Mini Ritter Grip at Winter Ball

[LongDistance]

I am a reporter for my high school's newspaper and I covered the "making of Winter Ball" by our high school's leadership class. I live in a pretty sheeple area, but I decided to bring my mini ritter and a swiss army knife (spartan lite) along because it wasn't school hours technically.

Both my spartan lite and mini ritter were a big help in both the making and clean up of our high school's Winter Ball. Even though I tried my best to be only an "observer", I found myself and my knives becoming part of the story numerous times. My knives didn't do any dramatic "save-the-day" rescues, but it functioned perfectly on easy tasks such as cutting sheets of paper and puncturing balloons (during the cleanup). The S30V steel and axis lock was overkill against a helium balloon.

It surpised me that none of the leadership class students brought a cutting tool (not even a swiss army knife) with them even though they did numerous jobs that required a sharp object. The reception on the Spartan Lite was quite positive, but a few of them did gave out a "whoa, is that a knife!?" when they saw me open the mini ritter. Their sheeple fear soon disapeared once they saw how useful a knife was. Even though I didn't convert anyone, I am sure I changed a good number of people's perspective on knives.

Last night i was helping to set up equipment at a show for local bands, i mostly just dragged around boxes of lighting equipment and helped out with opening tapes for the video cameras that were set up on the upper levels of the place...and drank beers. But my CRKT did most of the work (older aus 6 model, it did ok guys, no buggin' me about steel now haha).

Anyways, i love being able to save people the frustration of having to chew open blister packs. That's mostly because drunken 20 year old kids in Slayer shirts get pretty pissed sometimes. Haha i love 'em.

Anyways, i like practical knife using posts like this. Everyone post more in threads like this, they're fun to read.
