Do you believe in luck, good or bad??? Have you ever known someone who was unexplainably obviously lucky, good or bad??? Do you have a "lucky" knife? Please identify it and explain why (or how) it is your "lucky" knife. Mine is a SAK OD green Hunter. It's not even my favorite..., but it seems.., well..., LUCKY. Bad things happen when I don't carry it. Hard to explain..., but it's TRUE.
 
I'm not superstitious but luck is always on my side (simply because I WILL it to be).

But my small sebenza makes me happy (which brings me good fortune).
 
Haha, I'm not a superstitious person in the least, but I think the whole concept of luck is fun and when you are someone who repeatedly goes into high-stress situations such as a soldier, police officer or emergency responder it can provide some modicum of stress relief, through the illusion of control. This is why so many professional athletes are deeply into rituals. If you want to read an anthropological/sociological work on the subject I recommend this: http://www.anth.ucsb.edu/faculty/ptaber/VC Sum 2013web/Gmelch Baseball Magic.pdf
It is brief and enjoyable.

Now that I am done hijacking your thread, I guess my "lucky knife" for when I am going on a date or such is my Insingo Sebenza because it was a gift from close family and I treasure it. The other knife that I was gifted and hold as very "lucky" is my Emerson/Multitasker EDC-1. I have a lighter and a rune stone pendant I actually consider to be lucky. I managed to make it through some dangerous stuff with those two things on my person so I keep them in my bugout bag now.

Fun topic.
 
My ZT566. When a co-workers clothing got caught in some heavy machinery I was able to cut her hoody enough to pull her free. When it really mattered my ZT was there to get the job done and get it done fast. It hasn't left my side since.
 
Well, it just happened to me AGAIN. I left my Hunter at home today and carried an alox farmer instead. AND, the Broncos just got the crap beat out of them in an embarrassing upset. LUCK......., or FATE???
 
This one hands down!!!

Sat and watched my college football team mount some remarkable comebacks as I sat and rubbed the bolster with my thumb, kind of like a talisman :thumbup:
