He didn't have a knife, never carried one. Me, I have carried a pocket knife of some type or another since age 9 or so. <br /> This was a 19 year old kid, a really nice guy, who was just starting out, and had already refurbished a trailer of his own and sold it for a profit. So he was not a slacker, just never had anyone show him that he needed to carry a knife with him all the time. Me, I usually have somewhere between 2 and 5 knives in and on my person. I just like knives, and they are for different tasks.<br /><br />pigpen51Pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01683463718454987063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976334216965295921.post-14662397338134026672020-02-21T15:00:34.055-05:002020-02-21T15:00:34.055-05:00I'm one of Tam's patreon supporters with a...I'm one of Tam's patreon supporters with a knife story for you. I worked in a hardware/sporting goods store years ago. We sold Case and Buck knives, and I sharpened any that customers bought in (also ice skates, axes, scythes and block plane knives). During hunting season we sold guns, ammo, out-of-state hunting licenses, and we also tagged deer and bear. During tagging time I carried a Camp King pocket knife, the one that came ten to a cardboard pegboard display sheet. They were probably made out of recycled vegetable cans, but in 30 seconds with a gunsmith file, belgian clay wetstone, and a piece of soft pine for stropping the wire off, I could make an edge that would dry-shave. And if I lost it I was out $1.55. One time my co-worker could not find his knife and borrowed mine to tag a deer, slitting the hide and flesh between the hind leg bone and tendon to set the steel tag; he wiped the blade on his brown corduroy pants on the way back into the store. When he handed that Camp King to me I noticed a one-inch cut on his pants-leg with blood stains on the lower edge. He had cut his pants and his leg, and never knew it until I showed him. I have good knives, arkansas and clay stones, and diamond hones to sharpen them, but that Camp King served the purpose... knuckledraggertechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582595548812121733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976334216965295921.post-42329871066079053292020-02-20T22:34:46.897-05:002020-02-20T22:34:46.897-05:00As Tam (https://booksbikesboomsticks.blogspot.com/...As Tam (https://booksbikesboomsticks.blogspot.com/2020/02/i-just-dont-get-it.html) understandably has comments blocked, two things to say:<br /><br />#1 - Yes, it actually was a CRKT I passed on to a new home. Given I have a handful I was issued, and don't generally use except when traveling and I don't want to lose an Emerson.<br /><br />#2 - There might have been a manly squeal when I got a link from a famous blogger.
