Imagine not carrying a knife everywhere you go.
I tried, it's just another thing to carry that I never need. I cannot think of a single instance when 1) I needed a knife 2) I wasn't in a location which had a more appropriate knife than a pocket knife 3) I couldn't just use a key.
Like every normal person?
EDC. Never leave home without one.
I hate to have things in my pockets, so I don't carry anything more than the absolute essentials of keys, phone, and wallet. I count on one hand where I needed access to a knife when I didn't have one, and that was only because I forget to put it back into my tackle box after sharpening it.
The EDC crowd always tries to convince me I need a knife on me at all times because there are constant reasons to need one, as if I don’t experience what it’s like to live without a knife in my pocket every single day. I literally can’t remember the last time I needed a knife and there wasn’t one within a few steps. Why would I want more crap in my pockets when it’s not serving a need? There are knives everywhere, just put it in a drawer. If you need to work outside you can put it in your pocket then. EDC has nothing to do with utility, people just don’t want to admit it’s a hobby.
EDC crowd is carrying ridiculous amount of shit in their pockets. Fuck that
Mfw when someone has two things in one pocket
People laugh at me for carrying the EDC basic tactical flashlight, knife, multitiool, gun, measuring tape, fidget spinner, lockpick set and a lighter. What if you need them walking to your car smdh. We'll see who is laughing then!
Aww fuck I forgot my wallet
I like how you have to make shit up because "a multitool fits in a pocket alongside a wallet" is too reasonable for you to engage with
It's a joking exaggeration my man. I don't care if you carry around a whole toolbox or go empty pocketed. Happy Christmas,
Most pocket knives dont go in your pocket, they clip onto it for easy access. Theyre a tool that in certain cases needs to be accessed quickly or reliably.
So when you hear "I don't like things in my pockets" your first assumption is that the speaker is unaware that hanging things off the side of their pockets is an option? Fine. For the pedantic: I don't like having more than the bare minimum number of things in, on, or around my pockets.
Either way, still doesn't change the fact that a very large number of people (myself included) have no use for a pocket knife in our daily lives.
