who needs a sharp pointed plastic knife??

I have carried one on occasion. Years ago I bought one of the AG Russell ones, based on the Sting 1A (?I think?) & I have a Cold Steel Delta Dart.
Id never try to carry it into a courthouse, airport etc but I HAVE carried it into nightclubs before, not really for use IN the Nightclub (I hope!), there are plenty of bouncers built like brick s***houses in Manchester clubs, but sometimes when walking thru the nastier part of town, I think it could possibly have its uses! (I hope NOT!)
Incidentally, the only time Ive ever had to use a blade to defend myself was in an attempted mugging by two "Big Issue" (magazine sold by homeless people in England!) sellers & all i had with me was a Leatherman Wave! I gave the attacker a quick, shallow jab in the forearm with the blade when he grabbed me & then I ran like buggery!!
 
"Why does someone NEED a plastic knife"?
For that matter, why does someone NEED a 400.00 dresser queen?
Why does someone NEED a car that can go faster than the posted speed limit in one's AO?
Why does anybody NEED one of those evil assault rifles?
Why does my young, nubile wife NEED larger-than-average bewbies?

I'll tell ya why: Because some things are just FUN, that's why.

Talk about hitting the nail on the head- exactly.

Because they can. Just like owning any gun we want, or fast motorcylce, or whatever. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

But, the MRI machine raises interesting needs. And not just medical MRI machines, but anyone working around scientific and industrial nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers. Indeed, any machine with a powerful magnet or which might be affected by a large piece of metal; perhaps, for example, someone working with a sensitive magnotometer.

I work around NMR spectrometers on a daily basis and I currently use a titanium credit card knife for cutting PTFE tape from it. Before this I used a sharpened piece of wood.
Disposable polycarbonate blades would be a good item to have in the 'NMR toolkit' at work. I shall try and seek some out but last year non-metallic knives that were not for food use were banned in the UK, so I may have trouble finding anything sharp rather than simply serrated.
Thanks for the idea though!
 
In terms of relying on commercial airlines for my spy work its just not necessary as I much prefer my jetpack so no need to worry about metal detectors. Unfortunately the jet pack also tends to melt my plastic knives. Moving through enemy security checks or night club security I don't have to worry about metal detectors as I rely on the jedi mind trick. And as for defending myself against ninjas especially around MRI machines I rely on good old fashion wizardry and majic spells to repel such foes. So personally I have no use fo them as I am quite at home with a good quality United Cutlery Katana, preferable one that liiks like its from outerspace or has a dragon on the handle. Seriously though I'm gonna have to side with J&J13 on this one, some things are just fun to have.

My bad. I'd say you could expel me for that, except I was never a member...

I did just think of another use for plastic knives! You can buy them in bulk from grocery stores and use them for picnics!
 
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I HATE to travel without a knife close at hand.
So I could see the desire to smuggle a plastic knife onboard a plane, but as Gollnick said, you're taking your chances with the security folks.

As for the mall ninjas--I don't know.
But I imagine plastic knives are rather popular in prisons around the world.
I once saw a prison shank made from a toothbrush--crude but effective.

Cheers,
Allen.
 
Yeah, prisoners can be quite creative at times. I remember reading an article in Knive Illustrated a few years ago that had an article written specifically on knives and shanks made by prisoners. It was definately interesting.
 
Hey daverave999:

Recently, a co-worker needed to purchase a couple of non-magnetic screwdrivers and in order to meet the minimum purchase amount (and because he's aware of my knife addiction) added a knife to the order. It's listed here:

http://www.oxford-instrumentsdirect.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=Superconductivity&category%5Fname=Non%2Dmagnetic&product%5Fid=S7%2D120


I actually haven't had a need to use it yet; I generally find my growing collection of magnetized pocket knives suffice for most applications. It also has an unusually shaped blade. I realize it won't fill the legal requirement of being useful for food prep (these alloys are toxic) but perhaps it would be allowed? Good luck.

Oh Man! I totally agree I hate travelling without a knife, it is more likely that the plane will crash usually resulting in impending death, but if you do make it, I would want to have a knife on me espicially if it was at sea (which it usually is) because there is no way to reach non carry-on items.

Also i just feel naked and pissed off because their are a million and one other reasons to carry one.
 
Thanks for the kind words, Gentlemen, but I must, in good conscience, point you to the original inspiration for my little rant:
http://www.ct71st.com/amibad.html which may be more food for thought for the rest of you. Always a pleasure.

On the other hand, I guess I missed yet another opportunity to play "Pile On the Cold Steel Guy." Oh, well; maybe next time.
 
and there's nothing more satisfying than realizing my mind has hit a sizeable speed bump, CS San Mai 9.99!!!?
