    A smaller blade is less dangerous but not safe. You wouldn’t give a 3 year old a multitool with an exposed knife.

    And the second part of the argument was that you don’t need that utility all the time. 99% of the society can get their things done without carrying a knife around.

    Thus someone constantly carrying around a potentially dangerous tool would look weird. I’m sure a hammer would also have great versatility but when you see someone casually lugging a hammer around you wouldn’t find it weird?

      You wouldn’t let a 3 year old cook dinner for himself either. A guy owning an oven is a huge red flag

      “A toddler shouldn’t have one, so there’s no reason to ever carry one.”

      Do you even listen to yourself?

        Uhh… They mentioned a toddler to enforce the argument that a knife, regardless of size, still carries an inherent risk of cutting oneself.

          And a pencil carries an inherent risk of poking ones self. Is it unreasonable to carry a pencil with you?

      You can do 99% of things without carrying a GPS, phone, internet browser, 3 cameras, a compass, an MP3 player, a TV and contents of the Library of Congress around, but no one bats an eye about someone bringing their modern smartphone literally everywhere.
