Have you ever needed a knife and it wasn't there? In between knives, and a few years before I started carrying a knife again, I was helping someone move, and we had no rope. We got the bright idea to use the cord from the mini blinds, but not one of us had a knife! Now, of course, that would never happen, and I would probably have rope on me too, but I have to say that one of the girls (women) said something like, "I thought you were the type of guy to have a pocketknife". It always stuck with me, and is a part of the reason I always have one now. What's your story?
 
Even the few times I've been caught nekkid I still had at least a 'necker on me.

Lightweight.

:p :D :p
 
In 2000, I went on a school trip to Japan... IN THE SUMMER!! Let me tell you, that place is ephing HOT! We all stayed at the Lutherian Center in Tokyo. Well, about the third night there, I got up in the middle of the night and had to go potty. I was sleeping nude, because it was so insanely hot and humid. The only toilets where down the hall. I knew nobody would be up, so I just headed out in my birthday suit. On my way back, I was so sleepy, I actually went into the wrong room. These twisted ladies and gentlemen were actually awake with students from other rooms. IT WAS LIKE, 4AM!!! So there I am, standing in their doorway, stark naked, none of us saying anything. Just staring at each other.
I didn't have a knife then.

Things between us were never the same after that. Yet surprisingly, that didn't blow my all of my chances with the chikitas there.

Every Weds. When I pop up to the Boston office for a meeting with only my laptop bag.... :(
 
It has happened on occasion! Last time I can remember was in a supermarket. My wife wanted something in a cardboard box what was still sealed and she said "hand me your knife!" I told her "hell no!" and gave her a key instead! Pathetic? Yes indeed, but whipping out the knife I was carrying at the time (Camillus CQB-1...forgot to take it off before leaving home! :rolleyes: ) would probably have caused mass hysteria and gotten me a trip to Club Fed! :D
Now I always have my LM Micra on my keyring!

Twice I can recall driving several miles, only to turn right around and come back home to get the carry I left behind that morning.
 
Nope, that's why I carry a few on me all the time. I've got a BM Ascent as backup in my glove box just in case too ;)

Twenty years ago. Lunch with a very educated, cultured business associate.

Quote: "A gentleman always carries a knife."

His words always echo when I pull out my tiny SAK and hear, "Eeek! He's got a knife!"
 
When I open a new box of cereal in the morning, I strongly prefer to cut the plastic inside the box with a sharp knife. A couple of times I've been caught knifeless with a cereal box that needs opened. So now I sleep with a Delica clipped to my drawers, so it's there when I need it in the morning. :D
 
Once in a while, which is why there is always an "extra" in the car, in the shooting bag, at the office, etc.
 
I was caught nekkid once. I went to Circle K early morning (like 4am) for a beef jerky and Mt. Dew fix, and the clerk was struggling with the plastic cord thingies that hold the stacks of newspapers...with perahps the most worthless, beat-up pair of "scissors" I've ever seen. I was going to cut it for her, but I realized I'd left my knife mid-sharpening on my computer desk. In retrospect, it's probably a good thing I didn't show myself on the video cameras with an open blade next to the clerk...but I still felt naked.

The scissors on my LM Micra worked fine though.
 
Just the other night I may as well have been. A coon walked up less than 3 feet away, and all I had on me was a stupid little Schrade slipjoint folder. :mad: I had to run back to the house to get my big Bowie, and it proved FAR more effective.

Boink-
I chuckle every time I see that avatar, man. Cool. :)

That's why I leave a Camillus CUDA Maxx bowie on the kitchen table. :)

wait... you killed a raccoon with a big bowie? that seems to me like using a 12-gauge to hunt ants.... way too effective.
then again, nothing wrong with efficiency.

peace.
 
Well, sometimes I forget to switch the knife in my jeans when I switch pants. You know, drop the pants, don't unclip the Delica and then put a different pair on in the morning....but I always have my ladybug or my swisscard in my purse so I won't be completely bladeless. Though I hate not having the Delica or Griptillian.
 
I am homeschooled, so I even get to carry to school. :cool: Once my dad said I didnt need to take my CUDA Maxx to church, or any other knife for that metter. So I was naked that week. Next week I slipped my Centofante III into my pocket. :D
