I treated myself with a new knife after I got my first Hubpages payout last month

Same here. Aside from my tactical folder, an opinel is on the ready.

Well it cost 1750 php online. Wow whoever that someone is, is in for a surprise he he.

@Mamerto32 that's an expensive knife! Hope it is the type that never dulls.

We are, as long as you don't intend to use it as a weapon. Knives are tools, and self defense is not an excuse here in the Philippines. Knives must be kept concealed here and no fixed blades unless you are a farmer. Make sure you explain your case properly if the police caught you carrying one, but they usually let is go if our reason is valid. In my case I need a pocket knife because I'm an engineer and I need cutting tools for opening boxes, cutting wires and when working with machines.

@Mamerto32 It's more or less the same here. If you do not intend to use your knife as a weapon and you have a valid reason to bring it with you, there is no problem.

Thanks Jessica. In the family it was my uncle who loves these kind if stuffs.

Thanks! My mom could churn a nice salad with her knife.
