Had a family get together in Napa yesterday for my mothers birthday, and was a little unsure how appropriate it would have been to bring a 5" folding knife like my sog spec elite. Early on in the day my grandma saw me use my leatherman squirt to open some packaging, and after that I was probably asked 5 different times to cut something open. When it came time to slice a french baguette, focaccia loaf, and several fine cheeses for sandwich making, no other knife could be found, and my uncle remarked that my leatherman couldn't do the job. To that I replied that I may in fact have a larger knife on me and removed the sog from my back pocket, opened it slowly then handed it over. I didn't know what reactions to expect from my uncle (who happens to be a priest), and other extended family at such a large tactical looking knife. I was pleasantly surprised when I received nothing but compliments on the knife as they used it to effortlessly complete the before mentioned tasks, my grandpa even said it was a beautiful knife 
. Once it was time to eat they were having some trouble closing the knife, so I retieved my knife then used the arc lock to quickly flip the knife closed after which my uncle called me a showoff 
. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch then continued on to the next wine tasting location :thumbup:
