Took my father to Costco for a hearing test appointment. We get there and the technician is a young woman probably early 20s. I go in the sound proof booth with them and wait while she does the testing. About 30 minutes in I'm getting bored. I notice a box of Kleenex next to me (not what you're thinking) and grab one. I pull out my knife that I got at a yard sale over the weekend and start to clean it. All of a sudden the girl gasps and says "OMG put that away I don't feel safe!" (I s*** you not). I think she's joking so I start laughing. She starts hyperventilating and I thought she was about to cry. So I said calm down I'll put it away. She asks me to please leave so I shrug and go look at big screen tv's while the land-whale finishes the tests. Here is the offending knife:

Teach your kids some kind of handcraft. Then they‘ll have a sane relation to tools.

Had a friend of my little sister pull out a key to slice open a bag of coals for barbeceue with such naturalness, that i can only assume he‘s never seen it done any other way.

Given this observation, I didn‘t pull out my Vic Cadet for fear that one of her friends would react similarly to your technician.
 
My goodness! What a fearful weapon you've got there!

But seriously, I can understand why you assumed she was joking.

Im done with Costco. they don't have a "Safe" place to retreat to in these instances? are you kidding me? You know at BJs they have these wonderful "safe" rooms that are padded so you don't bruise your tender thin skin and inside are TVs that play endless loops of Barney and a big pile of pacifiers and blankies. even basic members can use them. I would switch today . and shame on you for what you did to that poor woman. lucky they didn't call the cops on you thug.
 
Cool knife, by the way.
I got a similar reaction to the little P-38 military can opener on my keychain. A woman saw that and said, "That would make a good weapon." Your knife is a WMD by comparison.
 
I think I'd have let her have a panic attack. I don't begin to understand modern fear of a simple tool given regular context. Part of the problem is knife folks keep catering to them instead of telling them to get bent and find a safe space to crawl into.
 
People have their fears. I have seen a big muscular macho man vomited when he saw a tiny surgical blade in hospital.

Where is it?
 
Got the opposite reaction...
Our church had a beach baptism several years ago. I was helping the jr hi and hi school kids grill up hotdogs for the dinner after the baptism. I used my Spyderco Bug to open a pack of hot dogs. One of the jr hi girls exclaimed quite loudly "What a cute knife!"
