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.
It’s legal to purchase and own any kind of knife where I live, but not to carry them unless you have legitimate grounds to do so (self-defense is not one of them). In the case of a push dagger, it would be tricky to argue it’s to slice bread or open boxes.
It’s too bad that “I would be powerless before my enemies without one” isn’t legitimate grounds in the eyes of the law. I think those knives are actually pretty handy for opening boxes, plus they’re just cool. It’s too bad they have a stigma to them, because they’re really cool knives.
