I've carried a knife for almost twenty years.
Got myself a new one as a Christmas present two years ago as the last one (I've had three or four) had its blade in too bad a shape.
I use knives as tools. The one I now carry is stained with glue from opening boxes with tape. And once I had to use one to open a box with a PS3 controller inside! Oh, the horror! Was in a situation in which a person asked if anyone had something to open the box with. And when I used my knife I got some pretty bad press. It seems a knife is not a tool, but an instrument of inherent evil. I find it odd. And sad.
