"Why do you carry a weapon? This isnt grand theft auto"
Someone said this to my while catching a glance of my PM2 on my pocket. I found it kinda funny.

Whats some funny things non knife people have said about your tools?
 
I always get the classic "dang, how many people did stab with that?". The funniest one was a few years ago when a coworker couldn't cut a piece of cardboard with his knife and I helped him with my Military. Of course the Military zipped right through the cardboard and he said something like "whoa that's a serial killer's knife!" I'm not sure what he meant since serial killers wouldn't use a pocket knife, but I smiled and said "yeah, I cut cardboard during the day and people by night." I hope he knew I was joking....
 
I only paid $15 for mine and it has teeth at the bottom of the blade
 
"Why do you carry a knife?" followed shortly by "Can I cut this with your knife?".
I then ask "Why don't you carry a knife?" they follow with, while using mine "I don't need one".

"God that's sharp!" Uhhh... no, really?...

I showed this girl my pocket knives and she says: "What one are you going to kill me with?"
I followed that with "None, I wouldn't want to get your nasty blood all over my pretty blades".
 
"Hey, let me use your knife". I use to let friends or family use my knife but when I let a friend use my knife and he handed it back to me after trying to cut a steel braided cable, I quit loaning my knives.
 
Somebody asked me why I was carrying my Bravo 2.

Me: "Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Could you loosen up the cuffs just a bit?"
 
"Ohhhh, he's got a weapon!"... as I show them the 2 inch blade they just asked to see.
 
Haha, well there's a whole thread about that a few posts down...seems like kitchen knives are the serial killers knife of choice, next to foam swords.

True, and sadly, it doesn't seem to reverberate with the lawmakers much. I imagine that the number of violent crimes committed with balisongs each year could be counted on one hand (okay, maybe two), but kitchen knives and screwdrivers? Yipes.
 
It's very funny when they ask how much it cost's haha!

Yeah, you got that right. The conversation usually finishes with:

"How much somethin' like that run you?"

"Ninety bucks." (or whatever).

"What?! Wow. Well, it's nice."

I always find it fascinating that people don't bat an eye at spending $50 for dinner at a restaurant a couple times a month, $20-25 for a movie and snacks, $15+ for a couple beers, or $5 a day for some sugary coffee mess and then flinch when I mention the price of my knife. Priorities, people! Do you want to cut stuff in style or not?!
