Ever try to fold your fixed?

[RogueBowie]

If there's a knife in my pocket, it's ALWAYS a folder. All of my fixed blades usually stay on my shelf until I'm headed into the woods or playing with them/sharpening and maintaining them. However, I just got a BK14 Eskabar and when I'm around the house it's been what's in my pocket.

So today I was playing with my daughter in the backyard and I stopped to cut down some rope from when my girlfriend hung something up last week and when I went to put my Eskabar back into my pocket I totally forgot it was a fixed blade and found my fingers absentmindedly groping for a frame lock or lockback to close it with. Almost as soon as I looked down to find out what the problem was I instantaneously realized I was an idiot .

Anyone else ever do this? Fess up so I can feel like I'm not the only airhead.

Yeah, fessing up. Done it.

Will do it again, as long as I carry fixed and folders.

Which will be a lifetime, I think.

Just like driving an automatic when you are used to a standard.

+1!! My first car was a manual and for a couple years after getting an automatic I would go to put it in gear when lights turned green.
