Did Charlie Mike post and I missed it ? ? ? :)

Naw . . . my story was absolutely true . . . I don't doubt Ankerson's posts (just his S110V :)). . . the rest of mine was for humor about the date and knife in a restaurant.

Still if some one is whipping and clicking and brandishing rather than a descreet deployment with a little cough to mask the lockup of that triadlock . . . well then maybe . . .

PS: some people have actual problems from being cut, threatened or otherwise abused with a knife and they DO NOT appreciate being reminded of this during a peaceful dinner. I think that MIGHT BE grounds for some consideration for the issues discussed above.

Well, if I "whip out" my knife, hold it aloft and scream "Hey everybody, look at my knife!!! I have a KNIFE!!!", then I would expect an issue might arise.

Since I'm not a raging jackass, I have never had any issues. :)

Pffft, they might have been beaten up by someone with tattoos and long hair...I'm not going to cut my hair and get laser tattoo removal surgery. :rolleyes:

Hand sanitizer; cuts through grease, and it cleans your hands. :)

OH MY GOD ! HE'S GOT A 'NIIIIIIIIFE ?!?!? LOOK AT THAT WEAPON ! ! ! !
. . . ahhhhh . . . oh wait . . . he's just putting some jam on his bagel . . . not to worry.
Never mind.

I just usually lick it a lot but then I salivate profusely all the time so it's a no brainer.

Seriously though; a wipe on the napkin then a little hot coffee on the napkin or knife. Good enough.
Wy . . . i remember when we used to hunt grizzz in the Yukon that stuff would freeze on there for days . . . we didn't care . . . in fact WE LIKED IT THAT'AWAY.

That's an understatement. Went to a restaurant today, used my knife and no one even noticed. Thank God I wasn't arrested.
 
Who cuts a burger? It's handheld already, just eat it.

There are burgers and then there are BURGERS. Remember . . . if it wasn't for Carl's Junior some of us guys would starve to death.

If it takes more than two hands to pick up I say EDC time.

I wipe it down with a wet nap really good then dry it.

I do. Just wipe it down with a handkerchief and place it back in my pocket. I can clean it at home later. No need for the odd restroom cleaning.

Girly friend thinks so and I have gotten some unusual looks at Texas Roadhouse

Were you at a Texas Roadhouse in Texas? In Texas I would be surprised if anybody notices but other states might be different. I use my knife occasionally when the restaurant doesn't provide a sufficient knife and nobody pays any attention to me, but it does bother my wife.

I was in an expensive BBQ restaurant and their dull knives wouldn't cut the sausage so out comes the M4 PM2. Nobody even noticed. And I always carry knives that are long enough that I keep food out of the pivot.

On a fishing trip this weekend I had carried a cheap CRKT in case I managed to drop it in the lake. We has sausage for dinner and I used the CRKT to cut the sausage.

Nah, must be that they have great Wi-Fi in jail, and you guys somehow smuggled your phones in.
That's the only logical conclusion. :)

Zaphod Beeblebrox. Did I mid something?:confused:

No need to worry about dulled blades. I had to relearn how to use kitchen cutlery when I got my Shun knives: don't chop, push the blade so that it barely touches the cutting surface. Same idea here, with a wallet touch up after.

The problem is not with steak, where serviceable cutlery is the norm. Its other meats where you are often left to your own devices. For instance I was at a higher end establishment tonight that's frequented by the more risk adverse types. (Not my usual but I'm on vacation.) I ordered pan fried duck breast. Not tough by any means but more then the standard knife was up to. I discreetly extracted my trusty GEC 73 GAW (courtesy of bloody_pawprints:thumbup:) and used it without incident. It looked quite elegant on the plate's edge. But yeah, with a big fixed blade or tactical folder might have ended differently...:eek:

+1, im in socal as well, and i only eat steak with my knife. Actually i was at a very hip ramen place yesterday(possibly full of young liberals) and i was cutting up a piece of pork to feed my baby using the same American Lawman in my picture above, and no one gave me weird look at all. Of course, i wasn't advertising my knife, just took it out, cut up the meat, wipe and put it back.
