Pocket Knives

[Potatosniper]

Do you own one, how old were you when you bought it, do you carry it with you religiously.
I noticed that many males in my country when they turn 17-18 and get their first job they seem
to always spend one of their first paychecks on a pocket knife, I myself have even fallen into this
trend, do you?

who needs a pocket knife when in this country it's now legal for anyone to carry around a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ machine gun?

[SMIFFY]

No, I can't think of a realistic scenario where I'd need a knife when out and about.

[Odra]

I was given a small basset knife when I was around 8, around 10 I got a victorinox classic as a gift.

I stopped receiving pockets knives as gifts when my parents found out that I had turned an icing spatula into a machete.

Currently I either carry a victorinox huntsman lite or a gerber flatiron

[Psycho]

my older friend gave me one last week, he always carries 2 on him. I don't carry mine on me right now. I wanna carry a gun instead

but I've seen pocket knives become very useful before. I saw a video of a stray dog attacking and biting on to a child, and the father just pulled out a pocket knife, stuck the dog a little, and it loosened its jaw and ran off

so pocket knives can be very useful ESPECIALLY for dog or animal attacks

[↑↑↓↓←→←→BASelect]

Yes I have a Swiss army knife.

[Ⓥenom Ⓢnake 🐍]

Sure. I have a number of them. I carry two 3in bladed in a belt sheath on my back right hip and a multi tool on the other hip.

[Vinegaroon]

I’m a scout, have several and been carrying since I was 10.

[Silverlight]

I carried a buck 110 from 17-24.


Eventually it stopped being theoretical though and you realize walking around armed invites more conflict than it solves.

[Kenneth Adams]

I think it's illegal here

[Bing Chilling]

i have one, though i dont usually bring it anywhere.

[aqua star]

I have one it's currently locked in my safe.

Цитата допису BlackBloodRum:

For a pocket knife to be legal to carry without good reason it must be less than 3 inches long (7.62 cm) and non-locking.

Being non-locking it basically means if you tried to stab something (or someone) the blade would probably close and cut your own fingers off (don't try it, it'll hurt).

Small and non-locking knives can be lethal too if you know where to cut and if you are quick enough.

I know. I was explaining the legality involved, nothing more.

Besides, you don't need weapons to klll someone. You can kill someone by using the "knife edge" of your bare hand along the bridge of their nose. If you do it hard enough it can cause death, not so hard you're looking at temporary blindness, breakage and sharp pain.

This is just one of many methods (which I won't go into detail over for obvious reasons).

Suffice to say, weapons are not necessary to cause death.

[Heitor Villa-Lobos]

People in Brazil generally buy an accoustic guitar, even if its one most violent countries on the planet (higher violent deaths then countries on war).

Many times they don't know how to play it, and if that doesn't make them learn, they will pass it to some friend or cousin.

Also, its tradition to buy a round of beers, ofc.

Knife is very important tool to have. without knife we never would have conquered nature. A good knife is sharper, stronger and longer than any tooth or claw in nature. Knife is god.
