knives are evil? why?

I had this same problem where I use to work. 6 months later 2 people carry knives on them daily and 1 carries a multi tool. But remember, all these people were the exact way your co-workers were also.

The way I did it is when I notice someone is having trouble opening something I would hand the knife to them, closed and butt first about 12 inches away from there face. After a while people stop relating knives to crime and murder. Why? Because they only ever used the knife to open boxes and bags.

Try this, if not you could alwas try my second method.

When a box needs to be opened whip it out and slash it a few times and start laughing in a really high pitch. Then throw the box on the floor and, in reverse grip sink your knife in the card board and cut it about half the way open. Hold your knife in your teeth and rip it the rest of the way open and spread the contents all over the floor. Laugh again. Close the knife and run into the restroom and don't come out for about 15 minutes. When you come out have your hands shake. When you get back to your desk eat a peice of paper and take of your pants and continue the rest of the day like the whole thing never happened.

Just a thought.

Sincerely,
Adam
 
Maybe it's just me, but I like Adam's second suggestion better.

Hey Mike Turber:

Can you set up a "rate Adamantium" section? He's my hero, right after you and Spark

I am working on an AdamAntium web site. It will feature strange psychedelic worlds in which one tries to accomplish the impossible with the improbable. It co stars the magical Walt Welch as the star of the ER in a 3rd world hospital who uses super glue instead of thread and a Microtech HALO as a scalpel. James Mattis will come in sooth the hearts and soles of those who are lost amongst the tribes of the forgotten few. AdamAntium's role will, of course, be that of a rouge pilot from Zatar who lives in the realm of common disbelief. Of course his constant predilection for irrelevancy will be at the forefront of future episodes. This should make for a long running series in which the infamous Chris Carter would be proud!

Of course all the above is in jest and any similarity to actual events is purely coincidental!

I've had good luck with the workplace as well. I work in a testing lab for a plastic material supplier, and run experimental materials and prototype tools in injection molding machines when necessary. People got used to me trimming plastic parts with a knife, opening shipping boxes. I was pretty careful at first not to scare anyone away. During a rather large video conference call meeting, one of the managers was trying to get the equipment to work, and a few pieces were missing. They were found in a taped up box in the console of the unit. I slid my Sebenza across the table, the room quieted down for a few seconds, and the manager opened the knife, then the boxx, got the rest of the equipment out, and the call was on. No problems. Now, a few years later, several other people have knives clipped in their pockets, have SAK's in their briefcases, and several of the support staff have Micras on their keychains or in their purses. A rather successful indoctrination, I would think.

RJP, this is the old model, now discontinued. Maybe Mr. Mattis can track one down for you. Jim March has recently designed the next generation RND 3000. He'll be glad to furnish details.

As for Adamantium, the words of Hank Hill come to mind. "That boy ain't right." I still laughed my *ss off.
 
you have eno****ered the sheeple factor. it is when people deal with anything exept and sometimes including a swiss army knife as a lethal weapon that is just waiting to leap from your pocket and bathe itself in human blood. (thats what my bm975 does, thank you)

you will have to deal with it. we all do.
go to knife forums and search any date for the term sheeple and read.
