12 good reasons to carry a knife

Here in Germany there are in recent times of new laws or ideas for laws which affect me directly or indirectly, mostly cutting my freedom at every edge.
One of those ideas is to outlaw public carrying of knives, it comes from a small politician called Ehrhart Körting, which received in 2003 the Big Brother Award. Again a splendid idea which would affect me, as i always carry a small hunting knive on my side. He want's them to be outlawed because they are dangerous weapons, yadda yadda.
As i said, i always carry a knife with me, i only take it off, if i have to go to a place where knives are prohibited and where i expect to be searched for weapons, but i don't like to be searched, so i usually don't go to such places.
I use my knive pretty often, but i never used it as weapon so far, so i thought i'd write down the uses i have for my knife in my daily life.
These are some things that came to my mind just now, i bet there is more, but those are things i do pretty often.
My knife is a tool which i use a lot more often than my mobile phone, in fact i wouldn't care if mobile phones would be outlawed, but that's just me

- I cut things, just yesterday i had to cut a string for a friend.
- I peel apples, i am allergic against something on the outside of apples, so i have to peel them, when we have apples in the university, the knives we have there are no good for that
- I cut walking sticks when i wander around in the forests
- If i don't have gloves with me i would have to peel the sticks, as i am allergic to some green things on them...
- I can open cans with my knife, if i don't have anything else at my hands.
- Cutting and dismantling cables.
- Opening stubborn packages.
- I clean my nails with my knife
- Cut food
- i wished i could shave myself with it, but it's not sharp enough...
- sharpen my knife whenever i have the opportunity
- Handle screws.
