Nothing particularly original, but it's mine, so here goes.

  • Earfun Free 2: good for listening to podcasts on the go.
  • House keys: well, duh.
  • Olight imini: handy and really tiny flashlight.
  • Mini push dagger: oldest thing in there, got it more than 20 years ago. Says "United" & "Taiwan" on the sheath, so it likely is from United Cutlery.
  • Kershaw Launch 11: my current all-time favorite pocket knife. Small enough to fit in a 5th pocket (but not "deep-carry"), yet handles really well with my not-too-meaty hands.
  • Bellroy Card Sleeve Black: small enough to keep credit cards and such in regular pants' front pockets.
  • Zippo Lighter Spectrum: really a fidget toy for me since I do not smoke, so pretty though !
  • Kleenex mini pocket tissues: the runny nose unwavering companion.

Not on picture: Samsung Galaxy S20 with a Spigen Tough Armor case.

Aren't push daggers illegal in the US?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't know since I don't live in the US. Then again in my country carrying any kind of knife is illegal without "legitimate reason". So there you have it.

Til. However in the land of the Opinel 'it's too slice cheese for on my baguette' would instantly mean legitimate reason.

Knife laws varies from state to state.
In my experience it's more about specific features and sizes than what we traditionally think of categories.

Knife laws are poorly written/defined. Push knife with only one sharpened edge 2.5" and under? legal so long as it is not concealed almost anywhere. Lethality of a push knife 2.5" or under with one sharpened edge? Just as lethal if punched into the throat.

Defense by any means is a natural right.

As other have said, varies by state.

Rather be carried by 6 than judged by 12 on that.

I think you have your saying backward.

No, we all want to die now, get with the times

Possibly, but in my experience, no cop here is gonna look at that and think twice.
