If you run through the kitchen and grab a knife from the draw, you're fine. If you keep one by your bed, you're not.

That's insanity.

This is what I keep under the bed specifically in case of intruders:

I have a knife nearby too but I like the extra reach that a heavy blunt object affords. Plus, mentally, I'd be less hesitant about bludgeoning than slashing or shooting.

Switchblades (locking knives) are illegal here and carry a hefty penalty if caught with one, but folding knives and short knives in a sheath are fine to carry. I have a Swiss Army knife. My dad has a more impressive collection of knives - he's got some swords, a few Spydercos, 2 katanas, 6 bayonets, and a whole bunch of other random knives.

As an avid camper and backpacker, my Buck sheath knife, and my Gerber folder and camp axe are among my prized possessions.
