......to eat with?
Not ALL the time, but alot of the time? Or am I simply the "uncultured swine" most of my friends (and wife) refer to me as when I use my pocket knife as a eating utensil.
I am not talking about the working pocket knife you depend on when out on a nasty ass deck of an off shore oil rig, doing a sub sea completion. I am talking about the nice one you really take care of and carry when simply out and about with family and friends.
 
Yup...Sunday in fact. Took a nice long hike across hills, thru valleys and portions up and then down stream. Had food but no other utensil.

Worked just fine...as it always does.
 
Modded an opinel to eat at school.

Cuts better, is cooler and is more echological than those crappy polystyren knives.
 
I have been known to use my pocket knife when the alternative was not cutting it, or when there wasn't one. My wife hates it, but i keep it clean, and sharp. (not my deer skinning knife, mind you)
 
Back in the 1980s I often used my Opinel #8 in restaurants if it was sharper than the knife they supplied.... wouldn't risk such a thing in present-day pc kewl Stazi-raddled Brittanistan though.
 
Yup, have got two or three nice ones I only carry when going out to eat where I might have to cut food. One is a nice little MOP handled Case and another is a Parker Damascus with Honey Bone handles and last but not least is my Queen Trapper with nice Sambar Stag handles.
And once in a great while in addition to the pocket knife I will carry a smaller fixed blade like a Spydie Moran or similar. I have never seen anyone looking at me strange when using either one.
Maybe it's because of where I live.:thumbup: :cool: :D

It is not pointy so it's not scary, but still it is razor sharp :)

(By the way, it is not hamon, it is a little rust: carbon steel)
 
Frequently. Mrs. Uplander declared me an uncivilized beast a long time ago.

Didn't realize "Hobo" knives were still around, have to get one.

Was in the local shoe shop a while back, showing off a sheath I'd made for my Biltong. Got a "sheeple" look from a woman that walked in. Told her it is a "peanut-butter spreader" specially curved to reach into all grooves & corners of the jar. Walt [shop owner] 'bout blew a gasket trying to hold in laughter.
After thinking about it I'm kind of disturbed tho. We're mountain folk around here. Not unusual at all to see someone in town with a belt knife a few open carry handguns. Higher percentage of veterans to population than anywhere else. 'Bout every family has a hunter or two. That outlander attitude is so out of place.

Neat! I found them very close to home too...would like to get about 5.

Some SKS knife place thing...gotta check with Spark to see if they are a sponsor or not.
 
Certainly! You don't know where other knives have been:eek:

I use a stag handled Weidmannsheil lockback that I'm trying to get more patina on, so eating out allows it to develop a bit more:D And when visiting friends.

Despite sheeple paranoia, I discovered that they CAN be made to like and accept knives.At a work cheese&wine evening, the kitchen cutlery was so hopeless that I took out my Case Sodbuster Jr to slice cheese and then everybody wanted to borrow the razor sharp little pocket knife.I had to watch that somebody didn't make off with it! The yellow handle and ergonomics won a lot of praise:thumbup:
