Wow, some of you guys seem to have some pretty strong feelings about other people carrying their knives clipped to the outside of their pocket.
Let's see, it's been described as "foolish", "dumb", "insane", and those who do it have been called "idiots", all based on how they choose to carry a knife.
Personally, rather than criticizing them, I would be encouraged by the fact that other people were carrying knives, period. I regard any law-abiding person who carries a knife, and handles it responsibly, as a form of "brother", because they are someone who, like me, recognizes the value of carrying a knife. I'd much rather encounter people who carry folders clipped outside their pockets, and who support our right to carry knives, than to encounter people who are against carrying knives altogether.
As always, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but it seems that in every "hobby", whether it's cars, or motorcycles, or guns, or knives, there are always people who look for reasons to put other people down within that "hobby".
I would never carry a folder clipped to the outside of my pocket, but neither would I criticize others and call them dumb, or stupid, or an idiot simply because they choose to carry their knives differently than I do.
Some people on this forum carry knives in ways that I disagree with, but I wouldn't question or insult their inteligence. Instead I would simply say- that's not for me, but to each their own.
