And still no one cares...

I used my Endura 4 to cut the banding on some pickets at Lowes. The slack-jawed millennial "help" gave me the "OOOH if it ain't Crocodile Dundee!" routine.

Would have been fun to come back with something about wondering "if he ain't the mouthbreather in the movie
Idiocracy"
 
Jeez, stores like home depo's and lowes ought to required their help to have a knife of some kind.
 
i work in a school cafeteria & i regularly use a bm 490 to cut tape, break down boxes, etc..... i’ve never had anyone look a me funny or question my use of the knife, even though i’m technically not supposed to have it there. then again, i don’t flash it around or show it off. it comes out of my pocket, cuts what needs to be cut, then disappears from whence it came.

like others have said, i think that a lot of how people react is directly related to how you show, use your knife. although there’s always the possibility of running into someone that’ll be offended and/or freaked out by even the smallest, least threatening blade. and for that i don’t think there’s much of anything you can do other than just keep living your life on your terms and not let them bring you down.

Had that one time somewhere I worked. Was opening a box of chemicals with what I thought of as a small knife; she thought it looked like a huge weapon. I used it as an opportunity to ask what sort of knife she would have considered to be a right size; it is a chance to learn what other people think.

She still thought it was a tad odd to be carrying a knife (neither her father or grandfather had carried one), but she also saw my carrying a knife as carrying around a tool after that. :)
 
Then you have the people that can't tell the difference between a switchblade and an AO folder and, of course, they just know about your evil intentions with that knife. Evil because no right-minded person would ever carry a knife on their person. So, you plan to do them bodily harm. Why else would you carry a knife?

After all, no one needs a knife in these modern times. You have EZ Open packaging...

I am down to two AO knives because of people like that and I rarely carry them.
I don't need the drama people like that can cause when they decide to spin up. True, I could go quite a while before it happens but, I have better things to do with my time than explain to a Peace Officer that my knife is perfectly legal and I don't own a switchblade or a gravity knife. Even though this "expert" told the Officer otherwise.

Millennial here

Usually when I'm skipping my sissy ass to my safe space I have something like this in my pocket. The scary metal shirts I wear are sometimes a little much for the usual crowd there ;)

Related to topic. I always busted out my new knives at work and I got compliments all the time. Even people who weren't coworkers commented on how cool and unique my knives are. So I guess it all depends on the person

It even resembles a straight razor, with the deep hollow grind and the not-too-pointy tip.

razor knife, for 'safety'
Only type allowed, he said.:rolleyes:

Yeah, I've seen those. Personally, I think they are a solution to a non-existent problem. Sure, they'll save a few people from getting cut but, they are a pain to use. I find that they slow down my efficiency, too. Maybe I am not used to them. I might get faster if I used one all the time.
 
Me and my friend are so dumb. We compare our recent acquisitions at the bar, in plain view of cops and other patrons.
