Well, I certainly don't know about prancing  :lol:  :P  But it isn't uncommon here to carry around a knife. It was always funny to some how if a teacher would be trying to open something and couldn't, they'd ask if anyone had a knife and wouldn't be surprised at the number of people to offer one. However, that was a select few, in reality you would be arrested for carrying what the school labels "A concealed weapon."

I carry around mine because I always seem to need it here and there. Oh and if you are going to get one here is a little advise from your friendly neighborhood country boy.

The old saying goes that if you hand a man your knife closed, then he must return it closed. If you hand it to him open then he must return it opened. Why? Well, to most old timers here it's bad luck to have your knife return without it being in the same position when it was given. Do I believe it, meh maybe not but I like to be traditional in that sense.

That's not bad luck. It's called being polite!!

I do so much want to see Norightsia prance about!! Now, don't get a stilletto, just get a good ole 5 inch hunting knife. You can build a house with that if you need to!!

You know what's more offensive than your "capitalist piggery"? he sheer length of that gap. The quote is going to be enormous. <_<

I agree entirely with Harumf. A good Swiss is your best friend. I keep my simple Swiss (knife, tweasers, toothpick, bottle opener, screwdriver) in my car, my big Swiss in my bedroom (it's got just about everything but a magnifying glass) and my normal Swiss in my right or left pocket (but it doesn't have a Philips screwdriver :( ).

I also keep a very nicely balanced "kitchen" knife in my bedroom.

Gotta get round to getting a machete.

Oh and my wallet goes in my right because my knife and keys go in my left when I'm expecting trouble. Otherwise I like to have my knife under my right hand. I'm right handed.

Back pocket is easier to steal from AND more uncomfortable.

And there's nothing wrong with that post gap.

Are the ones that fold out to pliers and also have the knife, the bottle opener, and the screw drivers also put out by Swiss?

I had one but I managed to break the knife and one of the screw drivers I think but I just call it my MacGyver :lol: :P

I don't think they count. Though MacGyver is a great name.

If it was made by the same company as the Swiss Knife products, all you needed to do is send it in, and they fix it, even if you break the blade.

Nag, don't get a machette. They are too light. Get something with some heft to it that can cut someone open from shoulder to naval! I like my two-handed claymore for that! Mounts on the wall as a decoration, but comes off really quick. I also have my cane sword, which originally had a wimpy iron made-in-india blade, but now has a razor sharp tempered steel blade. I especially like my crossbow, with the good hunter tips on the bolts. At 100 feet it completely goes through a 2" by 12" pine board.

The first time I saw a machete I pulled out the blade I was carrying... (uh... no-one look into British knife law) and said "sure your's is long but mine's thicker".

Anyhoo, they're clamping down on knives. Not sure how much longer I'll be able to get the 'chete from Shilletos (the Army Surplus store on chatham highstreet, opposite the comic store - if Tony wants to arm himself). No idea where I'd get a battle ready blace. Sure a lot of places sell ornamental blades, but they're about as sharp as my thumb and I've seen butter knives with more tang.

I've been looking into getting a bow, a few of my friends have their own. Gotta ask if I need a lisence or something. Don't think I can legally own a crossbow.

However, just a little warning for all of you lot - having stuff in your front pocket doesn't mean that it won't get stolen.

Is that a wallet in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Keeping yourself alert to your surroundings is a good way of keeping your stuff. It's easier to be alert if your wallet is in your front or inside pocket.

(It also really helps not to be drunk.)

And Quaon, don't be so damn immature.

I already made a joke about how secure your cell phone has been a few posts back!!

Nag, get them now. You'll regret not getting it when they take your right to own it away (Think Henry AR7, fully colapseable into it's watertight stock, 50 round clip, convertable to a pistol grip, and has both an 8" and 12" barrel. Sold for $119.00 a few years back, and I decided to put it off. Now I can't get it in that configuration, no matter what; rifle barrel only, no pistol grip and only a 5 round clip. See final scene in From Russia with Love when Bond shoots the heleocopter pilot.)

Funny you should chose that quote :D I have a friend who at first glance you would swear was Private Pile :lol: An it only made it more classic that he was in ROTC in High School.

As for the movie itself, it's a must own in my book if only for the boot camp scenes.

I totally agree. Stanley Kubrik at his best!! At the end, that Vietnamese girl begging for her life is SO annoying I just want to shoot her myself!!

Does your friend that looks like Leonard get a crazed look in his eyes sometime? That would scare me!!

Actually he does, and he was on the riffle team (Or whatever they called it) when he was in ROTC in High School. We always made the joke he'd going into the service and get people blown up.

AN YES...the ending scene is annoying with girl.

"Whose the leader of the club that's made for you an me...MIC...KEY...MOUSE.."

Figured I'd keep the quote clean :lol:
