Do you have a knife for daily carry?

I love my Leatherman Wave. It is beat to hell and needs replaced, but they are getting pretty hard to find locally. It's just one of those things that I don't want to buy without having it in my hand first.
I have one of the original Leatherman Multi tools. I was on CQ (Charge of Quarters) at Ft. Bragg in the mid 80's and the NCO I relieved had left it in the desk. The Leatherman was new then. I did my shift and he didn't come back for it. I wrote on the log book that I had it and to contact me to get it back. He never did contact me so I added it to my daily carry along with an 8" double edge boot knife and a 4 1/2"Craftsman folding knife. Mine is exactly like this one with the ballistic carry case selling for $119.99 on ETSY. 1584150164010.png

Does a Stanley Quick Change utility knife count ? When I started in asbestos abatement 31 years ago I was told that’s the only tool i was required to have at all times. It’s become more common than my wallet

Definitely carry one daily, never leave home without it. Been carrying this one the past few years, very lightweight, durable and holds an edge pretty good. Always clipped on my left side pants pocket.

I like the various aspects of the blade, the angled tip is good for puncturing and cutting through zip ties, and the serrated part is great for sawing through heavy stock and cardboard. I’ve been carrying a pocket knife since I was old enough to.

I always get asked if I got a knife on me & answer --- Do I look like someone that would carry a knife?-- then immediately say--- Don't answer that. :rolleyes:

I'm almost never without at least the quick change utility knife with keyring loop in end to quickly pull out. Got several other real knives in the front of worktruck semi-hidden at hands reach. One says the Mexican on the blade. Had a toy double sided stainless axe on side of front seat which recently disappeared?? Have a scalloped sword blade in headliner of el camino still, but took off the 2 4'decorative stainless sword blades in place of where bedrails were. Even have a keychain knife in key I sometimes carry where you publicly can't carry a knife.
Got a Stanley utility knife/blade combo I customized I need to get a picture of.
Yea, I'm the idiot who would carry a knife to a gun fight.

The 2 I carry are cheap.
