knives

You carry a knife around... cause its beautiful?

No, I plan on displaying it in my home, and the quoted poster took offence to it.
It's illegal to carry a knife for the sake of protection where I live. ^^

Oh I get you there. I used to be into some of those hand crafted thingies in like... bone or whatever.

I would love to but I don't want that kind of responsibility. Read: I'd rather be robbed than something happen and me have that in my possession.

Remember I live in NY.

Probably a good idea then to have a knife around when I expect the end of the world or live in uncivilized times and areas.

You live a very sheltered life if you never had a reason to use a knife.

Erm. not really. Id argue the overwhelming majority of people never had a reason to use a knife.

I find reasons to use mine nearly every day. It's quite an useful, multi-purpose tool.

So you've never eaten food before then?

Oddly enough I don't often carry a knife, just my Glock 19.

I do keep one in my truck console though.

Meh, I use mine for cutting boxes, rope, snipping wire and sometimes eating steak when the bread knife they provide me with is shit.

Haha, I know this too well. Very rarely do I end up using the actual provided knife instead of my own, for that purpose alone.

In a building site Id have a stanley knife. Never found a use for a knife as in those knife shown in the pictures in here that a scredriver cant do.

Id usually use kitchen knives.

So now you've gone from never having a use for a knife to having 1 use for them. Have you never opened boxes? Cut paper? cut rope? mowed the lawn?

Totally understand in a working scenario kind of environment.

"Anyone have a knife? My Amazon package just arrived!"

/pulls out Glock

"Don't worries guys I got this!"

Anything you can do with your knife, I can do with my carry.

In a building site id have a stanley knife. I never found a use for what you mentioned outside the building site. Can open boxes with hands or keys if its taped. Cut paper? Not much use for rope around here I guess. I use a lawnmower for cutting the grass as using a knife would make it even more tedious.

You do know that lawn more blades are knives right?

[Enthusiastic Steward]

At absolutely no point in my day to day life in 32 years have I ever went like... -Damn! A knife would be handy right now!
When I'm camping/fishing/hunting/DIYing things I do have knives on hand. At the office I have a letter opener and at home I have knives in my kitchen and toolbox.

I read this as: "I have never been in a situation where a knife would be useful. Now, let me list all the things I do where a knife would be useful."

Erm. not really. Id argue the overwhelming majority of people never had a reason to use a knife.

For stabby-stabby maybe. But a knife is really just a tool with a sharpened edge. Most people have been in some situation where it would be helpful/easier to have a tool with a sharpened edge. Opening a taped box is an obvious example. Many people have had to open boxes.

Edit: You said you can open boxes with hands or keys in a following post. Yes. Yes you can. But if I have a well-sealed box a knife is still the quickest, cleanest, most efficient option and I will prefer that over gouging at it with my keys or ripping it with my hands. I CAN do those things, that doesn't mean a knife wouldn't be an easier option.

I carry one with me if its a workday. I work with coating equipment and its frequently useful to use for cutting substrate or to cut out samples for analysis. You can have a knife for reasons other than self-defense.

Which exactly led to my original statement. If a person never needs a knife, even when in a working scenario, that person is extremely sheltered.

Yeah thats stretching. I thought we were talking about knives you can carry around, and not lawnmowers. Im sure you could carry a lawnmower around though. NOt sure how handy it would be though.

In that case, then you're right. I thought you meant in a "badass stabby stabby way"

You said you've never had any use for knives. Now you're moving the goalpost.
