blades are the weapon of choice in australian crime, according to some recent research
me, i just use my cutting wit
that's what i call my stanley knife
my tongue is my knife
and by that i mean some guy at home depot sharpened it for me so i guess all sharpened things are knives
more importantly, i have a box cutter, a sharp van key, and a swiss army knife/pliers. i alos technically have throwing knives because they are awesome, but these aren't sharp
the van key wasn't sharpened by anyone it just kind of came that way.
you press the button and the key flies open, switchblade style
there was a story about some dude opening his car, a carjacker walking up to him, and the dude stabbed the carjacker with the key five or six times until he ran off
I used to use a Swiss Card for all of my cutting needs. It fit in my wallet and had a knife, scissors, toothpick, pin, pen and a screw driver in it. It was really cool until the compartment I was keeping it in fell apart so I had to stop using it.
i have never had need for a knife when there wasnt one easily available
do not try to justify carrying a knife around as anything other than wanted to be a tough man while being scared of other people
Then you and I simply encounter very different situations. Having a knife handy is very useful. Also, you really couldn't be more wrong about the whole "tough man" thing. There is no way anyone should ever use a fucking pocket knife in a fight.
They don't intend to use it, they'd shit their pants like the rest of us if somebody pulled a knife on them. It's just that they feel the need to carry it around like a security blanket and make up a bunch of bullshit situations to justify it.
"What if you need to cut rope?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I hate the swiss so much.
is it still racism if you just hate people from one particular country even though I'm the same race as them?

So I bought a "Birds Are Weird" poster for my dorm, and everyone who walks in asks me about it. This is especially problematic when girls are over, as they'll ask other guys what it means, and the guys will play it off as me being weird. No one gets it, not that there is anything to get.
Help, my sense of humor is turning me into the college weirdo.

Tell them it's from a comic on the intertrons about video gaming, violence, and latent homosexuality. Then stick your hand in their pants, male or female.

I know the comma here is unintentional

No, I just got cut off. My harddrive in my laptop at work died horribly and I'm stuck on the "everybody who visits uses this piece of shit" computer until I get a replacement. So, for some strange reason, half way through typing the message it just went "hey, you're done now, I'll post this" for no reason.
I found this keychain, it's metal and about 2" long and has a skull on each side, and the eyes of the skull are hollow, and there are two naked chicks encircling the skull, and there's a snake coming out of the skulls' mouth and wrapping itself around a heart, and the heart is another skull on the other side, and IT'S ALSO A KNIFE.

sounds like the other guys are trying to fuck the girls you're bringing around
the poster is not the problem
I didn't bring them around.
It's not really a problem, I just wanted to mention it. It's annoying that my friends don't like awesome things, and that it leads to me feeling awkward.
I have a Wenger Swiss Army Knife, a Victornox knife, small folding-plyers multitool, a large folding-plyers multitool (it might be a Leatherman, I can't remember), and a 6" Buck knife.
I carry my Wenger Swiss army knife, and use it daily. When camping I keep the Buck sheathed on my belt during the day. The small folding plyers is in the Emergency kit in my Pathfinder. The larger folding plyers is in my tacklebox.

Oh, hey, I just wanted to point out to Teefs that carrying knives has many practical uses. For example, speed.

Get a Wustof or a high-end Henckels or Cutco. The Cutco one is probably going to be the best bang for your buck knife, but for insanely high quality get Henckels or Wustof.
and take care of it.
Get one of those magnet strips and store it up there. Don't keep it in the plastic thing it comes in, if you have to keep it in a draw with other utensils, wrap it in a dish cloth.
Also, learn how to use a steel and use it to take the burs off the knife every time you cut with it, but don't try to sharpen with a steel, sharpen with a whet stone and oil, or send it off to be sharpened.
Take care of a good knife and you can keep it and use it forever.
This is true. However, if you don't feel like babying your knife then get a Cutco. Those are designed to not really be taken care of at all (yes I work for them and no I am not biased.. I love my amazing Henckels knife).
I was wondering how you could say what you were saying... Knowing that you work for them, it all makes sense.
Cutco are shit knives, don't believe me? Ask any other professional cook, they will laugh at you for using a cutco knife.
As far as good Chef knives: Wustof, Victorianox, Henckles... Are all good brands. Though I find them all to dull rather quickly and require annoying amounts of attention to keep the edge. My personal favorites are Shun and CCI. Shun are a folded Vanadium steel knife, extremely well made, and they look awesome too. CCI are cheap, but hold their edges quite well and can take a beating. I've actually found a lot of cooks switch to them from Wustof and the higher end knives, mainly due to cost and the frequency of theft in kitchens... Not to mention they are the best knife for your money.

Everyone runs faster with a knife.
This also works with Scissors.
And this one's always in my backpack. I've had a couple different Leatherman tools and this one from Gerber has been far superior.
Basically to look cool and scare the shit out of the Ramones.

I have the same knife as that, but it doesn't seem to hold an edge for very long, and I'm looking for a new one currently
I carry a small one in my car, one in my book bag, and in my hiking pack. They're bloody useful things.
