So after meeting several of you at the show, and getting a bunch of crap for just being a lurker on the forums, I thought I would share a quick story.
At the show I bought my first Izula. My wife, not a knife person at all, was not pleased with any of my purchases. So the other night we went out for dinner, nice little local steakhouse down the street from our house. I ordered my usual celebratory prime rib dinner (good week with work). When my meal came, and the waiter left, I realized that my steak knife had been taken away with my salad. No big deal, I reached under my shirt, pulled my Izula out and began carving. Personally I did not see a problem with this. My wife not wanting to make a scene, asked the waiter on his next trip to the table, to bring me a steak knife. I of course told him not to worry I had brought my own. Once home my wife informed me that my actions were completely inappropriatte and that pulling a deadly weapon out at a restaurant was inexcusible. I would like to state that I love my wife, but I also thought her "deadly weapon" statement was a little obsurd. I especiallly find it funny because she consistently needs one of my knives to cut the tags off her new purchases.
So to be a dick and make a point to my wife, I decided to use my knife for every task possible for the rest of the weekend. I am not talking about a camping weekend, I am talking about for every stupid daily task you can think of. I will give you some of the dumber things I did.
I cook most of the meals, did I use one of the knives from the chopping block? HELL NO! My Izula cut all the vegetables, cut all the chicken, cut open the easily removable top to my daughters plastic applesauce container. Did I use a butter knife for my bread? HELL NO!. Did I twist open my daughters sweet tarts wrapper to open it? HELL No! Not when I have an Izula! Did I pull the Izula out in Church to cut a loose hang nail from my daughters finger, Hell Yes! Did I use it to pry the cap off of every beer everyone had at the party we were attending Saturday Night, Hell Yes! Did I attempt to shave with it in the mornings? Hell Yes? Did I use it to Peel a banana? Hell Yes! I could go on and on. Was an Izula necessary in these situations? No! Did my wife finally get the point (excuse the pun), that I was not carrying a deadly weapon and was in fact carrying a useful tool? Probably not, but I at least I had fun pissing her off.
