Halloween Knife Scare, Need Your Help

I suggest a small folder like a Ladybug or Air that just sits inside your pocket.

I wouldn't bring anything over 2.5 inches to a bar, especially if you're a bad drunk.

I should clarify that by rowdy I don't mean fighting. To me a knife is just a simple tool. And I have had to use it in bars before. Just the other day, they were serving ribs and I used my knife to cut them up into more manageable pieces.

So by rowdy you basically just mean the stumbly, dancing around sort of drunk thing where stuff can get brushed off or dropped, right?

Something cheap that sits at the bottom of a pocket might be a decent idea. Some of the Boker Plus line of slip-joints might be suitable. Classic looking, not scary when used in a normal fashion, and under $20 with okay steel.:)
 
This is NOT directed at the OP (I don't know him), this is a general comment.

If a person is an idiot then it won't matter what type or size of knife they carry. An idiot with a knife is still an idiot with a knife. A person who is prone to stupid behavior, whether it entails getting drunk in a bar or any other location or activity, can get into just as much trouble with a small knife as they can with a big knife.

Unfortunately, the size of ones knife has no bearing on how stupid they are, or the dumb things they do.

My general advice- If you're an idiot prone to stupid behavior, don't carry ANY knife.
 
No offence meant to anyone..but can I just ask .
What sort of bar is it where a knife can accidentally/magically unclip itself and then clip itself onto the backpocket of another blokes jeans without his noticing?
Really?How does that happen?

I have had my pocket clip on a handful of different knives get hooked on all kinds of things, and either get dumped on the floor, or stay hooked to another item. I have one particular knife that did this constantly. I would hook through seat fabric, seat belts, other people's clothes, carpet, tables, chairs, wookies, and storm troopers (ok, those last two are just exaggerations). It would also work its way loose all on it's lonesome.

I can see this happening very easily in a tight press push by. It would not end up in their pocket, but clipped hanging from the outside. I have done this on my wife's purse several times, and my own bag.

Well, this is the twenty first century after all, who's to judge?
 
Why don't you get a length of paracord and loop it around your belt and through the lanyard hole of the knife?

That way, if it falls out.....it's still attached to you. Stuff the excess in your pocket.
 
Put a piece of cord through the lanyard and tie it to your belt loop. Problem solved.
 
I've got 2 votes for the dozier and I think 2 votes for the Rat 1. Which do you guys prefer?
 
Maybe your knife just wanted to be carried "Walking Dead" style.

Has anybody else notice how they carry knives clipped backwards with the knife outside the pocket?
 
I'd carry something like a Kershaw Blur, it clips to the pocket very tight and can be had in alot of different color/blade combos
 
I have a lanyard with a plastic Nexus snap clip on the end. The snap clip gets attached to a belt loop. Cord is long enough to suspend it in my pocket. It didn't take long to get used to unclipping the snap hook to retrieve my knife.

I don't think you need a knife at a bar, especially if you get rowdy. But, let's face it we are all knife folk here. I hate to leave home for any occasion without some kind of pocket knife. So, I'd suggest something very small (a lot of good suggestions made already), that does not have a clip. It should sit deep in your front pocket so that it doesn't snag on anything or anybody in the close quarters of a bar.

Oh, and party on, brother!
 
I have been enjoying my Benchmade Griptillian a lot lately.
I think it is a good "put it in your pocket and forget it" knife.
Fun to flick, too.
 
Ive been having that issue with my pistol, I keep hitting the grip on things at the bar. I need a bar gun.

Id get something with no thumb studs, less to catch on and those things can hurt, specially if your into the "bump and grind" thing.

Kershaw Junkyard dog seems like a good bar knife. Not assisted so no drunken stabbings in the leg when you are "bumpen". But opens smooth, and looks like it belongs in a bar. Pull the clip off and its pretty flat.

Nah, but maybe a cold steel Greatsword strapped across the back. Highly unlikely, that it will hook onto somebody and will pull itself out of the scabbard xD. A small neckknife could also be an option. Other options would be an Hide-away-knife or the Emerson LaGriffe on your belt.
