So my wife and I are killing time in a New Age store in my area before having pizza. We are looking at the crystal globes, necklaces, etc. when my wife says "there's a Damascus knife!" Sure enough, in one of the display cases sat a Pakistani 4" damascus folder. For $35.

The salesman, a gentle, soft spoken man quizzically raised his eyebrows so I explained that I collected damascus pocket knives and whipped out my EDC of the day: the William Henry copper and steel damascus pictured. He lowered his voice and asked if I was a Druid?

My wife snorted, trying to keep from laughing. I replied that I did not think I was a druid, and we departed for the pizza place, where the wife quickly posted the incident on Facebook.

I'm now wondering if he thought I performed animal sacrifices :)

PS: My wife said it was probably not a good idea to flick open my knives in crowded stores during the holidays. Oh well.
 
Well, obviously, the engraved runes on the handle of the knife, with reference to the stars and the sun, plus the blade incorporating the magical mystic properties of copper, plus the soul-carrying piece of precious wood mean you are a modern priest of the arcana. Obviously.

The fact that the value of that knife is probably more than the entire inventory of the store might have some bearing, as well.:D

Dan, I'm officially impressed. You know your knives.
 
Haha, funny story. When ever I need to open a knife in a store or crowd I use two hands and open it like it was a slip joint, makes me feel like it looks "Less scary" to non-knife people :)
 
I would rather not make a big deal of it, some people just freak out when they see a knife. :eek: I'm sure flicking it open wouldn't be much better.

I visit lots of doctors these days. Occasionally I like to flip open my EDC (all 3" or less gentlemen's knives) in the reception area to ostensibly clean my fingernails. Yeah, I get some looks....but at my age I have to get my kicks where I find them.

You are lucky to be starting young. I have always liked and had knives (gerbers, buck 110), but never got the "nice knife" bug until I started watching Youtube videos.

The correct answer is yes.

"Are you a Druid?"
Yes.

"Are you a wizard?"
Yes.

"Are you a rock star?"
Yes.

"Can you levitate objects using only your mind?"
Yes.

Let the legend grow.:)

A number of posts here were contentious and off-topic attempts to insult others' religious feelings. I removed them to a new thread in Whine & Cheese, and closed that thread. Let's not return to that part of the discussion here.
 
Came in for the "are you a wizard"? picture. I'm leaving satisfied. Have a good one, everyone.
