people without pocket knives when they need to cut something ☞
My family always gives me shit for always having my Gerber on my belt, until it's Christmas morning or any of the other times someone needs a knife or pliers.
Your family Christmas morning sounds vicious. You should try getting everyone to sit down and have the youngest child hand the presents out one at a time.
I keep a tiny 1" knife on my keychain. It's incredibly handy, unless I forget to take it off when going through airport security...
Can you not fly with it? In Europe, you can, the limit is 5 or 6 cm of blade. I regularly fly with mine.
If it's sharp or pointy at all you have to check it in the US. I almost got my nice multibit screwdriver confiscated because it was almost too long.
Nope, but they recently loosened the rules so you can bring nail trimmers again.
I've done the same with my Gerber quite a few times
Christmas morning! Every single time I'm the person that pulls out the knife.
