    They ARE invaluable. I carry one all the time. I was told 15yrs ago that all old guys have a knife. Guess he was right.

    The pocket knife is something id say is arguably one of the most historically important tools ever invented and you gotta love them

      100%. I have carried a pocket knife my entire life and I never leave my home without one. I honestly wouldn't feel complete without one.

    The first time I saw a pocket knife in a Western was Scott Glenn putting one away in Silverado.
    I have a Barlow from the 60's that I carry but I have several of them. They make for a perfect kit knife.

    Eagle Knife Company in Lakeville, Ct made popular folding knives during old west times. The redbrick factory is still standing.
    I recently discovered Opinel pocket knives from France, handy, lightweight, well made little tools.

    That makes sense why the pocket knife was so popular back then. It's size, and functionality must've come in handy. As ALWAYS, Santee, your accompanying clips are so appreciated, and enjoyed.🎊 I'm so glad you included The Duke.

    It's not an Old West knife, but I carry my Leatherman everywhere. One of the handiest tools I own. If I have pants on, I have a knife, unless I'm in a Courthouse, Airport, hospital, or one of those place where they freak out over things like that. Very cool video Santee!

    If you shoot Colt pattern cap & ball revolvers, a jacknife comes in handy for helping to clear cap jams.

    Unless I'm going into a doctors office or government building where they are going to be picky, I always carry a pocket knife. I always figure it's always good to have one and not need one rather than vice versa. After I had an issue with someone at my work (technically while at third party training) assaulting me when someone else asked to see my knife (long story), I only carry a multitool on my person at work for reasons, but carry a beat up milwaukee work folder in my bag just in case.

    Ive got a very large folding knife similar to a spanish navaja as my EDC as a passive aggressive FU to yankee knife laws now that I'm in a northern state. (It's fully legal mind you but thats the point) That being said despite having a variety of folding knives, multitools, and everything else that I wind up using on a regular basis the one that gets the MOST use I own is a teeny tiny little folder with a slim but razor sharp blade. Fact of the matter is that opening mail is just far more of a regular occurrence than anything else I need a knife for.

    yet another “never thought about that” video…i honestly thought that it wasn’t common there as i only saw bigger, more utilitarian knives were seen or depicted as being used in movies or on TV rather than small ones
    i legitimately thought that one of your colleagues would come out with shears in that bit: if you think about it, they’re just two knives put together at a central point 🤣 but that big knife? that was far better and sounded like you were genuinely afraid!
