This is terrible advice, most people don't carry a knife because it's just not necessary in everyday life. That quote was clearly written for young boys playing with other young boys: if I asked a buddy for his knife and he said "Where's yours? Guess you're not responsible enough for one" I would get a new friend before I got a new knife.

the absolute man-child energy coming off of the downvoters...

See? There is a reason you do not have one, and would never ask for one.

No, genius, that's a reason to ask for one.
