I always carried a knife of various sizes but when I went sailing it was a must as you never knew when you might be caught in an anchor rode or jib sheet and you can;t move until you have cut that rope. So it was an necessity I was never into expensive knifes only one that would work. My last purchase is this smith & Wesson from Amazon.
That is similar to the one I routinely carry. My two older sons carry Leatherman tools in holsters on their belt. My two younger sons don't usually carry them, so they are always begging a knife from someone else. Our daughters used to carry knives when they ran dogs, but I don't know that they still do.
I don't carry a knife on my person, but I always carry a means of fire. Recharges via USB port. Windproof & waterproof. I forget what marketing email got me to buy this.
