What kind of folder do you carry?

Weird Wednesday, checking out this AWESOME "Tail Dragger" prototype by Butch Vallotton 🤩

Move continues. Two folders today - the Cold Steel for people asking me for a knife (our movers are missing the knife gene, apparently :) ).

I have found, unfortunately, that most people who ask to borrow a knife are not only missing the knife gene, but in most cases, the knife safety gene.

I had a. guy once ask to borrow a knife real quick when I was carrying a Shiro F3 that day. I handed out to him and he immediately went to the bed of a truck and was about to use it as a pry bar. I told him to set the knife down and take a step back. With great confusion, he did at least follow directions.

I asked him to look around and tell me what he saw... he said cars. I congratulated him on realizing that he was in an auto repair shop and then handed him a damn pry bar. Moron.

Yup.

Learned a while back, that people who know how to properly use a knife, will have their own. People who need to ask to borrow yours, have a 99% chance of being clueless about using a knife.

The last time I let someone borrow my folder years ago, I discovered that the moron used it to cut plastic on marble (even dumber; this moron was trying to impress a female coworker, by cutting open a tube of moisturizer, to help her get the last bit out. Ever since then, I added this comment to my repertoire, “If you want to white knight for someone, you’d better have your OWN damned horse and suit of shining armor”). Scratched up the marble and totally screwed up the edge on my knife.

Since then, anytime someone’s asked if they could borrow my knife, I ask, “Whaddya need to cut?”.
 
For reasons just like these I have thought about keeping a “beater” on me because I don’t trust most people borrowing my folders… Then again if you are going to need a knife maybe you should carry your own 🤔

I have definitely also just said “nah I don’t have a knife on me” if I’m pretty sure it’s going to be them borrowing it to do something stupid.

Well, we're done moving our stuff and the Cold Steel knife survived. Also, it's my work Frenzy (a duplicate), and - at < $150 value - feels more comfortable to hand to other people than a Shiro F3, I'm guessing :)

Back to more fancy knives today ... love my Ti 110:

Looking outside now, I'm real happy that we finished moving our stuff last night:
