Carrying a knife should have the same criteria for any gear. What do I need it for? If your reasons begin with "maybe", do not bring it. For example, maybe I will need it for protection against a wild animal. Maybe, I'll need a saw blade. Maybe, I'll need it to carve a sharp point in a stick. Figure what you need the knife for and plan accordingly. BTW I saw an old-timer skin a deer with a small one blade knife he had on a watch chain. The secret was it was sharp. A small sharp knife covers most needs.
