i find that it helps,in urban situations to have a knife that looks as little like a weapon as possible.Well i hope this doesnt turn out weird... thread posted with 0 content in it?
Anyhow:
I have been carrying a knife every day for a little over a year and was amazed how many weird looks i got when people notice i have a knife. I guess i shouldn't be surprised... anything more dangerous than a toothpick generally gets a funny look in the city.

awesome.I'm actually amazed at how many people don't carry knifes. I got my first knife (Not really a knife but one of those old school grooming tools) when I was 3, after I liberated my sister from her pack n' play I was grounded from sharp things till I turned 4. That was when I got my first pen knife. I've been carrying one ever since.
I sometimes carry the Glock 26 with a 33rd. Mag. Someone once said "Nice Magazine" but other than that nobody seemed to notice or give me any weird looks.Well i hope this doesnt turn out weird... thread posted with 0 content in it?

I know this has been discussed a zillion times before, but it just came up during my day to day and i figured i would share.

Anyhow over Christmas, through 3 gift opening gatherings with various parts of the family, every single person looked to me when they needed a knife to open their present. "Ohh, "sQuid" has a knife!"
I guess this is just a little mini example of how people will react if the SHTF. they will look at you weird and make comments if they know you stock items to prepare, but when they need something you know where they are going to go.![]()
Hate to say it but then you're carrying the knife wrong; where everyone can see it and therefor be frightened of it...If that isn't the case then your flashing the blade.I have been carrying a knife every day for a little over a year and was amazed how many weird looks i got when people notice i have a knife.

Looks like this but pushed all the way in. I usually wear black, green or grey work pants and have a couple knives to match.Hate to say it but then you're carrying the knife wrong; where everyone can see it and therefor be frightened of it...If that isn't the case then your flashing the blade.

NYC regs, Must be totally concealed,, I guess they might scare people,, me, I would rather they had to be visible,, that would make more sense if you have to have some kinda rule about themI carry around a Gerber Auto most days.

I've never had any one say any thing about and I've had the knife since 09 or so it was a gift from a supply guy after I got back Iraq.
I don't see a reason to have to conceal a knife they're legal to have and carry.
