Alright people I joined to ask this question, Help a girl out

Well, I'm a little late getting to this party, but allow me to offer a couple of thoughts . . .

For those who worry about being disarmed and the knife used against you, think about trying to take a sharp knife away from an enraged 3 year old -- why would some BG have a better luck against you?

As a firm believer in the HAK (my wife and I both carry them) and a former resident of northern California, let me suggest open carry -- on your keychain or attached to your purse strap or even on your belt. For that matter, how many times have the police searched you lately?

Hmmmm, and what do YOU think that says??? :p ;) I am just teasing. But, that IS an interesting point. I personally despise being referred to as a girl, as I am a woman. But, that is me.

It's weird I was wondering about the response myself. If I was flirting or handing out pictures it'd be one thing but since I'm not like that...is this a novelty thing? I know you have some women who are collectors like the poster I quoted, but most of the time I've searched for a few post on knife recs for girls it was their boyfriends or husbands who posted.

TheKnifeCollector- Agree with you totally on grown women being called girls. It's strange though sometimes I still don't feel like i'm adult enough yet for that lable. It's funny even when referring to my guy friends in their 20's I still don't call them men. i wonder when thats gonna change

Oh and I'm gonna go shopping today hopefully by tonight i'll have an order out for a knife and some mace. Please people do not push the custom knives I saw a few that looked like works of art. The my wallet started to scream :rolleyes:

I call women-"ladies", "babies" or "chicks", always, in the dojo, on the street, wherever. It is an honorific. If they are some severely homely femmes, I try not to address them at all!:cool:

Now thats classy, calling a bunch of women chicks or saying hey baby as one walks down the street is pretty much a gaurantee to never get a phone number. Girls you never adress should feel lucky.

Ha, that's true. I've seen guys try it on my younger sister.
 
My roommate's girlfriend paints her jeans on every morning, and carries a Kershaw Leek. It's super slim, so she doesn't have to worry about a funny-looking bulge in her pocket, and it's a nice knife.

Been calling my wife "baby" for almost 20 years, and worry about getting your own "digits" for yourself, young lady, my address book is full.

As in most things, it is how you say it, not what you say.

BTW, my vote for your carry knife would be a Benchmade 710, may be a little large, but it does the trick.

Best Regards,

Sorry I jumped on you so fast. I'd just walked back home and for some reason groups of guys have picked today to hang out on the street and act like idiots. Between that and the honking I was seeing red and prolly didn't see your post the way you meant it.

Let us all know your final selection. [Heck this may be more interesting than who wins the NASCAR championship this year esp since my driver is out.]
Hopefully you'll continue posting afterwards. We need more comments from the fairer sex.
 
The Hideaway knife fit's what you need as far as I can tell. All it is is a household razorblade design with a way to hold it firmly during an attack...it looks the smallest and easiest to conceal, and it's legal in your state.

One good pierce/slash on a guy with that and he'll probably seize up and wonder WTF just hit him. And it looks good for regular everyday use (opening packages/light prying/scraping).

LOL! I know EXACTLY what it means, TKC! :D It means that this place isn't that much different than your basic construction site and if my 64-year old Aunt Frieda, with the faint moustache and the hair in a bun, walked by wearing a heavy tweed coat, knee-highs, and galoshes - at least one hard-hat would feel obligated to whistle and yell out, "Hey, baby! Nice rack!"
 
...my point being: would, say, a MALE college student asking for advice on which folding knife to buy on a budget generate 153 replies in 2 days? C'mon.....;) ;) ;)
 
m new to this forum and I was wondering how to attach an avatar to my name when I post? everyone has these cool images of knives and I would like to have an avatar of a different knife of mine as my avatar image each month. I'll Start with My Voslers. THanks, sorry for being off topic, God Bless
Vaticblade.

That just made my night.
 
This thread reminds me of when the southern bells used to drop their handkerchieves. All the gentlemen would trip over each other trying to help out the damsel in distress.
