Locked out on a balcony

Who leaves their house without:

1. Knife
2. Flashlight
3. Wallet
4. Cell Phone
5. Keys
6. Firearm
7. Surface to air missile
8. Lock pick set

That would just be irresponsible and ludicrous. :)

Short answer: I'm a pro door kicker. Three dead bolts into a 2x6 jam = two kicks.

You mean you don't carry a flamethrower or an M18 Claymore mine? Amateur . . . ;)
 
If the door gap was wide enough I'd use my $1,000 knife to cut a (hopefully) rigid enough slice of material from the heel of my $ 200 shoes and see if it would work. That way I cut my losses,so to speak.

Just an fyi, that soda can might not have actually scratched the dlc coating, it embedded aluminum in the finish. Aluminum is softer than dlc coating, so unless there was some sort of large impurities in the aluminum, it's doubtful a soda can would damage the finish and those "scratches" would have likely have come right out with a bit of soap and elbow grease.

How right you are. I did the same thing and thought the finish was scratched. I just added a light coat of oil on the blade and wiped it off. Good as new
 
Waste the knife getting in and then embezzle $1000 from my employer to replace the knife.

P.S. I am self-employed. :D
 
Depends on what's happening inside. For example, if I just made some corndogs in the microwave, and I was hungry, hell yes I would bust through that door. If Oprah was on T.V., I'd rather jump.

carry #8 constantly, ive learned from my mistakes

for the question, most roof balcony doors have the hinges (unfortunately) one the outside, pop that mother off its hinges!! dont even need he knife for that

realistically id use the knife because A) i dont own a knife that costs that much & B) if you got it use it
 
If you was walking through the woods and a mt. lion attacked you and all you had was a 1000 dollar custom knife, would you fight back with it, or offer it your arm in hope it would get full and leave you alone. You'd be without an arm, but hey your knife would still be pristine! :D
 
It's a knife it's meant to be used, so of course i'd use it. thou i'd check the lock afterwards to se if i damaged it, the knife nah scratches and damages are marks of honor on a blade.
 
My Dad always says, there's no use to have it if you don't use it. Which is true if you're bothering to carry it anyway.
 
I used a $475 Sebenza to tighten some screws in a car, causing several chips.. (it was either that or stand for who knows how many hours in how texas weather.. the choice was obvious).
 
My BK9 was only 79 bucks and all I would have to do is point it at the door and it would fall off the hinges, lol, just kidding.

Ok lets be sreious here.

First you take the shoe strings out of your shoes and make traps to catch pigions in.
Then you take off your pants and cover them in roof tar to make them water proof and you lay them out to catch water.
Now you need fire. Look around on the roof and see if there are any downed trees. If so chop some up to make kindling and then save some to make a shelter.
Rip your shirt up to make a bandana and rub some dirt on your face to help you look loco so the nativies wont attack you in the dark.

Good luck
 
Or, you could use the tweezers from a SAK to pick the lock. The thin metal on SAK tweezers used with the plastic toothpick make awesome lock jimmies, and can unlock police handcuffs with ease. Don't ask how I know. But it's a good reason to carry a small SAK.

The same result can be gotten with a large paper clip with a L shaped bend at the end of the wire.
