"Emergencies," Ford says simply. It's the same answer he gave Missy.
Written in the line of his mouth, the set of his shoulders, the scars on his hands, is a record of the kinds of emergencies Ford's talking about. There have been plenty of times he could have used a Sub-Atomic Particle Splitter. Ford never default-assumes he won't need one. His family isn't here to have his back, so deep down, Ford believes that when the chips are down, he'll be on his own.
Bill told him not long ago that it was easy to exploit how easy he was to win over. He said that no one was going to stick around for thirty years. The Barge and the people on it are temporary, one of many episodes in Ford's multidimensional adventures. Except maybe Shiro, who is a Pines, and wants to come back to Gravity Falls.
There are all kinds of things he could need a monofilament knife for. Not all of them are "if the taser gloves don't work."
