Knife guy problems

Daniel Dorn said:
I've had to learn to NOT be a knife snob, when someone brings out their No Name Special that they are SO proud of! I usually give a compliment, and mention I always carry a knife, as well.

If they ask to see it, then I'll bring out my $$$ knife, and let them. I will not offer up the price, unless they specifically ask.

I hate to appear to be a douche, as I'm sure I used to be, bragging every time I whipped out a quality knife.

I've grown beyond the "Look what I have!" mentality, and carry for MY pleasure, not for bragging rights.

This is the best way.
 
I do that all the time! But being in NYC people don't give a snip about it as they presume that you are metro- or bi-sexual and checking out someone's package vs if something happens to be clipped to their pants.

Of course being in NYC it's perfectly ok to stare at another man's package too no matter what your orientation. Maybe that's why we get the labels ROFLMAO.

Given their knife laws, NYC is much more open-minded than I thought, apparently.... ;)

I can carry lots of edged things here but I'm careful about which packages I stare at. :P
 
Being the only guy in your office of 25 people that carries a knife.... People come out of the woodwork... "Hey man can I borrow your knife?" I have since gone to carrying victorinox cadet exclusively for this situation rather than to hand off my Sebenza's and the like. Don't know where I read that on BF or on Youtube but it has been quite helpful.
 
Maybe the worst one, your getting ready to be away for a few days how many knives to take abd which ones? The stress is toi much. Maybe thus should be another thread but it is a problem
 
Having your wife tell you to hurry up, you're keeping everybody else waiting while you choose the perfect knife for dinner/wherever you're going that night.

It's not a simple decision, and it's not the same as my wife making us late because she's choosing the perfect outfit. Having a knife is about being prepared.
At least that's what I tell myself [emoji57]
 
When I forget my knife at home, i almost want to go back home to get it, even if super late for work haha. But I have to remind myself, work is HOW I'm able to buy knives.

This is why you keep one in the car, or at work...or one in the car AND at work! :)
 
My "Knife Guy Problem" is being in a sharp metal object hobby where most men are surprised women can love knives too. :p
 
The chain on my neck knife keeps catching on my belt knife and pulling it in front of my pocket knife.
 
My wife using my stuff to open boxes but leaving the packing tape goo stuck all over the blade.
 
Having my wife use my 560 to prep for dinner unknow to me as we had moved a couple of days later I tried to flip and the rusty gunged up bearing would not work I was cleaning it at the table and she said o that's the knife I used to make dinner but don't worry I put it through the dish washer when I was finished talk about used hard and put away wet

Also I know we she as ordered some thing offline
Random knife left on coffee table ...
Me.....what ya buy
Her..... how did you know
But that answer I keep to my self
 
NUMBER ONE PROBLEM:
Not having the money for the knives i want. My list is three pages long. Seriously.

2:
Excitedly offering my blade when someone asks, then turning around and realizing i forgot to tell them not to break it. Seriously, why do i literally have to tell people not to pry, cut bricks, or simply drop it in the sand ?? Does this really have to be said ??

People are morons.

Guess the jokes on me tho. Repeating the same behavior expecting different results . . .
 
Having to tell people to be careful... With knives.

I mean really?

Every time I say it, they look at me and ask, "oh is it sharp?"

Yes it's sharp, I don't stop sharpening it until I appreciate the sound it makes as it cuts through newspaper. I bring it to work because I prefer it to a razor blade.
 
I cut myself three times today.... Three! Though to be fair once was one a bowl.

Dude, that's not even a problem! Fill your pockets with your favorites, and then put the rest in a bag, and either carry them with you, or (hopefully) send them to me!
