For want of a knife...

I just watched a segment of Today on NBC.

The segment dealt with the wonders of modern packing: blister packs, al-foil drink packs, toys in boxes with parts sewn or cable-tied to the box to keep it in place, packets of snacks and other stuff.

One part talked about the craziness of the entire situation. I can't remember the entire sequence, but I kept thinking that all they needed was one of us knife knuts and everything would be fine. We'd whip out one of our favourite EDCs and voila! the situation would be solved.

For want of a knife... :) If the situation continues, pretty soon, we knife carrying folks would be the elite, ruling class. Non-knife folks would be unable to access all the wonders of our modern world. Bwahahahaha! :D:D:D

As long as we're going to take over the world, I call title "Lord Emperor Knife Guy!" :D
 
I agreee about modern packaging. I used to carry a cheap SAK knockoff and didn't know how to sharpen it. I went through hell every time I encountered a blister pack. Then I bought a Leatherman Micra, which cut beautifully through the first blister pack before going dull. I now carry a Seb or BG-42 Buck 110, and cut the blister packs for every one I know.

Who does family call Santa at Christmas? The guy who can get their toys out of the package. :)
 
EMT shears are still my favourite blister pack killer...

I get a kick out of watching people try to open things with their teeth. I usually let them keep at it a while before I offer to open it for them (I used to hand them a knife but that ended up with too many injuries to both them and my knives!)

Funny you should mention that. When it comes to knives, my mom is one of the few that doesnt get all bent out of shape over them. She is a little women who thinks the bigger the knife the better :) Boy she does love her Spyderco. However, some of my family members are a bit different. After watching one open a present and tear and wrestle with the pakage until it finally gives and half the contents go sailing across the room, they will finally hand stuff to me to cut it out. However, even though they hand it to me, as soon as my knife comes out some of them get all bug-eyed and gasp. "Geez, be careful!!!" or "Wow, put that away"...excpet for mom who says "ohh, isnt that pretty" :D
