Non-Threatening Knives? or What Designs Can Anyone Love?

Traditional slipjoints with dark wood, stag, or bone handles.
I find that even the larger slipjoint patterns don't bother people very much.

Certainly not as much as even a small one-handed opener does.
 
I made this one to be friendly looking:

Kitchen knives, especially santoku style blades are non-pointy, and non-lethal looking. Add to that highly ornate folders ( AKA, Pocket Knifes).

There is one of those "Mart" stores near me. If you go to the back of the store to sporting goods and buy a 4" hunting knife(which they keep in locked casses) they have to walk you out the store with it. But you can go to the homegoods dept. and pick up a 12" chef knife and carry it all around the store with you.
I agree with you Nick...very ironic. Most stabbings are done with kitchen knives.

I never realized the irony of that until now. A lot of times they don't even have the hunting knifes in the cases by me. They have a picture of the knife and you have to have someone go into a separate locked cabinet to take one out to look at it, and even then it's still boxed up.

Really? That is the one of dumbest things I have ever heard!
 
i personally think any knife,used in the correct time and manner safely. doesn't scare people. jmho....willy
 
Just an amusing thought on my part... wharncliffs, especially if they're not radically pointy (stubby knives = non-threatening,) are pretty people-friendly... drop the tip even half an inch, and OMG, it's a hawkbill slashing knife!
