I have a Boker Kwaiken, a real nice one, but man do I love the DW-1. It’s so wee you can really use it anywhere without worrying about freaking anyone out and it does things like box cutting waaaay better than a longer knife.
Not anymore. All knives are now banned in public because apparently we are toddlers. Or they think that terrorists won’t find any way to hurt people now. Because surely legality is where any knife murderer draws the line…
Edit : I think laguioles and swiss army knives are still ok since they have no blade lock. But apparently there is now zero legal difference between my extrema ratio knife (which is admittedly really blurring the line between EDC and “tactical” knife) and an Opinel.
My EDC is a Spyderco Para 3, but IMHO Kershaw is a great budget brand. I really like the Iridium, but the finish is a bit too delicate for my taste because I keep my knife in the same pocket with my keys.
a high quality pocket knife. never leave home without one.

I understand the logic, but I’ve never been in a situation when I thought “I wish I had a pocket knife”
If you carry one, you’ll discover all sorts of uses for it.
I have one in my car, but the glovebox is where things get forgotten.
Maybe a small Swiss Army knife would be a good investment.
A leatherman, or gerber multitool has been a life-saver for me more than once
What game are you changing exactly with this?
It’s very convenient when you forgot lunch money.
This is illegal in France :(
that’s really to bad, guess your guys’ gangs really fucked that up for everyone
Just guillotines
Sadly also illegal as some people might feel threatened by it :(
You can carry an opinel or laguiole afaik?
Not for defense. You can carry a knife like when you also carry food because you can justify needing it. You can’t carry a knife without such reason
I need the knife to cut food at my destination though

Oh wow, I didn’t know that.
