Wow. First, I was no longer addressing
Quiet in my last post. I was directly responding to someone else and discussing the general issue. Second, some people actually have been rude. Third, who is it that's brow-beating a guy for trying to explore a concept here?
I'm sure it was a joke on your part but I actually was involved in a college debate team. I was in charge of maintaining Roberts Rule's for the SGA. I have spent time on public forums and "town halls" IRL. I wouldn't expect anything so rigorous here. However, I did expect discussion here to be on par with what I've found through fellowship in other hobbies, sports, clubs, fraternal organizations, or even the local pub. I was wrong. I've already apologized for those expectations and I had already left poor
Quiet alone, so you can put down the metaphorical torches.
So for you, any possible joy of use would be stacked against knowledge of where it was made. It would act as a constant reminder of the issues you've got with China and appreciably spoil that joy of use for you. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I suppose we could ask why anything matters. Why do we discuss anything here? What does it matter what your knife peeves are, or your preferred EDC steel, or your favorite camping knife? I'm not demanding anything. I've simply asked some questions. You know,
discussion? You've got an apparently strong opinion on something but refuse to explain or discuss it. Okay. I stopped asking you. So please, relax.
Back to the regularly scheduled program; I'd agree with barbaric knife laws as a peeve. The widespread prohibition on automatic knives is a case of logical flat tires.
