Anyone carry a knife daily?

what's Australian bbq sauce based on? for chicken here most people use a sweetish tomato based sauce, with molasses and spices usually.
different but similar for pork or beef in a lot of places, some places do dry rub only, and some have a spicy vinegar based sauce for pork.
there are too many local variations of how to eat it all to list. here bbq pork or beef is served on a roll by itself. about 100 miles from here, they serve it with a big spoonful of coleslaw on top of it :sad:
Yeah thats the one. No Hickory though. We generally don't like it. The road kill is all fair game though. "Waste not, want not." As the saying goes.

There are a cheap fixed blade knife and a machete in the floorboard for bushcrafting and bushwhacking. There is a folding razor knife in my small tool bag. Between the seats I carry a fillet knife. Buddy gave it to me when his kid was selling knives to raise money for some school thing 20 years ago.

My observations have lead me to believe that only overweight, weak men "EDC" knives.
i weigh 190 lbs, am 5'9" and am a black belt in Wado Ryu. i'm also a human being, not an indestructible action movie hero.
i carry a knife primarily as a tool, to cut rope, boxes, w/e. if and when i think i need it for defense, then i'll use it as defense, and could care less what your opinion about it is.

I knew this guy who thought there were rules to street fights and he was the type to say you're a pussy if you pull a weapon. He ended up in the hospital with a big gash in his chest from a knife after some dude started shit with him at a bar, he changed his opinion after that. Not only for his safety, but it cost him thousands in medical costs.

I saw this online in a forum from a Randall collector and thought what a kind and incredibly generous thing to do for this Vet and his family by reuniting one old friend with another. bb

"I have a story I would like to share with you all. This past summer I picked up this wonderful late 40s, early 50s model 4-7. It was at a local Gun shop that had several nice vintage Randall's. As many Randall's do it had a name engraved on the blade. Being the kind of person who always likes to know the history of things I own I decided to Google his name and see what I could learn. Knowing the age of the knife I could assume the gentleman was in his 80's so I really had no idea if I would be able to find anything about him or not. After searching for a while I was able to find only one person with that name (it was a rather unique last name which I will keep private). I found out that this gentleman was in the Navy and would have been about 87. After a little more research I found his longtime home address and a phone number. So i decided to give it a shot and gave him a call. Amazingly I was able to speak directly to him that day. As it turned out he had carried this knife through Korea and it was stolen from him near the end of the war. After talking with him for a while I decided that I wanted to send him his knife back. A few days later I got a call back from him and his family totally overjoyed. They even sent me a picture of him as a young sailor with the knife on his hip. They offered to pay me for the knife but I refused any payment knowing the blessing he and his family received was payment enough. 65 years later he finally received his knife back home. I want to encourage all of you to take the time to research any knives you may have...you never know what story that blade may be hiding"
