They called me crazy

Swoop03 · Dec 25, 2012

My parents and brothers all think I'm weird for carrying 3+ knives even just around my house, well today they all came to me when they needed a tag cut or a box opened today. I handed out all four knives I had this morning for Christmas presents. Who is crazy now? I had a SAK Executive, Leatherman Squirt PS4, Spyderco Cricket and a PM2.

What did you guys/gals use to open any Christmas presents today?

I quit loaning out good knives on Christmas to open packages. I was carrying a Benchmade 710 in M390 and a Mini Grip 556 but the packages were opened with a Sheffield folding utility knife and a pair of ChannelLock 6" dikes.

In their minds you are still the crazy one sir.
Anyways, I started out with my Para 2 and Squeak.
Opened a new Kershaw SS Volt and then used it.

Don't you have a BK9 you could open packages with? Then they would have called you crazy!

I used my sebenza to open the first few including a new chokwe, then used that for the rest.

I used a Benchmade 940 to open gifts for my family. A 940 that has a new edge from the Wicked Edge I received!! I got the Pro Pack 1 and for me a a great sharpening solution.

Hmm for around the house? Sounds pretty crazy lol

I used my hands to rip open my gifts, I'm getting in touch with my bestial nature

My family is cruel and keeps 3M in business with all the tape they use. I like to be ready as well, I often go places un announced, a buddy will show up and be like "you, with us. we are going to (insert action)" So its just easier for me then, all i gotta do is slip on my boots, a hat and a coat. In fact yesterday my buddy needed a pen to give a girl his number while she was at work and I had my victorinox signature on me. Then later that day one of his friends ignition stuck in the steering lock position before we went off roading and I had my leatherman squirt which he used as leverage to free it. I like being useful
