I don’t carry balisong because it’s really totally illegal in California. Benchmade used to be In downtown Los angles until the trouble started.
They seem to be legal, I know autos have only become legal in the last few years there. I’m in New York and autos are illegal. I don’t carry them for self defense, more utilitarian more than anything.

A bit of all of the above I guess, I usually always have a knife on me. It’s a tool. You’d be surprised how much a regular pocket knife can come in handy
Edit: if I have one on me for defensive purposes it’s for wildlife, I run into coyotes more than I’d like.

A knife is an exceptionally handy tool to have on you. I find a use for mine nearly every single day. I never view it as a weapon. I always heard you don’t bring knives to gunfights. With so many people carrying firearms, and the news showing an ever increasing amount of idiocy involved their usage, I find that the mind… is your most formidable weapon. This is only me, and in no way is this meant to say this is the only way.

For me a knife is a cutting tool that I carry daily.
While they “Can” be used as a weapon, I always go back to my Close Quarter Combat Training.
- Never get in a Knife fight.
- Never get in a Knife fight.
- If you get in a Knife fight you Will be Cut/Stabbed. If your Lucky you will live, and be in the Hospital for a long time.
Looking at the scars this guy had on his arms, I believe this statement came from experience.

I love me some kershaw. I don’t need $300 dollar knives. I mean, I’d take one if it was offered, ya know, but kershaw does everything I need it to (cut, that’s all, just cut).
Those scales are sweet! Did you do that? It looks custom. I don’t keep up on knife news anymore really. Was there a release with the cool riveted panel look? Also, what model? I thought leek maybe but now I’m not so sure.
This is and has been my daily carry for probably going on 10 years now
The spring on my scissors broke a year or two ago. I need to send it in to get fixed but I’m wondering what I will do for those several weeks without it.
I used to carry a folder too, ya know, redundancies. I couldn’t fit enough yo-yos in my pocket though so I had to consolidate. I guess I always have my spyderco bug (?, I can’t remember now. Maybe, grasshopper?) in my wallet survival kit.

Can you tell New Mexico that it’s a tool? Because we seem to have the loosest and most restrictive laws regarding something I use to dig out gunk from under my nails.

Absolutely. But that is a whole other conversation.
I would assume anyone intending on this situation would have a Trauma IFAK with them.
Heck, everyone should have a basic IFAK near by.

My word barley has weight here. You think Knucleheads in New Mexico would listen?
