Grandfathers, at whatever level; great-grandfathers, great-great-grandfathers; are required, by law, to carry pocket knives. Some people think that this is so that grandfathers can take up whittlin' at the drop of a stick. I have no artistic talent, and cannot whittle to save my life (unless you are interested in a large pile of variously sized wood shavings). No, grandfathers are required to carry a knife so that they can produce it, at need, at family Christmases and birthday parties, to open presents.
