Are you "the knife guy"?

[B.F.U]

I got several lady's to get Pioneer SAK. I believe every one should at least have a solid basic SAK.

Heheh as do I. I've bought my last few girlfriends SAKs. Also bought an ex a Squeak, which I believe she still carries, and I got a matching set of engraved Ladybugs for my girlfriend and me.

No, I'm not "the knife guy," because I'm a high school teacher, and I mostly keep it on the down-low. I carry my SAK every day, and even that knife pushes the boundaries of what is acceptable in a school. Anything other than a small pocket knife could be considered a weapon. Making and collecting knives exists in a completely different universe than most academic people occupy.

I am under similar work place safety perception constraints. I find this mildly amusing as I have carried a pocket knife for 40 plus years. I think that if I was going to hurt anyone, it would have happened long ago. I see a SAK as a tool, the public often sees a weapon. Although I actually know some women in responsible work positions that carry a key ring knife for self protection. It's all about perception I suppose.

You're right--it's all about perception. I keep a 10-inch kitchen knife in my desk for special occasions like classroom parties, potlucks, etc., and I've never been questioned about that. I could do far more damage with that knife than I could with my SAK. Then again, I could probably do more damage with a lot of items in my classroom.
