I just saw an old freind whom i woulndt call non knife but it doesnt know much past SOG and i flicked out my PM2 and he asked if it was an auto. I guess anything comes out quicker then a person can blink is immediately considered an auto by non knife people

Sounds right to me haha
 
A lady at work said "Your going to hurt someone with that." When she saw my PM2.

The funniest part is that she sees me every day, with several sharp tools on my belt, that I use on the job.

:rolleyes:

Then she asked if she could look at it (the pm2) so I handed it to her and she says " it's so big, it looks like an army knife or something."

One of my other co workers ( also a knife guy) and I both just laughed.
 
Ahhhhh! Switch blade!!! Knife fighter ahhhhh!!!- after I show my grandpa my kershaw scallion.
My grandma on the OTHER side of the family liked my spyderco tenatious, so I handed it to her and she tried pressing the pivot screw like it was a button. And she had seen me open it before
My friend and I were bike riding and his shoe lace got stuck in the chain. I took out my spyderco endura and cut it for him and he said "wow that was fast, how did it go through that quick?"
 
NKP - "Hey, let me use your knife." Me - "What for?" NKP - "Need to cut some stuff." Me - "No." Not that funny, my it amuses me.

Heard too many stories of idiots cutting brick, metal, wires or other things like that, I wont hand my knife over to anyone with out a few questions, then I watch them the whole time. Not going to let someone jack up my knife, Ive said No plenty of times or say, ok I want my knife back now.
 
Did you get that knife at Wal Mart? :rolleyes:

(Looking at a Spyderco Military or CRK ZAAN)
 
My favorite is when I take mine out to cut something and someone says "DON'T CUT YOURSELF!!!".

Oh, thanks, if you hadn't said that I might have cut a finger off....
 
My wife's dad: You know you can go to jail for having a switchblade!
My wife: It's not a switchblade dad, It's a Spyderco

She's a good woman.

Sis: what do you do with all those knives?
Me: some I buy to use, some I buy as investments, I always have a knife on me.
Sis: you don't hang them on the wall?


I got cut at work and needed stitches, the following exchange took place in the ER...
Nurse: Oh dear, where did I put my scissors? Hey, does anyone have any scissors? Oh dear, how am I going to cut this gauze?
Me: I have a knife you can use.
Nurse: Yes, thank you. Oh dear, that's big. Why do you carry a knife? Ok, now how do I close it?

Griptillian was my work knife at the time.

This is another big one I get. It frustrates me because I'm going to college for mechanical engineering, and other people in engineering can't figure out how a simple locking mechanism works.

That's says a lot for today's educational system. ;)
 
One time i lent my kershaw crown out to someone to cut some cardboard and i stupidly assumed this person knew how to use a knife. He then cut the base of his thumb pretty bad and blamed me because my knife was "too sharp" The person even threatened me with a lawsuit so from now on i never lend out my knives unless its another knife guy/gal. If someone needs something cut I tell them to give it to me and i will do it

Yeah, I gave a frame lock to my uncle as a gift and had to show him how to close it.
He was pretty impressed that I gave him a H&K, however.
 
I was in a local jewelry store that carried William Henry knives and talking with one of the clerks. We were comparing our own folders and looking at the William Henrys at the same time. A woman came up, her demeanor was pleasant enough, and admitted to liking the artistry of the WH knives but stated that she could not think of a single reason we would need to carry a knife. On top of that she said she thought most men carried knives because of their adolescent desire to have weapons to fight with. I will admit, that at 58 years old I still have a few adolescent leanings, hopefully tempered by experience, but I did have to let her know she was a little naive in her thinking. Mike

This one reminded me of when I was at this Halloween Party and these country boys were playing with a cheap POS Smith and Wesson. It was ridiculously shaped, had horrid serrations, and was spring assisted. They were talking about knives and how $35 was a good price for that Smith and Wesson. I went over and pulled out my Large Sebenza. They all oohed and ahhed over it for a minute and one boy says "This one's spring assisted, is yours?" I said "No, I don't need it to be, it opens fast enough, and it's my favorite." Well another boy says "That one is REALLY nice!! Is that a Kershaw?!"

I stared at him a minute and slowly replied "No... it's a Chris Reeve Large Sebenza.. You should look them up sometime if you like them."

If he ever looked them up I'm pretty sure he would have to take a double take when looking at the price lol.

I have explained the concept of assisted knives and how they differ from automatics to my brother over and over. The worst part is he is a knife guy (at least he collects them) and an engineer. Life is just not fair that I got the good looks and the smarts.

I didn't get a comment just a look of fear until I closed it and put it away. Someone needed to open a plastic bag of food at a team get together for the kids. Out of 24 adults no one could muster a cutting device. The dude that could not rip the bag open then asked loudly for a pair of scissors because everyone carries those. One pseudo-man offered a bottle cap which was attempted.

I held up my mini grip to the bag dude for him to use. He held the bag up to me to open for him. I slowly opened it with my thumb instead of the usual flip. His eyes were glued to me until I finished opening a bunch of stuff quickly handed my way and slipped it back in my pocket. It was weird...for him. :D
