Today during my office's Christmas party one of my co-workers had trouble opening their gift. I offered to help and their response was, "Oh, I forgot you carry a switchblade." It was actually a tactical, ninja wanna be, assualt knife commonly known as a Leatherman squirt. Maybe next year I'll give out "switchblades" instead of Christmas cookies.
 
Next time you should Bring a Microtech Halo or some other OTF auto and then see what they say ;)
 
Har har. Normal people can carry "switchblades". It's one of the benefits of not having an insanely irrational need to control other people's behavior.

My pat answer: It's a knife. Like any other tool. But not like you. You're also a tool, but not that kind of tool.
 
If you were on a desert island with the women in your office, you'd be hunting wild hogs with the spear you made with that Squirt, and they'd be dropping their iguana-skin thongs before you in gratitude.
 
I actually brought my godfather to work today. A bunch of my co-workers really like knives. They are not fanatics of course but one has started carrying a spyderco and my boss loved my 5 inch vaquero grande. He commented that it was light enough to wear with a suit;-)>

Well don't get me wrong, generally when I do these little show and tells we have to first ensure that thje office door is tightly shut.

those squirts are pretty evil lookin, don't they efven come in those bright tactical colors designed to blind and befuddle hapless victims?
 
This seems like a common story. Does everyone on Bladeforums work in a cubical?:p

In my line of work (military), I never, ever have issues;)

This is for sure, the "post du jour" ....you da man LJ !!.
 
well i'm a college student at duke, where there's a fairly large amount of yuppie and/or sheltered kids.

funny story, for halloween i went to franklin street at UNC (HUGE street party there every year on halloween), and i was dressed as a pirate. Some girl also dressed as a pirate walked up and goes "do you have a sword?" I pulled out my cuda maxx and was like "no but i have a knife." she left pretty fast.

LMAO!

Seriously though I'm always thinking lord if they only knew about the .45 on my hip I wonder if the knife would be such a concern. :eek:

I'm at my best friend's birthday party, a guy I've known for about 5 years. Anyways, we're sitting across the table from a female friend of mine, when my best bud says to me, "Hey Rob, I need you to cut this bag of ice open for me." The friend across the table, "Oh yea, like Rob just carries a....~Cuda Maxx Flips Open~ knife......" :eek: <--Her Expression, My buddy and I had the same expression...something like this ---> :D

Classic, I say!! To this day, she never questions whether I carry a knife.

Luckily I work for a great boss;myself :D so I don't have any issues like that.In my former life,I worked as a parts manager at a Mercedes-Benz dealership and carrying a knife was a requisite.Everybody opened boxes or whatever and the owner never had a problem with it;in fact there were many times he would come over to the parts department to borrow a knife.I also had a CCW permit and used to have my Detonics Mk.1 most of the time.My boss was also aware of that and never had a problem with it.
Around my shop,in addition to the Spyderco I normally carry(don't know the model;I bought it at a flea market for $5)there are usually several knives laying around in various places.Most of my customers know I collect knives and even bring them to me on occasion.

i'd like to avoid both the embarassment of being seen together and syphillis, if you don't mind.
 
my apologies. back on the topic at hand.

when i went to visit my friend in delaware, i had to carry my spydie karambit because it was the only knife i had with a blade under 3 inches. too bad it's also one of the scariest looking things i have. oops. her dad freaked out a bit and i had some explaining to do.
