    I used to carry one, I thought <it’s ought to be useful sometime>, and it could be. But most packets are easy to open ny hands, and utilty knives become become progressively less useful as you get used to the.

    I was checking and checking granpa’s garage, I found some two heavily used pocket knives in there. Rusted, shut. I restored the without losing that ‘antique’ patina. But I could never carry these. First they’re illegal around here ~ and if you want to visit any EU city they’re not things to have on yourself ~ secondly, they’re less than ideal tools in many such cases. I like harvesting and hiking, and shears are safer to use. I understand a swiss knife, but that has limits too.

    A general advice is that one of these knives can put you in dangerous situations, like the one yoy described…
