Bored on a hump day afternoon and figured i'd share a few moments which i've become slightly uncomfortable for being an EDC'R which led to sheeple gasping and standing back as if i raped a small child with the blunt end of a crayon :(

incident one , basketball court 2 1/2 paraframe gerber gets swiped from my waistband by defender and flung onto the court lol i didnt skip a beat after picking it up and replacing it but the court stopped in dead silence ,

this was at a decently competative court in predominatly white neighborhood..
me being just a traveling baller stopped off to get a game.. the fact i'm chicano and have full leg sleeve tattoos and my torso and upper arms are covered didnt help me there :(

another incident i was standing in line at taco bell and dug in the bottom of my pocket for some change and accidently pulled up my protech stinger and it fell out of my hand while trying pick some pennies and depolyed when it hit the tile floor .. once again the sheeple gave me odd looks whispers and stood back :) this time i was in a work apparall slacks and nice polo shirt :)

3rd time just this past weekend ,
picture day for my daughter , while making goo goo sounds and trying to get my daughters attention squating behind the photographer my ka-bar folder slipped off my belt and onto the picture people's floor .. once again a few customers the person snapping the pictures and another employee all eyeballed me as some convicted criminal that dry humped the pope on easter sunday :(

any stories to share ? felel free to add ,

if i've wasted 2 minutes of your life just let me know and i'll go stone my self and drowned in a shallow pool of lemon juice :(

happy humpday
 
Sounds like you have some issues with gravity!

Anytime I'm in earshot of someone and I open my Colt M-16-K or SOG Flash II I always hear the neck snap of whoever is next to me... It doesn't bother me... be affraid, be very affraid:D
 
I get it all the time, carry a BM 630 or even up to a 5"fixed. Pulled mine out one day at a loading dock to cut some card board. Three black guys there, all three step back, one says you from the country? I said yes, he then says you gut anything with that, I said sometimes. Few minutes later of slicing up cardboard he says sure is sharp too. I just smiled and said yup. None of them would come close to the crazy white boy.
 
on the 4th i dropped my strider DB into my foot while cutting some cherry pie. everyone thought it was really funny and ironic because i'm always playing with knives.

i thought it was really painful, and there is some ligament damage.

be more careful, everyone.
 
Haven't had much reaction from pulling my knives out as long as they are folders. I carry a few different styles and sizes over time but usually in the 3 or 4 inch blade range. Even at work in an uptight corporate setting it seems to not cause panic. However bring out a fixed blade, even a small one and people seem to pull back, so as much as I would like to EDC a small fixed blade, I leave 'em at home. OK for camping type outings though.

Some things might be bigger in Texas, but carry knives are restricted in size. :thumbdn:
 
Ouch Midget. Nasty wound, and hope it heals up well. I just had an incident yestderday fishing. Sliced through my thumb...about 1.5 inches long, about a quarter inch deep. Stupid, stupid thing I did...was cutting towards the body. Luckily, it's only flesh and no connective tissue. Lesson learned.
 
Oh yeah, I should also mention I left the knife behind as I was in a frantic hurry to pack up my gear. Now that's embarrassing...
 
"another employee all eyeballed me as some convicted criminal that dry humped the pope on easter sunday"

I about spit up my dr pepper on that one----lolololololol

Geez. That must have hurt. Managed to slice open the end of my left thumb with a Paraframe I last summer, in front of a large audience. Still feels a little numb in spots when I pressure it. I figure there was some nerve damage.

Ditto. Be careful out there, folks.
 
Two incidents come to mind, both while EDCing a Gerber Covert:

First one, I'm helping a friend pack up a rental truck witha couple other guys. Friend is tying something off, says, "Quick, anyone got a knife to cut this rope?" Without thinking, I flip the covert out and cut the rope before anyone else moves - and then they all jumped! "Where'd that come from? Did you have that all along?" Geesh! He asked me to do it!

Second, a colleague at work (university) asks if I can open a package for him. He asks cuz he knows I always have a knife, and he's holding the package towards me. Again, without thinking, I flip open the Covert, and he jumps about a foot back, and squeaks, "Whoa! That's a huge knife!" "It is?" says I, thinking of the knives I carried before the Covert. Good thing he never noticed them!

So while I still EDC a knife or three, I am real careful about how quickly I open them around non-knife folk.

BTW, my friend in the first incident, he went out the next week and got himself a Covert and started practicing!
 
Hey, Savage, you're a Chicano and you eat at Taco Bell???

They should take away your card, man!!!!!

Hope you have better taste in knives. Throw away that Paraframe -- that would be a good start.

lol yeah sad i know but if its any consolation i was just there on my lunch break getting cinnamin twists lol serious , though i can stomach a crunchy taco ..

the paraframe is a small knife i only carry for basketball play, for obvious reasons now .. it can be dropped thrown and rub on my salty sweaty ballz and i wont care lol
 
I think the worst time was when my balisong trainer fell in the bus (balis are illegal here, the trainer is like a toy). I was wearing a big leather trenchcoat (Blade's style) and black shade, having long hair with it, I may have looked a little psycho, plus the knife did not open, so people never knew if it was a real one (they probably tought it was a real one).

Happened to me too to have a knife in the same pocket than my money, wich is unusual. I just felt the sweet wood of my Opinel and told myself: "No, don't take that out, you can't pay with that!" funny.


Another funny one, I was going to a bar when the doorman saw me, and since, like I told, I have long hair and am usually dressed in black (but not a Goth) he chose me for a "random" pocket check. "I will have to confiscate your knife if you want to get in..." That wasn't my Camillus Heat, I did not have it yet, it was a SAK classic. A CLASSIC!!! I think we can call him a hell of a Sheeple.

Oh and just yesterday, we were taking an inventory in a drugstore (well, this is a boring job, but it's only during my studies, before I get a REAL work :P), the guy next to me had to count stuff in boxes. Those usually are in the warehouse, far from customers. So he asked me if I had a knife. The cutter I usually I usually have in my pockets during job had disappear. "Do you have a knife on you yes or no" I had a Camillus Maxx in my pocket, but I don't really want the customers, a bunch of oldies, to see it. I don't really care about it, but my boss does. So once again, the little SAK classic did the job.
 
Our church is currently meeting in a middle school. I'm on the setup team so it gives me an excuse to wear a knife to church. We had communion this particular Sunday an the Pastor says during setup we need a knife or scissors and then he notices me and asks for my knife. I never knew he even noticed it. Well of course what do I have but a switchblade (actually a Kershaw Leek). I open it and he doesn't bat an eye - just takes it then cuts some plastic. Then for some reason he gives it to an older gentleman to cut the rest of the plastic. The guy hands the knife back to me handling it like it was a bomb it something. I managed to keep a straight face, but still wonder if the Pastor is a knife guy.
 
My EDC has a butterfly on the blade, so it's harmless by default.

I guess I'm lucky, very few people have ever freaked out over my knives, most are actually interested. I encountered a police officer at work one day who noticed the clip of my knife. He asked about it, and I showed it to him... in return, he let me play with his auto Benchmade and we had a nice conversation about knives.

I have a DB and it must have sucked for pie. Unless you wanted to smash it. Only blade on ya or what?? :rolleyes:

Seriously though, sorry to see it landed pointy end down.

Rat's right. I'm from TO as well and they can carry a Battle Mistress in plain view downtown. Legally. But I wouldn't.

So maybe in Texas the laws are more strict, but the society isn't?
