Here is my personal take on knife carry: I've carried a knife almost every day of my life since I was about 12 years old (back then, the teachers knew that I had a pocket knife and would ask me to fix the projector when it got stuck). However, my knife needs have never been for any kind of large or "tactical" kind of blade. My knife carry choice now is a decent sized Swiss Army knife. The most commonly used tool on that knife is actually the scissors followed by the toothpick.

I can't foresee a situation in which I need a knife as a weapon - therefore I choose to carry the knife that most resembles a tool (or in this case, a collection of tools).
