A well know web site as a first of the month deal on this knife. My question to you is.. Would you buy this knife and use it? Its bubble gum pink and says Lady Case on it. Its very well discounted.

I'm not sure I could use it. If I paid someone to change the scales out I'd be putting more money into it.

I'd buy it for my sister but she said "Enough knives" after I got her the first one, a pink Vic Classic. Oh well.
 
I bought the large single blade trapper and russlock with the pink because it was different. Then my wife started referring to them as the tampon knives and asking how many proofs of purchase I had to send in. Guess I am done with the bubba gum knives...
 
I almost bought this today and probably would have if it didn't say lady case on the blade.
 
Ouch! tampon knives, thats pretty harsh. I play guitar and once had a pepto pink one. It sounded amazing. I didnt even take it out of the house. After a while I said man... I can't own a pink guitar!!. So I sold her.
 
I had a bought a older "new" leatherman off an auction site. It had some kinda Microsoft thing on the blade. I just took some fine steel wool and it came right off.
 
If you like it, buy it and enjoy using it. Pink is just another color, and no less "manly" than any other color unless you're a victim of ridiculous cultural biases.

American men are known to be strangely insecure about their masculinity. For example, I own a Nissan Z car that's badged as a "Fairlady" in every country except America, where it's known as a 350Z. Nissan marketing surveys revealed that the name "Fairlady" wouldn't be accepted by the large demographic of American male consumers, so they dumbed it down to manly-sounding alphanumeric gibberish to sooth our fragile American egos. I re-badged mine with the correct Fairlady logo as soon as I brought it home.

If I recall correctly, and more on topic, Buck made a small lockback called the "Lady Buck" that had to be renamed the "White Knight" because insecure American men were put off by the word "Lady." A Buck dealer told me that sales on the knife showed a marked increase with the new moniker. :rolleyes:

You should be proud to carry a small pink slipjoint called the "Lady Case." Doing so demonstrates a lot more confidence and self-assurance than some faux-tough poseur who carries a ridiculously overwrought tiger-striped and skull-beaded tactifool clunker. :cool:

If not wanting to carry a Pink knife because I think it is feminine means that "guys" who do like to carry Pink knives will think I am "strangely insecure" in my masculinity as a result of being victimized by a "ridiculous cultural bias", well, I can live with that.
 
Guys, let's please not allow ourselves to quarrel amongst friends over this. Thanks.
 
i would buy it just for the quirkiness. it would be fun showing someone my knives and them seeing a bunch of "manly" bone and stag, then coming across a bright pink one and watch them be thrown off a bit.
 
I wouldn't buy one for the same reason I don't buy knives with orange handles.
 
I could carry an orange one (even if it were bright orange G-10), but that fluorescent pink Bubba Gum is just too much for a traditional (even if it's the one that doesn't say "Lady Case" on it). I could see myself carrying something in hot pink like a Severtech or Strider just for the ironic joke, especially if I got it engraved with "FLUFFY BUNNY KNIFE" or something like that. But a traditional? In bone? That's just not right. Regardless of your gender.
