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

[stabman]

What about my shirt? Can I use my shirt?

No, that's uncouth.
You're supposed to use someone else's shirt.

Or use your knife as a toothpick.

My SAK has a toothpick just for those occasions. In SE Asia using a toothpick at the table is pretty much normal everywhere.

they don't let me in fancy anythings ...

 

[brownshoe]

So those of us that use our own knives at restaurants are considered uncouth?

The title of this thread has the use of your pocket knife at "fancy" restaurant, not a BBQ joint.

Ever been to one?

Is that what this thread is about? lol

Do you support fancy restaurant visits with your mind as well?

Might be why you'd get an uncouth vibe if you used your own knife....

You know very well that moniker was given to me by an anonymous member. Guess you can't take a joke.

Thanks for keeping me humble.

Oh, I'm not the one who can't take a joke.

Best not to kid about someone else's means when you've got that title.

Now, that’s funny! I was not expecting that response at all. Made me laugh. That’s not easy to do.

I can honestly say I’ve never had anyone comment on me using my own knife or chopsticks in a restaurant

than again I don’t stand up and announce that I am about to use my own knife

I ate my meal discreetly wiped my blade off with my napkin and put it back in my jacket pocket

not a big deal

Personally, I find the thought of using a SAK toothpick disgusting.

You put your napkin back in your jacket pocket? That’s uncouth!

 

[justjed]

It's only uncouth if it's a paper napkin!

OK, or a feminine napkin. Someone was going to say it......

 

[sabre cat]

Wow! That went in a direction I never expected.

 

[justjed]

Thank you, I'll be here all week!
And don't forget to tip your waitress...

 

[HopalongCassidy]

No. Never had the need.
But if you have the need to say, “Hey everyone, look at my knife”
Knock yourself out. Lol.

 

[abbazaba]

I don't generally use the knife in my pocket for food.

 

[Houlahound]

What about my shirt? Can I use my shirt?

You wear shirts to restaraunts, my you are the fancy one.

 

[cistercian]

I have rarely done it. No one notices. At lower class lunch places I like to
read while I eat and the Styrofoam folding box is too big so I just slice the lid off.
No one cares. But I don't use a Police 3 or 4 or benchmade infidel to do it...
so there is that. A para 2 is a great food slicer. I have cut burgers and other sandwiches
into a better size for the kids even in high end places...but rarely.
I do not whip out the ZT 0452CF or 462CF either. I cut off a string from my daughters
dress at Church with a Para 2 once...some people never looked at me the same way
again after that.
