Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[RocknRoll]

Hey guys, you're right that I was viewing knives in the context of a weapon, perhaps because the news is full of "knife attack" stories.

The 'knife as a tool' argument is totally valid and I can see where you're all coming from.

As a matter of interest (perhaps?), they tight tightened knife laws here a while back. I checked my state's rules, which are as follows:

"The Summary Offences Act 1998 makes it an offence for a person to have custody of a knife in a public place without reasonable excuse. The Act specifies a number of reasonable excuses for having custody of a knife. Under the Act it is a reasonable excuse for a person to have custody of a knife, if the custody is reasonably necessary in all circumstances including:

• lawful pursuit of the person's occupation
• preparation or consumption of food or drink
• participation in a lawful entertainment, recreation or sport
  or during travel to or from or incidental to these activities."

No mention of stabbing people in the neck, so I guess that would not be considered "reasonable". No wonder I don't see many Belgian tourists being let into the country….

Cheers,

However, Seul is always in a state of "preparation or consumption of … drink", so there's no problem, right?

There's always a loophole!

So, I just realized that the amazing "wall of whites" and room full of Filson shop also carries Chris Reeve knifes…Holy Shit! I have to go back tomorrow. Their knife room was overwhelming. Ken Onion, Kershaw, SOG, case...even Gransfors Bruks axes.

I finally picked up a pocketknife this year, an Extrema Ratio BF1 CD. I've been using it as my EDC since it arrived. Great knife.

[joesaintjohn]

And my two carries.

[joesaintjohn]

Never bring a knife to a hatchet fight!

[urbanwoodsman]

Imagine seeing Jeff walking towards you with that on his belt. I'd cross the street for sure.
