Long ago I worked as an armed security guard. In the course of working a crowd control job one of the other guards, a new guy, asked me if I carried my pistol loaded. I was taken aback by the question. I told him I always carried it loaded because someone else with a gun and grudge might think I was serious about the whole thing.
I would suggest the same applies to any tool you carry around. Anything that might be perceived as a weapon should be able to function as such. The notion of a plastic bladed or non-bladed sgian to smacks of costume and that's not why I came. Real deal or nothing for me.
Slàinte mhath!
