So sad. I think that comment is the equivalent to referring to every pistol as a Glock in the firearm world.

Funny thing...Asking someone while on Active Duty was a common question:

"Hey, you got your Gerber on ya?"...or..."Lemme see your Gerber"...etc...

Of course, this meant any Leatherman/Kershaw/Gerber/Victorinox/SOG type multi-tool. No idea how that evolved.

The other day a friend of mine won a pocket knife at a raffle...then referred to it as an "internal locker" as he was showing it to everyone. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was a cheap knockoff with a flimsy liner lock...just couldn't do it, he was so proud of it.
 
One day at work a customer had an issue with his cell phone batter being stuck in his phone and he could not get it out. We was trying to pry it open when I walked in the door. He asked if I had a knife he could use. At this point I didn't know what he wanted it for so I handed him my Delica 4. He started to try and pry out the batteries. I stopped him immediately and said not to pry with my blade or he could snap the tip off. Instead I handed him a Juice S2 and said he could use the larger flat head to pry with. A few seconds later he got the job done and thanked me. Then he said
"why in gods name do you carry a knife and a multi tool around"?
So I said
"your joking right"?
To which he replied
"no, I just don't get it. When would you ever need all that stuff you carry"?
 
" Why do you cut so many random things? paper, string, plates, wood, etc? " I replied, " Because, I'm like a cat but more dangerous. " That was all I had for this post though, A person I know asked me that, On A side note I have yet to have a stranger come up to me and comment about anything, let alone a blade and let alone it be a negative comment from a person without a blade themselves. Probably because it is new york, haha. Edit: Maybe cats don't even tear things up but I'm pretty sure they do.. I'm more of a dog person anyhow. :foot:
 
Mine isn't really what people say to me, but what they try to give me to make a knife out of. They are very Generous offers but they just haven't a clue. Some things folks have gave me are:
Exhaust hangers.
A piece of steel off a truck frame.
Counter weights in old windows.
Ball joint stud.
A-arm off car.
The list goes on and on. I do appreciate the gestures but sometimes it is kinda funny. :0)
 
"*blank stare*...*
thats what i get lol..

I also had a friend who found a near mint Ti milli and he was going to sell it at a yard sale and threw it in a bin that said 5$.. I couldnt let him do it i just couldnt.. i made him put it back in his pocket and then explained a new one cost around 200$.. now he wants to keep it because he feels lie a "Rich guy" lol
 
At work: Why do you need so much tools on you? (PM2, VX classic, Olight S10 baton and a Leatherman Juice)
Half an hour later I was fixing the door frame of the shop that came loose. They all looked at me and I just smiled back.
 
At Walmart, this guy was looking for a knife with his buddies.
Me: What purpose are you getting a knife for?
Him: Just to have on me at all times. (EDC, I figure)
Me: Check out these (some Kershaw, SOG and Buck knives)
Him: No offense but I don't want cheapy stuff, I'm looking for top quality. (Checks out Camillus Carnivore and Gerber knives showing his buddies saying "This is as good as it gets.")

Word??
 
Men have been using cutting tools before they mastered the use of fire. It's pitiful how on one hand they will ridicule you for having a tool, and then a minute later they are struggling with a task that requires it. I see people like this as being dumber than cave men. They have tools available, but they are too stupid to get a knife for themselves or use one properly.

"Is this thing sharp?" Usually asked as they are running their finger down the edge, an instant before they partially sever it. :rolleyes: I'd love to reply, "Well, I guess you just answered your own question...":D

That's the one thing I don't get about people who don't carry knives. Who told them to run their finger down the edge, and why would thst person not tell them that they'd get cut? It's like giving someone a sharp stick and their first inclination is to fall on it. I've never seen anyone but an old timer check an edge this way, and these people don't even know what they're looking for.:rolleyes:
 
Seeing as how everything comes in those damn plastic blister packs, it doesn't take long to prove that having a knife is convenient or even necessary.
