What is the worst sheeple reaction you have ever gotten in your life? For me, other than many "DUDE WTF DONT STAB ME!"'s, the funniest was probably the other day. I was at the movies with these two girls, right? Now, I was sitting there, watchin' Smokin Aces (awesome movie by the way), and I was kinda out of it. So, I did what I always do when I am sitting in one place for too long at home-I whip out my knife and start to strop it on my pant leg (yes, it doesn't do much, but I enjoy it). Now, of course, today was the day I had decided to bring my 3" blade along with me, and lets just say I got some weird looks, and for the rest of the movie they sat a little less close to me. At the moment, it was rather embarrassing. So, what is your worst/funniest sheeple reaction ever?

NOTE: I don't do this that often, this was the first bad knife experience I've had (Those WTF DONT STAB ME were mostly in joking, I was using it for legitimate purposes)
 
That's just stupid, man, You could have been arrested for doing that. I can't find the law at the moment but in CA it's illegal to even present your knife in a way that is PERCEIVED to be a threat. It could be closed, you could just be holding it innocuously, and if a LEO doesn't like you, you've had it. I'm sure other states and nations have similar laws. The last thing you should do is sharpen it in public in a way that most people won't understand (stropping on your LEG). Especially in a public area, while sitting near other people who are not comfortable with knives!! I have made similar mistakes in the past, and no matter how harmless the act was or your intent at the moment, unless those around you know you very well and trust you, the sight of you producing what to them is a deadly weapon is understandably frightening.

Well, I exaggerated a wee bit, I didn't quite whip it out and strop it on my pant leg, I just kind of held it down by my side and rubbed it against my pant leg, drying it off (it was hot in there). Its not like I made a big show of it, and I wasn't being scary or anything. We even laughed about it afterwards.
 
Well you should be more subtle. It's not illegal in itself, but that doesn't mean that what you do with it can't send you to jail. For example, here in CA it's legal to walk around with a live sword (for whatever reason, martial arts, antique collecting) but if you say, bring a live sword into a castro st. halloween parade.. like a friend of mine did.. you will get in big trouble.
 
I once whipped out my BM Tsek Walnut LE in coated, P.S. M2....

... and four nuns fell over and died.
 
It's funny that way when dresse dup you must have fake swords, but in your normal real life, please don't refrain from carring a real sword. I love living in CA.

Wow. You should know better than to be whipping out your knife in public for no reason. It seems that you enjoy deliberately frightening people. If you keep it up, you'll eventually be locked up. Immature twits who "play" with knives in public -- as you do -- give all knife owners a bad reputation, and encourage the "sheeple" to vote for politicians who promise to do things like ban the carrying of knives.

Don't pull out your knife unless you intend to cut something with it.
 
I think after the first "DUDE WTF DONT STAB ME!" comment you received, should have sent a light on upstairs, lets hope its not burnt out.

I agree. A knife should be carried as a tool, not a toy to impress others. I always have a knife on me and rarely hesitate to use it for a legitimate cutting task. I think that a lot of us here would have been a little concerned by your actions had we been in that theater.

Don't be an ass! It makes the rest of us look bad!
 
I was carrying a Buck Crosslock in a belt sheath at work. Never took it out - and the lady who took over my payroll duties called it a "killer" knife.

I carried a clip after that - and she and others continued to drag in paring knives, butcher knives, and cake knives for lunch and birthdays in their purse.

No clue about concealed carry across three state lines on their part. It's not an even playing field, and never will be.
 
Ive actually never had much sheeple remarks since I only use my knife cutting stuff that needs to be cut. The worst remark I think ive got is "
wow that knife is a weapon!" but it was said in a joking matter.
 
I think people are giving you kind of a hard time for something you've embelished a little. Hell I play with my knife all the time, but you do need to realize when the company is correct.

I will give you a hard time about smokin' aces. I thought it was terrible. I did see grindhouse yesterday and loved that.
 
You're lucky you didn't get arrested or sued into oblivion for "brandishing a deadly weapon." Good job giving the whole knife community a bad rep there, junior. :thumbup:

You said what I would have said. bravo:thumbup: .
 
The worst reaction I've gotten is "why do you need to carry a . . wooah, stop stabbing me! stop stabbing me! gaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhh!" Sheesh, you'd think they'd never seen a knife before.


Actually, I think it was going out to dinner with friends and my buddy's wife started grilling me about why do I need a knife. "To cut stuff - you know, like opening fedex boxes at work and stuff". She kept trying to shoot holes in my reasons, "nope - fed ex boxes have that pull tab thing!" Apparently she was getting really mad at me. I'm a lawyer, so I usually don't notice when people are arguing with me. I can't distinguish angry argument from normal discussion. Ask my wife. So I was more than happy to continue our discussion about knives, not realizing how worked up my friend's wife was getting. Finally, my friend turned to her and said, "but I carry a knife every day". She was speechless - apparently she had no idea.

I think she had an awakening a few months later when they were visiting his parents and his dad told him that he needed to store his gun collection somewehere else. She had no idea about the guns either.

Last weekend they were visiting at our house and she wanted to see my knives. No more hysteria - she was actually interested in seeing my collection. Pretty cool.
