:D I love people like this, you help them out or do something for free for them and then they either complain about the free help, whine about something, or make you feel like a bad guy.
 
people are so brainwashed that knife=weapon/kill/stab.i see it all the time.i bought an old axe at a garage sale, people around got nervous,another commented not to kill anyone.this is how the average person is programmed.my friend just cut down a huge tree & i guess i was wrong in buying it to cut the wood up with. that civilian is the worst thing to pull out to the average person.unless its a spyderco ladybug or a chive, your a mass murderer.....
 
Have you ever used the plastic knife that came in the cellophane packet with the napkin and fork, rather than pulling out your EDC and enduring the questions and comments?
 
I've found that telling people how much your knife costs tends to make them less apprehensive.:)
I mean, who's going to stab someone with a $200 knife?
Tends to make people realize you're a collector type rather than a mass-murdering type.

:( I was forced to eat chicken breasts with one of the today, I made the comment that I ould like to see a combo edge on one so you could pierce the meat with the plain edge then tear with the serrated part, instead of just using the thing like a friggin hand saw. :rolleyes: then everyone got quiet.

That was a CS Black Sable. Great knife, horrible movie.
 
Whenever I show people I haven't met my knives I get something like,"What are you, afraid of people coming to kill you?" etc.
 
Only one time comes to mind. Many many years ago I worked at a travel agency and pulled out a SOG Stingray, the original one with the 2.75" blade, no thumb stud, just a plain, solid knife. The shape of the blade was just to much for some people to deal with.

The entire idea that some people would even wonder "why do you carry a knife?" is so alien, how could someone get so brainwashed and ignorant?
 
most knife assaults are done with kitchen knives, there was a recent incident on long island done by a moron with a small gerber ez out ,thats the 1st time ive seen any kind of pocket knife used in a stabbing that i can recall.
 
i worked at a sporting goods store in high school and i was a cashier. An airman was in buying a buck fixed blade and wanted to carry it out of the store and asked me to remove the plastic box so i obliged. i whipped out my CRKT M16-13SF (current work edc) in front of the store manager and removed the packaging and the airman went on his way.
my boss took me aside afterwards, in private mind you, and threatened to fire me on the spot. it was by no means pretty. appartenly my tip up tanto black bladed serrated knife made him uncomfortable....moron
 
Hah!

I was told that in Canada, the most popular implement for stabbing is a fork, and in second place, a screw driver.

Now, if you think about this for a second, the whole picture unfolds before your eyes. Scenario goes something like this:

Wife: "You lazy, good for nuthin' blah, blah blah, How many times have I told you dinner is at 6?! I can't believe how insensitive you are..."

Husband: (inevitably insensitive quip) and ....

Wife: {fork in hand} - stab! -

I've know people which have gotten stabbed by forks first hand but never a knife. Haven't really heard of anyone getting stabbed with a screwdriver in real life though unless you consider hitting yourself with one and getting cut (stupid cars+young age+impatients=me hurting myself...)
 
I once pulled out a Cold Steel Recon 1 Tanto at the store I worked at and the customer I was helping and he put the knife he was looking at back on the counter and stepped back. Now i don't think he was scared becuase of the knife but just joking around but still it was funny.
 
i bought an ax at Walmart and the checkout guy said, good evening miss are you going to dismember someone tonight? I said I am considering it! He said be careful the blood leaves a lot of evidence and the cops can detect it. I said that's why I do it in the woods so the ground soaks it up. He just looked at me like, maybe she really does do that.

he thought he was taking the conversation right to the edge of the line, then you jumped right over.

well done. but dont call me when those csi goofballs show up with their blacklights and ir cameras. :p
 
Just two hours ago I was at the store shopping with my wife and child. My kid got a small toy. I took out my Busse GW to cut the zip ties on it. On the way out, we discovered the toy was broken. So I took it back to the customer service desk to exchange it. I grabbed another, and checked to make sure it worked. While talking to the employee switching it out, my kid asked me to open it for him. I took out my GW and cut the zip ties. The clerk exclaimed "I am pretending I did not see that" I thought she was talking about opening the toy before I left the store. then she said "you are scaring me".

The GW has a 3 inch blade. You can't get much less threatening than the GW.
It is the second one down, with the satin blade and the orange/black handle with glow in the dark dots in the flared handle rivets. Good thing I did not use a big folder, or the SS above it.

Well, BigFattyHog, I suppose that's better than "being scared". I mean, she at least pretended not to see it....to avoid being scared. Hmmmm...better than nothing.

Jill, you should've asked him if he wanted to come along...... hehehe
