Reasons To Carry a Pocket Knife

[Sonnydaze]

Knives can certainly be used as tire irons and as baseball bats..

Certainly. If the pitcher throws you a fast-ball, just take a cut at it.

Sorry, it was out of line and not funny. Something about hard use. Not feeling too well this morning.

Not out of line at all man, I just didn't get it, and I usually do....

Take care of yourself and get better.

Thread: Reasons To Carry a Pocket Knife

Reasons?
All of them.

 

[silvercrank999]

Because I have opposable thumbs, and I can. Two reasons that set me apart from most other creatures in the world.

 

[A-love05]

Because it gives me another thing to spend money on besides guns!!!!!

Too brilliant for words

A guy at my work says that we are all paranoid people if we feel the need to carry a knife. I asked why? He said ....and I quote. ..." I'm from California, and I see no need in carrying a knife, if you need to cut something, they make tools to do so." I proceeded to explain that my Strider SMF (made in California) is a tool and a knife as well....he told me I carried it for protection.....I said..."No, my Glock is for protection, my knife is for everything else. ......and protection. Walked away shaking my head......some people these days......anyway, I grew up in the country....a knife is a part of life.....nuff said.

What else would people do spine whack tests on?

Yeah, a knife.
It is THE tool designed specifically for cutting things.

Nah, the guy in zombieassassin's story was THE tool...

I don't know...tools are useful.

Backup to pocket cannon.

Excellent point sir. :thumbup:

 

[Gravy]

As Jim Skelton puts it, "To cut sh*t!"

 

[NaturalMystic]

Good job on the video!

 

[average gimp]

In a supposedly free society, it sickens me that anyone would think to pose this question. Be that as it may, "because I damn well want to," is all the reason needed.

We're not even in the 'top 10' freest countries anymore. We were #6, only a few short years ago (2009). :lol:

Do I need a reason though?

 

[Moondrop]

Holy moly. I felt winded at the end of that. LOL

I've seen comments following articles about Freddie Gray that demonstrate just why a video like this is actually necessary. It seems like most people that you might run into on a day-to-day basis do think of a knife as a weapon first and a tool somewhere waaaaaay down the line and some think of a knife as only a weapon. They don't think twice about using their car/house key to tear through the tape on a package or fight with a pair of scissors to cut open those blister packaged items (that actually hurts my hand when I try it) and I imagine they generally just tear envelopes open.

Oh man, I seriously HATE seeing this one!

Because 99% of the things we need/grow/buy/find/use come packed/grown/arrive/dropped/delivered/shipped inside other things that need to be opened/peeled/unpacked/pared/cut/quartered/butchered/etc. That's why I carry a knife.
