having a knife with you all the time?

To the OP,

Check out the knife laws in the country/countries you intend to visit - ie the type of knife, its size and its purpose may be regulated in some way.

This is a good point above. I did some consulting last year on knife designs due to my day job. One of the avenues we had to look at was size. In some countries size matters a lot. I'd have to look up the research I did but in Korea for example any blade over so many cm, it wasn't a lot, requires the owner to get a sword permit! England has some very tough knife laws as well. Since guns are pretty much outlawed many crooks go for the "personal touch" a knife offers.

In the UK it's worse than that. You must have a reasonable immediate use for any knife on your person and there's an immense amount of latitude given to the police. So if you are an electrician and on your way to work, your multi-tool might be fine. If it's the weekend and you are at the park but you still have it? Maybe, maybe not. Stopped off for a few at your local? Clearly you don't need a multi tool in a bar! So you might be really screwed.

I carry my benchmade everyday.

In each car I have trauma shears and or strap cutters. as well as basic trauma kit (tourniquets, bandages for severe trauma etc)

At school knives are banned, like every other "weapon".

I still carry my pocket knife.

I got told to leave a VA hospital is west palm for my pocket knife one day. Made me laugh in the face of the "security guard".

Now when I go I just clip it inside my waistband or drop it in the bottom of my pocket.

I carry a Spyderco Paramilitary every day. It is a very useful tool. When I fly I tuck it in my checked bag and transfer it to my pocket after baggage claim.

Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

I always bring my knife... but I also bring my 9mm. And sometimes my 22 as well. I get far more use out of my knife tho.

I like knives. I carry a folding knife most of the time.

But a knife for me is a tool, nothing more, used to cut or open inanimate objects only. I harbor absolutely zero "mall ninja" fantasies about ever using it to defend myself or others from an attacker with it. I mean, really.

It is a tool.

If you plan to travel with a knife, as already mentioned, do carefully check all laws and regulations for the areas you plan to travel to.

Best wishes.
