A number of years ago, when I got my ZT, I was trying to decide which knife I wanted to carry as my EDC. I put the ZT in my left front pocket and the other in my right front pocket. Several weeks later I decided I wanted to carry both. I am somewhat ambi and found that most of the time I grabbed boxes in my left hand (predominant Lefty), so grabbing the knife in the right pocket was easier.
I discovered that I was able to use my right hand to slice and cut. I was never able to do that before. I can only attribute that to exercising and firearms training weak-hand shooting. I discovered this while doing yard work. One time I grabbed the sledge hammer in my right-hand and used it as easily as I would have in my Left-hand. I did not realize that I did that until I was done using it. A couple of months later I was carving some meat and when I was done, realized I was cutting with my right-hand.
My issue with my new found skill is that I find on occasion that I hit the wrong key on the keyboard, but that it is in the same position, but for the wrong hand. I need to practice my, what is now called, keyboarding skills, not typing skills. 
Worse yet, I am posting this on my IPad using a Magic Keyboard, which requires a whole nother set of shortcut keys.

A Spyderco Delica is my LA knife for when I visit my daughter in Los Angeles. The blade length is legal there, or at least it was the last time I checked.
In the normal world I’ll carry a Spyderco Rescue, Buck Folding Hunter, US made Schrade 30OT, SAK, or Micro Leatherman depending on the circumstances.
I have a Benchmade Presidio II but I find it too large and heavy for pocket carry (although my bride considers it more of a homage to NCIS Agent Gibs, LOL!)

Strictly for self defense. Cleaned and oiled on a monthly basis.
I doubt flesh will dull these blade.

Not sure about your EDC but I think your doing your kitchen knives dirty! 
I sharpen my kitchen knives, of which I use two daily, about every other week. Actually, to clarify, I hone every other week. I sharpen monthly. makes a HUGE difference in food prep for me.

I have a few of these because I always forget to leave it home when I go to a show or on a flight and apparently it is a dangerous weapon

Bobbyjean.
Found many a coffee mugs with this feature, which only go for a few bucks. Now I got no excuse for not sharpening enough. I just glide the blade against the rough ceramic grind on the bottom rim/edge of me coffee cup.
Such a mug works for even camping (although heavy), fishing. Just be careful not to break it. Wide/easy to clean. Always thought coffee taste better from ceramic cups, root beers too.

I hear you man. I think some topics are easier to stay on focus with the subject, whereas some topics relate to so many other things, it’s easy for the reader to go off topic, myself included.
If we go off topic, I can see how that can be a compliment to the original poster/author, as their topic stimulates different thought and or seriousness, as opposed to other more lighthearted topics per se - I guess. IDK.
Since I started on here, I’ve received many positive (cool) replies, and others, not so positive. Given that, I figured how to block myself from seeing their posts, and can only hope some others block me, since they made it clear, they wanted to argue. If I wrote everything I felt, I’d be flagged immediately, so I just slow my roll. I need to practice being more diplomatic, LOL.
I think the USCCA online monitors are OK with us “calling something out” when a reply was “out of line”, but I know we probably should be mature about it when we do.
But that’s ok, and within all our freedoms of speech. There were a few posts I flagged for the USCCA to “review”, but none of those were posted to me, or anyone in particular, I just thought it was on the extreme and not listed as within the USCCA online community guidelines.
I wasn’t sure if the annual USCCA member conferences would reflect the folks on these pages, but when I had seen some negativity, I’ll be first to admit, it spooked me and I got concerned who and what I would see at an Expo. Got turned off, so I chose not to attend.
Still, I learn a lot from others here and some I enjoy reading, so I still check it out, and in the end appreciate the forum. Still seems great people on here. Humbling.
In my crude attempt to stay on topic, I just thought, what a cool project it would be to make a handmade knife tool from nature, from what we find in the forest, stone, wood, tree sap, twine, like they did before steel.
Peace to you, Debbie, and your puppy dogs.

Back when this forum was first created, the members of this forum had big plans to meet up at the Kansas City, Mo. USCCA expo. COVID ruined that as lockdowns started like 3 weeks before it was slated to begin. Forum was never really the same after the lockdowns.

I agree. It’s all good. You all are right gentlemen.
Interesting about the Covid lockdowns. A nephew of mine described his toddler as a Covid baby, because they were not allowed to go to Day Care, his boy missed out on some healthy socialization, thus it took him more time to interact more with people. He’s blossomed now.
I saw that a lot of wildlife bounced back during that lockdown period, but I wonder if from a socialization standpoint - if it was the opposite for humans, having an adverse affect on adult aged as well. Now that things are looser, we can grow.
Although I’m not from Texas, my family and forefathers are. Pretty cool coincidence. I know many of you are from the Lone Star. Nothing but family, and love.

Thanks BobbyJean.
I wish I had saved it, back when Covid 19 was at its peak, I once saw a ‘meme’, that read, “During the great depression and WW-II, we made some significant sacrifices. But during Covid, we were asked to sit on our couches”. LOL.
BTW, cool dog names. Peace brother.
