What gunfight??
There are plenty of reasons to carry a knife, When was the last time you came across a wild west shootout? Chances are that a confrontation is going to be close quarters and if you don't have immediate access to your firearm because you are laying on it or perhaps it falls away from you in a scuffle, a knife is an extremely valuable tool to make space. (and for cutting open those damn bubble packs that every company packages things in).
Well said. I carry two: Spyderco Tenacious plain edge as EDC/utility blade...and Spyderco Matriarch on weak side as back up for "emergencies". I feel naked without a knife and end up using it WAY more than I even thought I would. Further, half the time, I end up helping someone else who NEEDS a knife but doesn't have one when they NEED one!
