I see these almost every time I'm at the train station carried by french soldiers who patrol to prevent terrorist attacks.
Too bad I'll never be able to shoot one.

I ordered two of these STR Titanium Lowrider Clips for my JYDII yesterday. Steve replied to my Emails immediately and was very nice. Had one in stock and said he would finish a second before morning. Should have them on Monday.

He makes them for pretty much any folder.

so you're full of shit AND disgusting?

not that i'm surprised what with you being a yank and all.

Never said I didn't clean it before/after use.

Your being pedantic. I asked a genuine question, because as I don't have any use for a knife I thought someone could tell me what they use theirs for. Wheelr gave a decent response which answered my question, and, as you would see in the knife debate thread, I took that in. You, however, couldn't manage that.

I posted in here before there. If you are that interested, honestly, I will answer your question.

I have so far today used mine to open a bag of dog food, cut a bagel in half, cut up some boxes here at work, sectioned a plastic cushion here at work for inspection, cut the wire tie off of a product I am working on, cut another bagel in half, stirred my coffee and cut open another package.

I think it is a reasonable question actually. What do you do with them? For instance, I carry a phone so I can call people/people can call me, a wallet for money, baccy and a lighter so I can smoke, and keys so I can open doors. At no point do I need to cut stuff outside of the kitchen.

I am actually genuinely interested as to what you cut.

Surely you could rub two sticks together to light something on fire, no? A lighter is convenient though, I understand.

I use my knife for various cutting throughout my day. I don't need to give you specifics.

Comparing shoes to knives? Really?

They serve an essential purpose, knives do too but only in certain situations.

Its hardly a silly question, what exactly are you doing day to day that requires a knife? I can't think of a single situation where using something else wouldn't work better. The only time I'd use a knife daily would be to cook...

I can just picture you walking around going about your day to day business with a belt with torches knives and guns, so jokes you think thats normal.

Shoes are not necessary in day to day lives. You can walk without them, can you not?

I don't actually keep anything on my belt aside from when I carry my BK11, which is rare. I never said what I carry is normal and everyone should carry the same. I keep on me what I find myself needing often, and nothing I don't.

You don't need to though do you?

I own knifes, I'm not inherently against them. I don't need to carry one on my person, you don't either. What do you do open letters with a bowie? Do your cooking with a flick knife?

Im just struggling to see how a knife fits into peoples day to day lives...

Same could be said by those that don't use/have shoes, a car, a hat, a cell phone, a computer... makes just as much sense as your question. No, it is not absolutely necessary, yes it is a useful tool that I use often enough to keep it on my person.

Asking silly questions like if I open letters with a bowie doesn't help your arguement. I posted my knives and clearly showed what I carry.

he asked a legitimate question, don't get mad because of it.

And you won't get a response because he can't justify it. Guaranteed every time he uses his knife a pair of scissors or a bottle opener would do the job better. Its not like he lives in the country either...

Nowhere have I gotten mad in this thread. You two have been on here long enough to know how threads like this go. We post our knives, you cry like bitches and say we're dumb rednecks, we stand our ground, you shit your diapers and ask us "but why?", we give you the reasons AGAIN, B complains about the repetition, you ask "but why?" again and the thread is ruined/locked.

See how that works? Never fails so I won't play into it. I carry a knife because I use a knife daily. You don't need anymore reason than that. End of.

I've wanted a Kershaw JYDII since they came out, but the pocket clip is so damn huge and ugly I can't do it. All companies need to offer a slim low ride clip.

This is my only dislike about it. I've been meaning to change the clip out, just haven't bothered yet.

Have you ever had to threaten anyone with one? Ever killed an animal with them? What do you cut with them? I barely cut anything day to day and if I need to I just get some scissors out of the draw!

Don't ruin this thread Danno.

You lot are mad. Ever stabbed someone?

I haven't and hope I never have to. Doesn't mean I never use them for cutting things. I use my JYDII every day.

accidentally a couple of times, not in the way you'd think though,
weird feeling, that initial resistance and sudden "giving"

I hear it often makes a bit of a "pop" sound. (page 2 beat me to it)

Is that neck knife easy to carry? I never tried one but it seems cumbersome and having to mess around under your shirt to take it out sounds dangerous.
I'll post my (large) collection when I'm back home if the thread still exists.

I can't legally carry it under my shirt, or concealed anywhere for that matter in California. I've carried it as a neck knife outside of CA and it is a bit heavy for that. Wouldn't be bad if I was dressed in warm clothes but it is easily spotted when only wearing a tshirt. Not ideal by any means. Max concealed blade length is under 2" so I carry it on my belt, in the open. Ideally it would be around the ankle if I could conceal it.

brian, you should start a post your edged weapon thread

Every one of them has been shut down within a few pages. Too many poopy diapers get involved.

Badass man.  I want to do a 64 Continental sometime soon - once I finish the damn Vette!

I miss my 67 Continental. Bummed some dude smashed into me.
