Have you ever been caught naked?

Pukkoman-
Well, yeah. They are pretty tough & mean when they want to be, so at these distances, "overkill" is the only way to go. ;)
 
jackknife, what did you do that caused someone to throw rocks at you at a concert?
 
I got stuck with just my pocket knife when I needed my multi tool once. Had a 10 year old F250 for my daily driver. It ran great but but was showing some wear. The exhaust system was rusted out really bad and to compound things, I downshifted going down a hill pulling a wagon with 160 bales of hay on it. Blew the muffler apart, broke one tailpipe loose, made it even louder than it was before. Got it home and fixed it up with some baling wire, gotta make things last as long as possible right? :D
So a couple weeks later I'm driving to school (OSU) and hit a huge pothole, hear a big clank, but its handling fine and all the tires are ok so I went ahead and drove the last 2 miles to campus. Get out and look and one tailpipe is broken free from the muffler and just hanging from the baling wire. Its kinked over the other pipe and the axle and almost draggin on the ground. A huge mess :mad:
So I went to class, came back that afternoon, and figured I'd better take that pipe off before I take off down the road again. Reach for my gerber and my hand slaps my belt.....don't have it today:eek:. Checked the glove box, I have an extra knife, a few screwdrivers, electrical tape, but no friggin wire cutters :grumpy:
I crawled under the truck and start taking it loose by hand, untwisting wires, and pulling them out, bustin knuckles and swearing like crazy. Rust is fallin in my face and I couldn't beleive how much friggin wire I had under there. Finally got the wire off and then had to dislodge the tailpipe. More busted knuckles, more rust in my face, lots more swearing. I finally rip it out and have it laying on my chest so I toss it out from under the truck and crawl out. Look up to see I have a pretty good sized audience watching me dismantle my truck. I gave em a nod, threw the tailpipe in the bed of my truck and got the hell out of there.
I'll never go without my multi tool again!
 
Matt, that was a great (albeit sad) story. i laughed out loud at the thought of a bunch of people all gathered around, watching!

as for me, i don't have any specific stories, since my memory blows, but i can totally relate. the few times that i've been without a knife were... unpleasant. if i forget, it ruins my WHOLE DAY, until i get a knife back on me. i've turned the car around and gone back home before, because i forgot it.

ever since i've been carrying a blade (or 2, or...), i feel somehow incomplete and nervous without one.

Took off for a family reunion several states away last week and wanted to take my new minigriptilian to show a relative. Found out down the road that I had either forgotten to put it in my pocket in my hurry to leave, or it fell out of my pocket when I stopped to get gas. Great.

I always stop at Bass Pro in Charlotte and peruse their fishing gear, knives, etc. I just couldn't stand being knifeless, so I found the red boxes of Benchmades and picked up a mini Pika for $24.95 plus tax. Turned out to be a pretty darn nice knife, and saved the day when a relative had to cut some veggies.

Back home finally, I had lift the Grip in another pair of pants. Boy was I relieved. Now I've got another knife for EDC rotation.

A man shouldn't have to go knifeless....
