Knife or Scissors

News from Blackberry Cabin -- I have always thought of scissors as tools and knives as weapons. But what do you think ---


Since I have been here, twice a man has had to let me borrow is pocket knife to use as a tool. Today at the dump I needed to break down the box I carried my other boxes in and I didn't have anything to cut through some thick tape.

So do I buy a pocket knife and if so where do I carry it? Is it really a pocket knife if I carry it in my purse? If I carry it in my purse why not just bring scissors? Should I consider my scissors as a weapon? Can I get passed the thought that a pocket knife is a weapon?
