It's not warm when she's away...
NOTE: I love my parents more than anything, and I can understand where they are coming from, so I will not hold anything against them, and neither should you. ALSO HI FBI & NSA
WELP. LITERALLY 1 YEAR INTO THIS HOBBY (bought the CRKT drifter on April 13th 2017) AND... Time for a goodbye. AND to air out my dirty family laundry.
So remember how I posted a video of my Lionsteel roundhead? I enjoyed it and it was great. Unfortunately, my parents weren't as big of fans.
My dad came in with a "Don't you know the FBI's watching you, delete that g****m video" (read it like you're my chemical romance lol). So he told me to throw all my knives out until my mom stepped in. She explained to me that the FBI is watching me and that this might hamper my future in law enforcement (Jokes on them, because the FBI/NSA already knew about this considering my search history on Amazon to begin with).
I already knew that this would possibly be a reality so I was already prepared to throw everything away at a moments notice. They told me that they viewed them as weapons (which we've already talked about), and that advertising that I have weapons to the world is a way to destroy my future in law enforcement. TBH I don't really have a use for knives in my life, so I couldn't really justify having one (SD is not a viable use for me, and that will be the end of that conversation). (Cutting down boxes? Boxcutter. Opening letters? Scissors. Yes my knives did make them a little easier to handle, but it's not the end of the world)
So the compromise that they made me is that I could keep my sharpmaker, but had to throw out all the shiny and sharp things. No, I couldn't sell them because it would be the same as selling weapons to them. And they told me to pick up a new hobby so it's whatever. (I'll try and see if I can get back the money that I just threw away)
Please don't be angry towards them, they truly do care. And we come from a country where people are stabbed with kitchen knives, so please try to empathize with why having a Cold Steel knife is not pleasant for them to see.
It was fun while it lasted, and I really did learn a lot here. I might eventually pick up a multi-tool, or have my own collection when I actually get a job as an LEO, but it can wait for now. I'll keep this account (if what they said is true, then I've already made my bed) and still interact with the community as best as I can, make my youtube/insta private AF, delete all my imgur images, and have everyone's fantasy come true, not to have to worry about spending money on knives (yes I know it's different, let me have this lol)
I can't stress this enough, I still love my parents. Getting rid of my knives is something that I mentally prepared for since day 1 of making my first purchase. Also, I am too easy to DOX. And why don't I have my own place yet? Because it actually would've made this situation 10x worse. They would've stripped that place clean leaving me without even a kitchen knife to cook with. At least living at home allowed me to come forward on my own and get rid of everything that I have on my own terms.
...Anytime she goes away, anytime she goes away, anytime she goes away...

A gateway for a gun obsession!
