Do a video on why I carry knives and why I like knives.

I get that question a lot from friends of mine.

and why do you carry a knife, what do you use it for.

as simple as the answer sounds.

The utility of having a knife on you is only observed by carrying one.

as weird as that sounds.

Not having a knife on you. The chances of needing one I dont think they lessen .

But, having one on you makes everyday utilitarian tasks easier.

you can get things accomplished quicker than if you didnt have one

Otherwise you would need to search for a pair of scissors or a razor. search for something in a drawer.

Then you dont need to walk across the kitchen to get a knife.

Its ease of use,

and utility

realisticaly what it boils down to for me

sometimes you might carry

a bigger knife on you and a larger knife

might not always be required

sometimes a small knife will do.

Or you want a larger knife

for whatever reason

the functionality of the blade itself, one of the oldest tools

Its prevalent in the way that. If you have one on you. You'll use it

I tell that to people when they think about getting a knife.

it sounds idiotic but, I said it to my Dad the other day.

and we got him a Spyderco Salt 1,

He is not really into knives, he loves building things.

Likes doing things with his hands.

He said "your right, I carry the knife in my pocket and I find myself using it all the time"

and if you didnt have it on you

you would be going in another directoins, looking for other things to accomplish your task .

Cutting or Prying.

Getting a small item

out of an area that you would need a delicate blade for

its nice having that on you

Being prepared for

whatever the case may be

Lots of folks may carry a Cadet or a Farmer

It may be all the knife you need in addition to that

Comes with nail file, bottle open lots of utility

The utility out of that its fantastic

some might need a quicker opening style blade. Get a one hand deployment

People ask, why do you need a knife that opens with one hand?

Half the time I use a knife my other hand is holding something.

Maybe its a package, maybe i am pushing something into place

Whatever it is I like having a knife on me that I can open one handed.

I will still probably carry a secondary knife like the alox to

Being prepared and being ready

Its also like carrying a flashlight on you.

a piece of mind for myself

I know I wont have to worry about accomplishing a task

and I can take care of something I couldnt have if i didnt have a knife on me

whenever I am able to, I typically have a knife on me.

Functionality use aside, I just like knives

its something that brings me enjoyment

I like carrying knives, I like playing with them

Its fun to flick it open and closed

keep your hands busy

Maybe your chatting on the phone, or working on something

Keeps those fine motor skills going

Keep me entertained while Im chillin or sitting at my desk

collection wise...

people collect the weirdest things

Lots of people collect knives

A knife in my option at least has some function. Unlike something...A empty perfume bottle

I have aunts that have the 3rd largest collection in the US

I think its idiotic

But thats a collection, thats what their into

Whatever you collect maybe its stamps.

Maybe its football helments

soccer jerzes

whatever it is a collection bring you joy

I was reading an article

that said collecting derives from a prehistoric instinct

A primitive form

of hunting and gathering

finding multiples of the same item

was part of our survivle

techincally its a old survival instinct

atl east thats what I read about

its something that makes me happy, its something that

I can use. Firearms thats

something I also collect

I kinda hindered my firearm collecting

Because I really didnt use them as much. Going to the range is fun.

Watches is another things I love and collect

And I take them with me. Not only is it

Cool and something I like

but its also functional

knives are functional, watches are functional flashlights functional

and collectable totally

fun bring me enjoyment. All the above

anything that makes you happy

its not harming anyone

and monetarily speaking your not

buying knives

instead of paying your mortgage

then go for it

if your saying hey, do I

need a pocket knife?

I would say you wouldnt know you needed one until you carried one

Maybe you think I am wrong

call it whatever you want it to be

Thats just kinda how i feel about it

pretty much everyone that I interact with

I try to you know

I wont mention it but if they ask me about my knife I would suggest they have one as well.

happy to give my opinion and half the time I convince them to grab one

they generally come back and say, I am glad I have a knife now.

you have it on you you'll use it

the older you are

the longer youll live

both statistics are true

Let me know if you have any questions. hope you guys have a good day.

Thanks for watching
