I've heard a few folks talking about keeping blades(usually bigger types)in their cars/trucks,so I thought I'd throw out a word of caution/advice;if you(like me)like to keep a survival style blade in the truck,consider doing as I did- I found an old ammo type crate that fit under the seat and bolted it the the floor pan,then had a strong clasp welded to the lid so I could padlock it.That protected me in two ways:if the police ever questioned my having it in the vehicle,at least it was secured in manner that showed I was'nt just wheelin' around with a blade under the seat ...and,it made it really tough for someone to steal!
