I was embarrassed to use my knife

Let me get this in before who knows what happens to this thread! (I get the feeling something will happen.) :)

1) Sunog, my apologies for calling you "he."

2) My point is that if you feel you are carrying an appropriate knife, then, by all means, I say "whip it out." If you are carrying a knife that makes you hesitate about whipping it out...because maybe you think people will think it's goofy or over the top or a "overcompensator" (probably not a problem with the female knife fans! :D) ...then maybe rethink the knife.
 
I wish you had a Cold steel large Espada to pull out right then:D It sounds like Emily doesn't ever need to cut anything?
 
You have obviously given this some thought and have learned a little something about yourself and others in the process. This is usually a good thing.

What Sunog was thinking:

"Emily, if you weren't a fat, self-center pig of a woman, you might have a boyfriend. And if you found a boyfriend, you might not be so unhappy. And because you are a pathetic, fat, unhappy pig, the only joy you have in life is deriding others. The act of meddling in other people's lives gives you a false, fleeting sense of significance that is lacking in your life because, well, you are a fat, pathetic, lonely pig.

Well guess what, Porky. Characterizing another person as short does not make you tall, and pontificating about knives does not make you any less fat, boyfriendless, pathetic or piggy. You're miserable with your own pathetic, fat little life, and so you want everyone else to be just as miserable. You know what, Oinker? I have a 6" folder right here [TWACK!], and I'm happy as a clam. I'm even happier now that I know you are afraid of an inanimate object. And I have hot chicks chasing me all day long who, incidentally, are the exact opposite of you. So maybe you should just go back the pig farm and hit the treadmill, shave your legs, and learn how to build a pie. Then guys might start to look at you for a change, and you won't feel compelled to draw attention to yourself by saying something ignorant about my knife."

You need more bacon in your diet, Noodle :D

Mmmmmm........bacon
 
I'm guessing you were in LA and couldn't carry a larger knife legally? In any case, a legal knife shouldn't be a problem. I've gotten weird looks from people who don't understand knives, but it's never been much of an issue.
 
If you were embarrassed to whip out your knife, then you need to use that as an excuse to get a different knife.
 
They are the victims and keep the predators busy while I exit stage left.

Funny - and this is what I usually think. It is always good to have easier targets around for a BG to focus on.

/C.
 
You should have asked Emily why everyone in town was saying that she was spreading herpes like hot butter on toast.:)

I have a similar story.....

I stopped at a western boot store in North Carolina last summer. I bought my wife a pair of boots and she wanted to wear them home. I needed to cut some tags off but didn't want to pull my knife out in the middle of the store. The young lady behind the counter saw me struggling and jokingly said to me " if you were a southern boy you'd have a knife" , she handed me her pocket knife.

The moral of the story , don 't be embarrassed.

That is a great story!! :D
 
Women can like sharp things plenty.
I just bought my wife an axe...it should be here today.:)
She usually carries a Spyderco Lava. When not that, it's usually the Benchmade 707. She wants a blue Mini Griptilian next.
And she bought me this:

I bought my Ex girlfriend (then current) a Native 4 in pink. One of her favorite lines was when, at a party where coronas were being consumed, the people weren't equipped to cut limes they bought. When she pulled it out someone asked 'why does a girl need a knife' and her response was 'to cut b***hes.. and limes'. Good times.
 
There is no need to feel ashamed to use a cutting tool when you need it. Of course, not all people have the same outlook on things. I would suggest possibly getting a smaller Case Stockman or another traditional pocket knife for those moments when you are in a sensitive area. As long as you behave responsibly, there should be no concern (provided you are within the legal parameters of your city/state). Just a thought.

See, there have been a few posts like this on this thread, and it is totally the wrong way to go about things.

Do I think she (and others like her) are sheeple that are totally blinded to reality? Of course I do

But many of those people, if not most, are receptive to clear logical arguments, and some can even be converted to our side of thinking.

I'd rather someone speak up about my knife so I can start a conversation about it, rather than them not say anything at all
