Funny things non knife people say.

Work colleague - "How much was that?"
Me - "$-X"
Him - "Hmph - I'd rather just sharpen an old hacksaw blade, would work just as well"

Yeh, that would be comfortable in my pocket.

Same guy, first time he see's me sharpening a knife with my Wicked Edge. He watches for a while then says - "That's way to time consuming. Why dont you just put it on a grinder?"

A ballistic knife is a knife that has a powerful spring inside the handle. The Russian Spetsnaz (army special forces) is famous for having them. Some have a safety pin like a grenade. Flip the switch, and the blade flies out.

In AZ we can have ballistic knives. And carry a gun without a permit. Or carry it openly. And being a Class II/III state, you can own supressed machine guns and sawed-off shotguns if you want (and pay the tax stamps).

But you can't own nunchucks. Because that's just too dangerous.

Laughs.

Thanks for the explain about ballistic knives, i unknow this type of knife.
 
I think ill have to move to Arizona and now i want one of those ballistic knives I would sit there shooting cardboard for hours :D am I the only one who would?
 
I am fortunate to be allowed to carry all sorts of cool stuff daily and when someone asks me why I have them, I say very flatly: In case I have to cut something, that is what knives are for.

And you don't tell a lie, really. You have to cut anything, and you use the knife for this purpose. ;)
 
I am the manager at a mailing center. One of my customers comes in and says "Please open this for me". As I pulled out my kershaw leek to open said package, I get "Is that your weapon"? in a rude accusatory manor suggesting I am a criminal. I responded "No ma'am only the tool I intended to open your package with". I made her wait 5 minutes until i could "find" the same "weapon" that was used in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Well done.
 
People love to ask how much and then attempt to talk down to me after learning the price. As if I spent their money on it. Luckily I don't carry knives to impress people. I also hear "do you have a knife?" a lot. I just laugh. And of course my buddy's say I look dumb carrying multiple knives or that their not scared of a knife. They just see a weapon where I see a tool.
 
Here's a conversation that took place the other day. A few boxes had plastic straps on them and the supervisor needed to open them.

Supervisor-" Gary, you have a knife on you? Mine is pretty dull, makes it hard to cut these straps."
Me- "Sure do as I hand him my Delica 4."
Supervisor- " cool, that's one of those spyder knives, how much was it?"
Me-" I don't really remember, like 60-70 bucks"
Supervisor- "Oh my god, I'd never pay that for a knife"
Me- "why not"?
Supervisor- " because my 10$ knife works just fine"
Me- forehead slap

Working, i need my "knife". Search in the bag, extract it for the sheath and open it...my coworker shout me "where do you go with this? Do you want to kill anybody, or what?"
I carried my Vic Swisstool. Yes, the multitool, i required the screwdriver. I don't think that will say when he watch my folding knives...

Watching Storage Wars. Jarrod and Brandy buy a storage locker and find there's a small collection of bayonets inside. Brandy: "This guy must have been a psychopath!"
 
My wife- who is a cook- why do you need to carry knives?

Me- with out knives babe you would be no where. You would probably not be alive right now.

My wife- how do you figure?

Me- with out the invention of a sharp edge our ansesters would not have been able to feed them selves, no surgery, no wood, no food, no clothing, no car, no gas, no cell, and I then explained that literally everything she owned either had a sharp edge or was made in some way or another using a sharp edge.

She tried arguing her point still, in the end it turned out with her saying that she will never ask to use my knife because there will never be a situation where she needs a knife now.

Sense then she had used my knife more then countless times and every time I hint towards her not needing it and she tells me that she wants it not needs it lol.
 
I love how people brand the knife as such a useless thing. We have been using sharp edges since we evolved into what we are. While i may not use my knife everyday when i do use it it does what it needs to do. while yes there are some blade specificlly desgined for hurting people most are for work. Some one once asked my why i would spend so much on a knife which is a useful tool while they had a pair of $200 dollar nikes on there feet
