I'm fine with stowing it when I go to places like courthouses and airports, but beyond that I refuse to feel like a criminal because I carry a pointy object.

yeha the concept of a knife as a useful tool seemed to have slipped from the lexicon of daily life. of course maybe if you never do anything, the tool has no use.
I carry a baby swiss army knife on my keychain.
it's handy. it has a little set of clippers and a fingernail file and a little 1 inch blade.
I had to take a quick 1 day turnaround jaunt to baltimore a few moths ago.
I was walking across the walkway into the terminal in manchester and realized I still had it on my keychain.
I was in fully gimpy mode with the crutches and didn't want to go all the way back to my car.
then i saw the planter.
like a proper terrorist I slid the knife off of my keychain and dropped it into one of the plants.
picked it up on my way home
no plants were harmed in the making of this story.

I chose to remove it from her keychain and stash it in my pocket. We went through a different line, nobody cared, all was safe, and I didn't have to buy her a new one.
I, however, had anticipated this and left my knife in the car.
And nobody at all was harmed in the making of this story.

in 2002 we stopped at the ferry to go over to Statton island to see the statue of liberty ( enable irony here).
we had to go through a security check equivalent to any airline terminal.
yup i had to walk back to the car with my little 1 inch knife.
maybe they thought I would carve my initials in the toes of the statue, except you couldn't get within a 100 ft as they had it chained off.

No clue where this one is, it's just a google find. Ours eventually got taken off to the junk yard, it was the farm vehicle, the front window being taken out by a chain breaking and snapping back like a snake was the final straw, but it was on marked time ever since we dropped a portion of an Elm tree on the roof.
