. Many Gerbers now days seem to be made in CHINA..gag
