HOG thoughts inquiry

I concur - "why does it matter to you..." is my usual response. i do not justify my life choices for anyone but OP. I might ask what is special about "that knife" indicating interest, or commenting on it intrinsic beauty. In the case of a really inferior sword I asked where it cam from so I could avoid that source. But generally folks who count value the hardware, those that do not do not have an opinion that matters on that subject. Remember Crocodile Dundee...a generation laughed at the muggers switchblade.
 
It is kind of odd but living in a place like San Francisco you might expect that I’d get those questions. But I just don’t. Not from my liberal sisters, girlfriend, or bike club members.:confused: :confused:
 
It's like a parachute.....when you need it, nothing else is gonna work.

(I've also used that for firearms and it's no less true)
 
better to have and not need, than need and not have, or some such nonsense.

but really, and i do tell people this, i carry because i like guns and knives, and because i can, and sometimes i must carry.

While Guyon's answer has both a certain flair and a certain justice to it, I have my own version.

I am a scientist. As a scientist, I must always remain at or just slightly ahead of the 'cutting edge' of science and technology.

I am therefore actually required to carry a Busse knife. :thumbup:

Nothing else will do. :)
 
*Cuz, I like it.
* No, it's not a "weapon." It's a tool. You ever trying using a crescent wrench to hammer a nail? Sucks, doesn't it? All when a hammer is accurate and the right weight?! (Then I split a big chunk of wood. If that doesn't "get 'em," and it usually does, then I'm stuck. If they kept on, I'm tempted to pull the lil 642 out of my pocket and say, "No. THIS is a weapon. The knife just splits wood." Unfortunately, waving a CCW around is a bit immature and only adds fuel for the antigunners, so I just drop it.)

*If I could only throw an FBM like Cobalt, I would immediately respond to any question by flinging it into a wood surface. Unfortunately, the effect is lost when it bounces off butt first.
 
"I buy these knives in bulk from the TSA confiscation sales to give them a good home. I take them in the woods, and for walks, and for odd jobs around the house. I don't discriminate if they are big and gangly or small and petite. I love them all. Its seems a shame that their owners never got to enjoy them. I want them to have a life."
 
Does your mama ever teach you not to judge when you know so little of?
You don't see me come asking you "what can you do with that little thing u carry in pocket?"

:D
 
I wore my AD to work the day after I got it. I co-worker say it and while I don't think he had a problem with it he did ask if it could be considered a weapon. I responded by asking him what he called the knives in his kitchen? Weapons or tools? I then said it's a tool. If it makes you feel better just think of my AD as a $200 steak knife. That shut him up.

P.S. Was out in the field over the weekend on a search and a team member was kind enough to grill up some steaks for breakfast. The AD makes a great steak knife.

It must be big, in accordance with prophecy
Because the cult rules say so, in accordance with prophecy
For prophecy, in accordance with prophecy


Then let out a shriek of "IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROPHECY", then run off screaming. They will never ask you again :D :thumbup:
