IMO it takes a REAL man to admit you have enough blade to handle 99% of your daily cuttings with this blade

I'd ask you to define "manly" especially in this day and age. Is manly something that looks rustic or is the ol' bigger is better? Is it rugged or camo'd with a blackened blade?
The way I'd define it is first... carrying any kind of blade is "manly" from a utilitarian standpoint. Its a masculine thing in my mind though I see a woman carrying a knife for a daily essential tool/defensive tool simply as a smart idea (and kinda sexy). In my definition I go for look as well and I'd say anything with a wood handle and metal bolsters moves up the list of prerequisites. A good sized blade so that everyone else knows its a knife and you're carrying it is kinda "manly" in my mind too. My Cricket confuses people and most people that see it even opened still don't realize it's a hugely capable extremely sharp knife.
Put it all together and I think I'm leaning towards a Sage 4 as a "manly" type knife. It's capable for anything I need, it looks and acts its part perfectly and everything from it's deployment to lock up has the sound and feel that always evokes some good ol' fashioned man grunting.

...I have no knives I keep in a safe but there are one or two that don't leave the house...
I agree with Tuff for current and Chinook 1 all time.
I wish to commend the OP as bad grammar is even more manlier.

Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.
