Would you use your own classy gents folder at a fancy restaurant?

Yep

I wouldn't whip out a knife at a fancy restaurant, Ive tried and my wife gives me the death stare...:(o_O

I did however get asked to leave a Wendy's one time by management because a lady by the name of Karren with a short "I wanna speak to a manager" haircut was deeply afraid and offended by a knife sheath hanging from my belt while I was eating a burger.

I was however naked at the time...

Yep. The 30-45 year old woman is the bane of knife enthusiasts and stand up comics. She is first in line to complain to the manager that she's scared of that knife/knife guy or offended by the comics material.

I love these. I want an entire set.

Or I might just do the Boker Burnley Steak Kwaiken thing. They're pretty neat too.

Bradford Knives does sell a set of 6. Or they used to anyway. You can always email Mr. Larkin. He's a helluva nice guy.

I like the style of the Boker but I can't do made in China stuff.
 
I like many of the Böker stuff, too. Design-wise... The place of production is a gamble. As with most of the great brands, by the way.
 
I've had a few days to think about this, and I find there are a number of slants and nuances that might apply. For example, anything you take into a place of business will involve you, the service person, his boss, the owner, and customers near you. Think of the last time a rowdy gathering interrupted your dinner.

When my wife and I dine out we always pick the most remote, uneventful section of the establishment for eating. Who knows what type of family will be seated next to you about mid-meal. For my wife and I, we pick a quiet eatery so we can discussion some important issue or how finances will be divided.

Then again, we have now both retired. Having six screaming children should be a condition we are spared. Frankly, I do not wish to add to the staff's problems.

Yeah, I always wish I had a better knife at a restaurant. Having thought this over, I think I'll just take the crumpled utensils they give me, smile, and enjoy dinner.
 
Never really cared for the serrated chain saws they provide.. EDC fixed worked great last night.. local steakhouse.. mm-mmm..good. oh.. and Happy Birthday to my wife. j/s
 
If that fancy restaurant got crap, dull knives
Yes,
I'll use mine immediately :^D
 
I haven't been to a sit-down restaurant since this thread started, let alone a fancy one.

Still fat though.
 
I would have to make sure it is clean first, nothing like tape or glue on your knife to ruin your appetite. 😀
 
I only had to do that once. We went to a “cowboy cookout” type thing…. Nothing fancy. We had great big steaks and plastic dinnerware. Nothing worse than a 40 oz. T bone and a spork!
