I can't carry a fixed blade at work. I carry an Emerson with the wave feature, because I can open it with one hand: I always seem to have something in my off hand. One of the first things I did was break the tip off, so it's also my screwdriver. If I have to get into a knife fight, my situational awareness was off, or I didn't hump enough ammo.
