Coworkers Knife

[BladeScout]

I have here at the office, a Wegner Ranger sumthing sumthing which has the very same kind of lock. Quite handy. You unlock the linner lock by pressing the button with the swedish cross on the right side of the scales. Helps getting your fingers away from the blade path.

Big knife, I don't carry it that much because it is bulkier and heavier than my other Victorinox SAKs, that's why it lives in the office.

Those Swedes at 'Wegner' makes a mean knife though

This is why I'm never bothered by branding on a pocket clip, I would even say I like it.
Before I was into high-end knives I had a $50 SOG Trident I was super proud of, as to me it was a "nice knife" at the time.
I had a guy approach me about it when he spotted the clip, as he also had a SOG, and we talked a bit and checked out each others knives.
Was a cool experience to have as I don't have any knife friends and always feel like a weirdo showing off knives to people who don't get it.

Exactly. Have seen the dude a few times since and first thing said....what’re you carrying??

My coworker wanted to show me his old, ugly, barely together knife that’s been rolling around his toolbox for years.


Look at this thing, no thumb stud, half of a pivot and the blade play was unreal. The only interesting thing was the locking mechanism. It was a liner lock that was actuated by the red ball/button. We had a good laugh about it and it was, ultimately, a fun and positive exchange. Kinda helps you remember that not everyone is a knife nut, right?

Guy likes his knife and uses it. Why laugh?

Either be glad he is not complaining about you carrying a knife, or gift him a RAT or Kabar Dozier.

I never said he liked it. I was scrolling on my phone while flipping my new knife open and closed. He saw it and ask if I had a “thirst for knives”. When I told him I did he brought that back shortly and showed it to me. He said something along the lines of how it was junk. It was a joke and laugh situation. Where I work, ball busting is rampant and a part of the everyday routine.

Hey why take the Ferrari on a trip to the dumps?

Heck, a knifes a tool ...right one for the job and all that....and everyone needs a beater sometimes, eh?

I can honestly say..... that I've pulled a nice knife out of my pocket and then thought twice about using it to dig around on something that was going to trash it. And lets not even discuss going through the TSA line at the airport.......
