Haven't been posting much lately; new job with lots of hours.

Had to buy new boring things for it, like a smaller bag to carry stuff in that would fit in the unbelievably tiny lockers they provide (like really, really tiny...even smaller than you are picturing now).

So where does the knife content come it?
Well, had to pick up mail (a package) on the way to work, and the box the stuff came in was way too big to fit in the tiny lockers, even with nothing else in it, so a knife was required to open it up and dispose of the packaging. This was done in a McDonald's, around lunchtime, and the place was packed with teenagers from the nearby high school on their lunch.

And no one cared about a knife being used, despite being in plain view, in a public place, because it was being used for something. :)

This has been your daily public service announcement regarding the internet rumours about hordes of "sheeple." If you are receiving negative knife attention, it may not be about the knife; it may be about you. :D
 
And it could be both...

I use my kershaw emerson to open slim jims all the time in public places. Haven't ever noticed a look.

Basically just have to be using it for something. :thumbsup:
Doesn't seem to matter if it's a task that 100% needs a knife; as long as you aren't just flicking it open and closed or looking at it with hungry eyes while muttering "My precioussssss", no one seems to care. ;)

Well yeah, THAT might have garnered some unwanted attention! :eek:
 
It could be both. I like carrying mid sized knives that some folks may find intimidating, especially if they are used to being around them. I agree though that folks can bring attention to themselves by acting silly.
 
Yep, I dont even blink when I need to use a knife for something. I just get it out and use it. If someone does gasp I'd keep using it...maybe intentionally longer than necessary.
 
I always use a knife to cut down straws at restraunts for my son. Never had any looks.

A couple of weeks ago I was working at a police station and used both manix and 0392 in front of an officer.

He didn't even mention the knives. I think he was happy I showed up on a Friday afternoon for a service call.

Good seeing you around stabman stabman

Good to hear, and good to be back. :)
Now I just have to get some knife photo shoots worth posting.

As a backup I can cobble together some random photos for a "Here's some pictures of knives with no theme" thread. :D

I want to see pics of you in the woods cooking a Sasquatch over a fire.

Here's hoping. :D

There was one time I was out camping with my brother, and we heard a bunch of coyotes howling. I told him "I hope they come here; we can spear one and cook it over the fire!" All of a sudden, the night was silent. :)

Maybe that's why evidence of Sasquatch is so hard to come by...they are delicious, and know that we'll eat them all if we find out where they are. :cool:
 
in my area, its legal to carry a huge ass knife on your belt, but its "frowned upon" so people don't, besides that i live in an overcrowded wall-to-wall metropolis. In my experience, its how you use the knife that will direct peoples eyes and their attention.
"to me"
a knife is a tool before it is a weapon, so i will always use my knives to cut everything in the universe, because I'm not using it violently or aggressively ill never get looks --- within reason of course, if you try to use a TOPS B.O.B to cut open a string cheese package you might confuse a few bystanders :p

Glad you have moved forward since you got your degree. I assume you have a car and could leave the box there or am I wrong? I agree that most people's reaction to knives is about YOU and not the knife. Been my experience for the most part. But you do have to be reasonable in your choices and not just be legal.

You eat monkey? I suspect Sasquatch would be in about the same league?;)
 
If I knew a Sasquatch, I'd make them a star. Sasquatch cooking shows. Sasquatch TV detectives. Sasquatch movies.... the list is endless.
