Pulled out a folder to cut some rope in the Ikea parking lot and you would have thought it was a severed head or something. Half the humans there are under the age of 10 and I guess the mommy/daddys thought I was going to gut one of their brood after lashing down my verkerfruking thingy my girlfriend bought. Anybody else make some jaws hit the floor by pulling out a usefull tool this weekend?
 
I pulled out my Spyderco to cut some loose threads off my cousins sweater. But no gasps, because my family is used to it. :D
 
Pulled out my Spyderco Military to shave a splinter off one of those bamboo back scratchers that a couple of the kids were playing with at a community service event on Saturday. Nobody even batted an eye as I don't deploy my knives in a flourishing or brandishing manner.
 
For some reason I've noticed if you open a knife with 2 hands you don't get as much crap for it, but as soon as they see you can snap it open one-handed they get all huffy and puffy and narc on you for global terrorism. I really hate being called Osama. :mad:
 
I don't think anybody has ever even noticed when I use a folder to cut something.

I did get some looks when I carried my HI 30" Sirupati into my office to show my office manager :cool:
 
I went for a walk yesterday, and used my old CRKT M16-13 to shave some splinters off of my walking stick. Even in rural MD, on the Mason Dixon line, people slowed down to see what I was doing with my knife :P.
 
It is obvious that it is high time to actually GUT a kid or decapitate someone.

Gonna get the "look" might as well JUSTIFY it.

What we need is a folder with a BAYONET on it.

:D
 
I used my Endura at the supermarket last night to cut an egg carten in half. (I only wanted to buy a half dozen.) Strangly noone gasped, or at least not that I noticed.
 
Last Saturday, I pulled out my CS XL Voyager at a poker game to cut the end of a cigar and caused quite a stir. The game was filled with old fraternity brothers (many of whom I haven't seen in a while), so I was a bit surprised to see just how horrified a couple of these guys were to see me make good use of a sharp cutting implement. Next time, maybe I should bring my CS X2 Voyager or one of my Cuda Maxx's (long live the megafolder!)...

IKEA is so much fun. A few years back I whooped out my 110 and sliced open the cardboard ixobal to inspect, prepurchase, a verkerfruker while standing near the registers. I instantly had 2 managers to note that it had a crunched pseudo-wood part. They made sure I got an undamaged one and facillitated my checkout post haste. Then of course I had to cut some rope... :D

You talking about my Extrema Ratio Nemesis?

The blade is only 4.5" :)
 
Got a few "Good Grief's" at a wedding reception yesterday when I whipped out my Spyderco "Stretch" to gut some sausage and meatballs. What was I supposed to do? Use a spoon?
 
No, I live in rural north Carolina so most people don’t pay much attention to guns and knifes. This past hunting season I was out walking / stalking a old logging path with a 30-30 and started to get hungry. In the other side of the woods (a safe direction and distance for my hunting) was a country dinner. I walked to the dinner unloaded the rifle wand walked inside. I set the gun down in a corner near the hat rack and took a seat. No one said a word other than the waitress. “have any luck?”

Reminds me of home. :) I've walked into stores with a 12-gauge slung on my back, and have raised no eyebrows except when I paid with a fifty. ;)
 
I find it interesting that people are much more comfortable with you holding a gallon can of gasoline than a SAK. There are many cases of mass murder where someone walks up to the entrance of a building, pours in gasoline, and throws in a match. I mean cases where dozens and dozens of people were killed with gasoline. Unless you run amuck in a preschool you would be lucky to kill 2 or 3 people with a knife before you were stopped. If the guys at Columbine HS had brought in gasoline rather than getting overly complicated with propane and guns they would have killed many times more people than they did with those "evil guns that need to be banned."

The thing that I really find a laugh is when people feel that a knife is a threat to a building full of adults. Like you are going to try to force the office manager to crash the building into an airplane.
