I've carried a pocket knife for as long as I can remember being old enough to be considered responsible.
My grandad always said carry two knives in case someone takes your first one.
I'd say I mainly use mine for box cutting, letter opening, paper trimming and the occasional food slicing/cutting.
My current EDC knife is the Kershaw Composite BlackWash Leek

No, Spam, Ur grandfather were in an assassin's guild, and what he meant was, after u killz ur first target, u should always have another knife for the 2ndary target or use during escapes.

I use to carry various folding knives that I never kept long enough to sharpen. Though my favorite 'knife' is my Dad's P-38. I dunno how he held on to it for so long but I'm glad he did.That's a can opener.

I felt like I could join a knife party with a 30+ year old can opener.. because it can also function as a very tiny knife if one knows how to wield it correctly.
PS this is now a can opener thread.

I always thought knives were just the world's version of Americans and their obsession with guns. You can have them, but you're not really going to be using them for what they were made.
That said, I have been interested lately in a few blades. I keep a Kershaw Leek in my backpack just 'cause. What are some other good options around that size?

I think you're completely undervaluing the purpose of a knife. A gun really has one purpose outside of entertainment. A knife has many.

Well.. yes and no, you could use a gun to cut down a tree, they just wouldn't let you do it.
No.

Are hollow-point bullets not available to citizens across the pond?

The most important reason to carry a folding knife is to cut stray threads off clothing and to perform emergency surgery.
I use my folding knives probably every other day for something. There are better tools for most things, but I don't carry a tool bag with me, so having one general purpose item that sucks at everything equally on my person at all times is convenient. Small multitools are probably a better idea, but they're heavier and don't seem to have any good methods of securing to the pants other than a belt pouch.
I also carry a pen sized flashlight with me all the time. If either of these is not on me, it becomes very annoying any time something comes up: oops, I forgot to turn the porch light on before I left the house; oops, I dropped something under the table and can't see it; oops, I need to tell if you're on drugs right now by testing your pupil dilation. The flashlight is probably the more useful item since other things can be cut with keys or just torn.
The main problem I have with folding knives is that they become dull rather quickly, and I suck at sharpening them, so they're basically useless after enough use.

Oh man yep. Little keychain LED lights have saved the day on a few occasions. All my previous automotive fuse problems seemed to happen at night for some reason.

the brightest keychain seems to be the 300lumen one.. i wonder if that throttles.
Nope. It is illegal in Australia to carry a knife without a valid reason and all those reasons would not be valid.
Same here in Canada. Knives and guns are illegal to carry around without proper permits. I personally do not carry any sort of weapons when in my community, i feel it is safe and it is smaller of a city so most people know others in the neighborhood, even if legal, i still wouldn't do so.
