Holy necro thread batman.

I find a woman who carries a knife very attractive.

Oh, I was actually welcoming MRC220 (Haven't figured how to insert someone's name in the way that they get a notification yet) who resurrected this old thread.

Gotcha.

Inserting a username is really simple. Type the "at" ( @ ) sign, and then type the username exactly as it is spelled right after it - no space. Autofill pops up to help you select the member. LimpCroissant LimpCroissant

My wife has a nice small Spyderco and a baby Glock.
She will sometimes carry the knife, if on a trip with a gf. She does NOT carry the Glock.

shane45-1911 shane45-1911 Ah ha! Nice man thank you, I've been wondering how to do that for awhile! Haha. I appreciate it.
 
I think some people judge knife-carrying in general, if anything, I think a woman is less likely to get those looks unless she has one of those silly weapons from BudK for Girls, or, uh, BladesForBabes or whatever. I have read many a story of a guy with a SAK or something being asked stuff like "Whoa, is that from your ghetto days or something??" by a perfect stranger!

I think its awesome when girls carry. My girlfriend carried this busted rainbow Timberwolf when I met her and screws just fell outta the thing. Got her an upgrade in the form of a Higonokami, but that wasn't right for her, so gave her a RAT2 in AUS-8, that was better. Then, what has really been successful, a Sage 5 in M4. She also appropriated my SAK and purple Opinel no. 6! That's her EDC along with some Sabre Red.

EDIT: Just realized this thread is old enough to fight, vote and smoke, it's old enough to hop in bed with me. That's fine though, I've seen old threads brought up and go on for ten pages.

Wife is a nurse, at work and off work she carries a Nutnfancy edition Endura 4 in s35vn. If she's out by herself or with girlfriends she appendix carries a RMR'd Glock 43x. Honestly she is good enough that I have to stay on my toes with live fire training, otherwise she'll make me look bad on flat range days lol.. 😅

Be thankful she is that good with her Glock. Might come a time when she has to be that good with it.
 
my wife always carries her keychain spydy ladybug, but also a proper folding ~ 3" blade
while the kids were growing up, it was amazing how often they'd be called to duty
 
Holy Necro Batman! (EDIT: LOL I just saw that my reaction was the same as the Mod above.)
This thread is just about as old as the forum!

I wish all women would carry knives.

I'm a normal female who carries on my person at least two knives at all times. One of which is concealed and one that is clipped to my waist band or pocket.

My issue lies with all the ignorant people out there who think that a woman with a knife is a freak. That we are something to be feared and something to be ridiculed or made to feel stupid. ( I have an indepth posting about this w/ in the Spyderco forum: titled knives and women who carry them. Should you want more detail about my story)

The question I have is why are we any different then a man who has a knife? Why are we "freaks" when we pull out our knife to cut open a bag of jerky? Can we not take care of ourselves? Funny, its ok for us to use "kitchen" knives, to cut onions for dinner, steaks for our family.....but God forbid we "carry" a knife and use it outside of the kitchen!!

Not a freak. A knife is a tool. if you live here in Texas, you may openly or covertly carry about any sharp or pointed instrument you wish in public. This is not true in many states and jurisdictions. Over in the UK it is worse I hear.

However: It has been my experience and observation that many women are adverse to using a knife for anything outside of food preparation. I worked in a clinical setting years ago, and found that my coworkers (mostly women) insisted on using scissors for cutting about anything . . . as opposed to my Buck 110, or later on my Leatherman Wave.

It may have been a pocket issue, but I don't really think so.

You may be in the minority of women on the knife thing . . .but you are NOT a freak.

You replied to someone who hasn't been on here since 2006...
 
I don't care what my missus carries and have never looked at it in that way. She works on my 110 defender (Landrover) and although she doesn't buy knives she carries and uses the ones I buy for her.

She loves her SAK's and her little Carbone Opinel when we go foraging.
