Texas knife law used to forbid public carry of poignards and dirks and evil nasty swichblades, among other specific weapons. That law has been repealed, and so far I have seen no news articles about poignard abuse, nor about 19th Century British midshipmen having dirk accidents. The Sharks and Jets seem to be behaving, too.
Wikipedia tells me, “The Fairbairn–Sykes fighting knife may be thought of as a modern version of the poignard.” So here in Texas we have that going for us, which is nice.
Me? I carry a small Gerber folder, because it can cut anything I generally need cutting.
