Knife peeps are badass!

So a salesman, working in a knife shop, had a knife in every pocket? What's the problem with that?

I probably reacted a little over the top, but people that try to sell me something and look like a douchebag .... At the end of the day are still douchebags that didn't sell me anything ;)
 
I can agree with that.

A douchebag is a douchebag, one knife or several. I wouldn't buy from one, either.
 
The guy that was trying to sell me on something was dressed in what looked like brand new 5.11 clothes from head to toe. LOL
 
I was about to say something about a "garrett trooper" ala the Green Beret song singer.

But then I realised I have a small OT in the front right pocket, a SAK in the front left, there is a little finger cleaning blade on my money clip, a Leatherman SuperTool on my belt, a Spyderco Endura with a lanyard in my back pocket, and a Spyderco Police III in my left cargo pocket.

I should get a plain edge Endura and drop the Police and the Endura I carry now, though. I need a one-handed easy open for the back left with a plain edge. Of course I could just get the pocket clip on the Shallot fixed and maybe back pocket that... :o
 
I'm kinda surprised by the reaction here. I mean, I've seen guys that seem to deserve this reaction, but they're usually very mall-ninja-ey and the OP did not depict this, only that the guy carried a lot of knives.

Most of us probably carry more than one, and even that is shocking to most people in general. Can you honestly say that you wouldn't constantly be picking up and putting down knives if you owned a shop?

Maybe it's bit overboard, but as long as the guy isn't a walking display stand (i.e. they're all obviously meant to be seen) covered in tats wearing camo with a "kill them ragheads" t-shirt covering a beer-gut and all of his knives are ninja weapons I don't think it's a big deal.

From the OP I got the mental image of a beaded old fart with a big grin on his face doing what he loves, not what everyone else seems to be seeing. The OP said he considers him a badass, not that the guy looked like he was trying to be one.
 
I carry a lot of knives 8-10 on any given day. Why 'cause I collect knives. I have two girls under the age of 5. there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not also carrying something pink and or fluffy and diapers. knives or no knives I look about as badass as a pair of bunny slippers. Nothing wrong with having more than one.

If you didn't think he was trying to be that then why did you give the thread the title you gave?

"Knife peeps are badass!" ?? I think you are the one that got the wrong impression.

And you still have not defined "peep"
 
Another question to ask yourself... If you think somebody is "badass" when they are carrying an arsenal, what about when the same guy is half asleep in his boxer shorts? Badass is a state of mind. I can kill a guy with my hands and countless other items nearby before I have to resort to my knife.
 
To each his own, I know of a couple people that carry 3-4 on them at all times. It does raise some eyebrows, some sheeple think that the guys are the next Jack the Ripper, after all knives are for sticking in people, right?

To be honest, most people on the Bladeforums have at least a small obessive component to their collection. It's irrational and inexplicable to non knifenuts why you would need to own more than a one pocket knife.

If you count my Vic Classic and Leatherman Micra, then it is not unusual for me to be carrying 4 knives; but I consider that I carry 2, a traditional in my front pocket and a one-hand opener in my back pocket. (A plump white-bearded grumpy engineer with a couple of knives in his pockets does not meet my definition of "badass". The knives are just tools for me. See Charlie Mike for my definition of "badass")

Possibly, but judging by the relatively large number of responses of people with the wrong impression, we might also conclude that you lead us to it.
 
I met a "badass" once who killed at least 2 people (confirmed by his tats) with plastic from coffee cup lids and deodorant applicators. He's prolly back in prison right now, but he's a "badass", verdad(right)?

He'd prolly prefer "cavity carry" if he had a Buck 110 right now :eek:
