If I ain't got a pocket knife on me, you need to tell me to go back in the house and put my pants on....
But I'm old and I grew up on a farm and everyone carried a pocket knife. It's a tool just like any other tool. In fact, it's human's second oldest tool, right after the basic rock. I highly recommend getting one for yourself. A Victorinox Classic is a great EDC. You might not use the little 1"/25mm blade very often, but that nail file and scissors are fantastic to have. And the Classic comes in many handle colors and can hang on your keychain until needed. In fact I highly recommend any Victorinox tool. It might be the greatest urban survival tool ever invented. And Vic's are always acceptable carry in nearly every social situation. People never seem threatened by them.
These days I don't use my pocket knife as much as I used to. But I still carry one every day and it some how feels wrong if I don't. And it's there waiting and ready for when I do need it.
I used to have a knife with me most of the time as a kid. It was cool and useful.
But when I had to store it in security when in festival I more often had to remember to not forget about it than I used it.
