Your WORST sheeple reaction?

It's an S30V leek with black g10 scales and stainless liners. I bought it over a year ago because I specifically needed a small, one hand-opening pocketknife at work (usually when I'm hanging off a ladder) and I just hate those stupid exacto/razor blade knives (the blades always seem to head straight for my head when they break). The knife is used every day and I've only ever had to sharpen it once (best production blade I've ever owned, but of course I have a price limit). As for the cement bags, you don't cut into the product inside, just the fold on the top of the bag (open it up like a zipper - edge up). I bought it as a user, and I use it. If the blade ever gets trashed, I'll make a new one.

irwin does make some "unbreakable" bi-metal blades and there is a spring assisted opening razor knife. just as a suggestion, obvisouly you bought a leek to use it but if you ever do get to a point when it gets impraticle to keep sharping it or what ever you have some good options.

then again making a new blade is a good option too (didnt notice that part of your post at first)

I was once threatened with a psych-eval by my platoon sergeant for trimming my fingernails with a Camillus EDC. Very strange woman. I also had another female servicemember that worked with me ask why I carried 'that thing' in reference to a BM 710. I felt compelled to point out that she had no problem with it when she asked to use it to cut an apple, yet it wasn't OK for me to use to cut open a bag of chips. I'm not sure whether she got the point or not.

Wow. When were you on active duty? I was a Naval Aviator during Desert Storm and we LIVED for all things deadly and sharp. I remember feeling extremely envious of my boss (a LT Commander) who had a VERY cool custom boot knife. Were you in a combat-oriented unit?

Well, as Lavan allus sez, "Don't do NUTTIN that could possibly ever maybe almost sort of be considered ILLEGAL!

Lavan has even bought an old PO-leece car and stenciled "American Dweeb Patrol" on the white door and put a "TO SUBMIT AND COMPLY" decal on the back fender.

Okay guys, I'm sorry, my post came out really wrong. I only whip my knife out and strop it on my leg AT HOME. That's why this experience was so unique. All the comment5s I have gotten were when I was using my knife for legitimate purposes, however, even cutting twine with my SAK Classic is too much for some people. I am not a mall ninja who only carries a knife to be cool and scare people, and this is the only time I have ever done something stupid like this.

I have only gotten positive responses so far... 1 kid saw me using a knife to cut ivy off the side of a house and said something along the lines of "pocket knives really are useful", on another occasion a girl at my church food pantry (I volunteer there, as does she, I am teh stock boy of d00m) said it was cool that I had a pocket knife.

When I'm there I often put my knife on the counter open so I can just pick it back up and cut another box open, and it's not uncommon for one of the other people there to pick it up and cut something open


NC is great
