The only reason I ever carry a knife is to use it as a tool. I guess the point I should have made was that I would probably stay away from carrying a knife that was specifically designed to be used as a weapon just to avoid any risk of that being used against me. I have other defensive options available to me besides a knife anyway...

That's another silly thing in Ohio... You can get a concealed carry licese to carry a gun but you [censored] sure better not be carrying a knife for self defense. There is some logic for you...
