Was at dairy queen and...

im stuck in jersey and i carry a knife haha.......guy at the local sporting store had a kershaw leek in his hand as he tried to bash my sebenza?...nothing wrong with the leek at all but really?...girlfriends cousin apparently has some nice gerbers? but when i met him he had a flea market knife and fell in love with my paramilitary 2....I did meet a kid that refused to leave his house without his leatherman wave i thought that was really cool
 
I think most people in this thread would be disapointed if they ever saw me out and I pulled my EDC for use since I only carry a SAK. I don't see many people around here pull out a knife. Occasionaly I'll see a buck or multitool pouch on abelt, but never see many pocket clips.

maybe they all have SAK or slip joints tucked in their pockets, at least I can hope they have something.
 
Jersey represent. Was at a knife store in the ocean county mall. They had some spydercos ,benchmades,buck and victorinox. They had their share of flea market knives as well. Good ol krust was oodiling a sage when a customer walks in and says all loud and rude, "you got any gerbers". To wich the clerk replied ,"sorry but no". The rude customer then said, "well then you ain't got nothing good enough for me" . I just laughed at him as he stormed off
 
I only carry a SAK

aint nothing wrong with sak's........haha that guy was such a jerk there was a bunch of costumers being helped and he interrupted all of them
 
My father in law carries a CRKT M-16, boss carries Benchmade Automatics, one coworker carries a microtech, and I bought my brother in law a Spyderco dragonfly 2. Don't really see, or don't notice, any really cool knives on people in public.

I rarely see guys rocking anything but the old BUCK in it's leather sheath. Sad really, being from Ohio which has more high quality knifemakers, by far and away, than any State in the Union. Well I do my part and even gift out some decent knives but it's pretty lame really. I wish all of our knifemakers would re-locate and save me a small fortune in Sales Tax!

That is pretty funny huh. :D

Most people buy knives at Big Box stores, flea markets and gas stations.

To most people a high end knife is a Buck 110, I have heard the experts recommend it as a high end knife many times...

I never say a word though, I just walk away when they say: You have to get one of them Buck 110's, now that's a real knife, but you might have to save up for it because it's a high dollar knife.

Probably because of the lack of places to buy. In my city, there is 1 store that I know of selling quality knives, but their prices are sometimes 50%-100% more than I can get them online. I imagine it would be hard to sustain a store selling only high end knives since 90% of the population thinks it's insanity to spend $100 on a knife.
 
Down here in Mexico it is even rarer to see any quality knives being carried. When I was sent to the Air Mobil Group, most of the commanding officers carried large fixed blades, most of the were kabars and chine’s survival knives, but there was this one Captain that carried this.



I knew what it was right away when I saw the handle. He was defiantly impressed that I knew what it was. After we passed training we were allowed to carry whatever knife we wanted. I went with a kabar warthog.

I know that's right, we just had the only good one around here shut down a few months ago.
 
One of the guys at work carries his knife clipped to his belt, on the outside!

I saw it the other day and asked him -
"How many knives have you lost of bent the clip out carrying them that way?"
His reply -
"Only 2..."

Not sure what it was, it looked like one of the Lowes/Home Depot specials (Sheffield)

Another guy at work carries a Military in his back pocket. He saw me pulling out a Kershaw Skyline and came over to ask me what kind of knife that was. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a pretty well used Military, he aslo had a Delica in his RFP that he uses for food prep.

Geesh, you'd think he'd have figured out a waistband carry?? Only 2 - is 2 too many!

Saw a guy with a strider. Was the first time I've seen something other than gerber. My girlfriend just kind of rolled her eyes. Anybody ever seen quality knives on people and wondered how they aquired it, or even if they're a bladeforums member? I had never seen a strider in person until today.

Did you see So-Lo's car in the DQ parking lot? :D LOL

Around here it's like a Big Foot sighting. :D Rare, very rare.
 
I was working onsite, and there was a HVAC guy there installing AC units (it's a club).

He pulled out a Cold Steel Hatamoto and proceeded to cut electrical tape with it. When I walked over and saw how he had tried to "sharpen" it by using a file and belt sander. The blade had a recurve on it, and it was full of "steppy" grinds. He then proceeded to proclaim how he bought the last one in the city, and how this knife is made just like samurai swords. I nodded and then asked him how much he paid for it. He then said $400. I then showed him my Emerson Mini-7 and Benchmade 710. He had no idea what my knives were.

Most people that know me know that I don't like Cold Steel, but that was probably one of the worst cases of knife neglect / noneducation I have ever seen.
 
Lots of peolpe. where I'm from(gettysburg, pa)carrys a knife. But most of em will flinch at spending more that 20 bucks on one. Atleast that's the people iv seen.
 
I carry a 0200 and a blur. I have quite a few friends and relatives that carry, but most knives are kershaw blems from the sale. one friend carrys a benchmade, there are a couple of ZTs, and the occasional gaylean pro ;). that is rare. I have only ever heard about it.
