You are not a man if you don't own a knife

Some really good advise, thank you lxskllr. Gonna bookmark this page and shop amazon. Got lost in the mountains once and the entire time I remember thinking, wish I had water and a knife to defend myself lol.

hey, you never know when you're going to get attacked

like at a bar

some big dude charging at you

what you gonna do?

That only happens to me when watching movies, i.e. it's the movie, not real life. For openers, I don't hang out in bars. I got over that on my 21st birthday. No big dude has every charged me, period. Guess I'm the prince of peace.

I HATE having to drop what I'm doing to go hunt any implement that I forgot to bring with me, much less a pocket knife that I should be trained to always have on me by now.

The little gizmo I have connected to my key chains cost me a buck at local hardware store. You push on a sliding button that auto-retracts via a spring. When you push, it exposes a tiny razor sharp blade, which I sharpen on occasion with a fine stone. These handle 98% of the cutting scenarios I come across, maybe more. So, I have one of these whenever I have one of my sets of keys on me, which is always when I'm not home.

I also have one of these but alsmost never use it.

That is my EDC. I never leave the house without it. I also have a Buck 110X for hunting.

This cheap knife is beside my bed.

You use steak sauce? You are so fucking fired right now.

Was that dough boy one of those "offers by mail" deals?

And that is the ugliest collection of knives I have seen, you win. Or lose?

I use the A1 on hamburgers,chops and chicken now and then myself, not on steaks

The dough boy is a ceramic piggy bank someone bought the wife, she just always liked dough boy in the past and someone got her one as a present.

Yeah, I know those knives are ugly.

That dinky little paring knife I inherited from my grandmother is pretty useful, it has seen a lot of use over time.

:biggrin:

Of course, owning a knife won't make you a man, either.

But the OP stated that you are not a Man U less you own a knife ... Yet he then states that he does not own a knife.

Wha?

This thread got me to thinking I should modify my knife to make it more like what I want.

I think that cutting off the end of the blade and grinding it down as above would work. My wife has the tools to do the work without heating the steel too much. The end result probably wouldn't have the same satin finish but I could get pretty close.

If you're gonna do that, I'd go with a spear or drop point
