Everybody does.That's why i don't anymore.it has a lot of disadvantages compared to a modern fixed/lock,or even slip joint knife.I'm very comfortable with the design though,that's why i like simple friction folders.
It has the intimidation factor in spades,but it's by no means ideal.I used to carry wedge blade styles which are less fragile than hollow grind.

Carrying one now though is fraught with danger,they have a terrible reputation (well deserved) as a thug's weapon.Please don't carry one,they're not ideal and will likely land you in all sorts of trouble with the gendarmes.A nice simple friction folder is far less threatening,and also more practical.
Still i'm a big fan of the design and make fixed blade razors for relaxation,lovely classic design,but very specialized and very impractical for edc.
