I carried a blade with me to work for a while a little over a year ago. And used it several times. I don't think that job was very good for me... But normally I don't carry a blade except if I'm going somewhere for a few days or longer. And when I do have a blade with me, I also always have a few band-aids and some neosporin, even though I rarely even use band-aids anymore since there's usually too many cuts nearby for it to fit, and I end up using gauze instead, but for some reason it's still always band-aids in my travel kit (which used to be where I kept my blades not for travel as well, but they've recently migrated to my desk drawer for some reason).

It's not illegal to carry a blade here. At least not the kind I use. Heck, it's not even illegal to carry a gun if you have a license. So I don't have to worry about getting caught if I just have a blade in my bag when I'm walking around on the street or at work or whatever.

The only time that I've carried blades that I might have been 'caught' is that I've carried blades through airport security several times when I either didn't have any checked bags, or couldn't deal with having them out of my possesion for that long (my mom alway tells me to put a change of clothes in my carry on in case the airline loses my bags - same idea). I've actually done that a fair amount, and I've never been caught. The closest I came was once they actually hand searched my bag after they x-rayed it, and the opened the front pocket that had the pouch with my blades in it, but it turned out that they were actually looking for my calculator, and missed the blades entirely. It does make me wonder about airport security that they diligently confiscate water bottles and check graphing calculators, but yet routinely fail to notice actual weapons...
