Yep, I always carried a pocket knife from pretty-well when I started school. (By a pocket knife, I mean a clasp knife like the trophy Roger found on the Island.) They were considered safer than a sheath knife (the first one of which I got around age twelve) because the blade was covered when the knife was closed. But I still carry a scar from a pocket knife where I once closed it on my finger....
