GA-LGV3-GB - GOOD ART HLYWD Goosebump Little Gents Pocket Knife v3 - Sterling Silver
Handmade at the foundry in Los Angeles, the team at GOOD ART HLYWD have cannibalised a Swiss-made Victorinox army knife and added their signature style. Housing a stainless steel knife blade, file and scissors, the outer casing is crafted from solid sterling silver, displaying the brand’s Goosebumps motif and distinctive rosette artwork. As with all GAH jewellery, the silver pieces are dipped in sulfuric acid and hand-burnished to create a subtle blackened contrast against the impeccably polished highlights.

@XPender you cant even carry a Victorinox classic?
-
@goosehd it seems all knives are illegal in public unless you have a reason to carry it
-
@Anesthetist I can walk around in a chef coat with a roll full of giant knives and nobody would bat an eye. Imagine carrying an 8" chefs knife in plain clothes.
-
@Anesthetist You can't carry any kind of knive no matter size in public. The only time you may carry a knife (has to be under 12 cm) is if you use it for hunting/fishing, that kind of thing. So no pocket knife of any kind as an EDC
Even if I wanted to buy this knife and just have it at home, I would need to contact the police to get a permit for buying it. A friend of mine got a necklace with a small rather dull knife on it. Cost him 530 euro in fine, and they confiscated the necklace and pendant

@XPender that’s insane! I wonder if Josh can do silver scales for a Victorinox traveler? Same size as a compact but scissors and nail file instead of a blade. I carry one when I travel domestically. Then again it might not be worth the trouble

TSA once confiscated one of those Victorinox knives from me at the airport. I had carried that knife with me everywhere and had forgotten it was in my bag. When I got onto the plane, the woman beside me was knitting with her metal knitting needles, which in my opinion could have done way more damage than me with my little pen knife.

@goosehd I can’t even count the number of those knivesTSA has confiscated from me. I’ve carried one on my keychain for about 30 years. Now I keep one in my Dopp kit in my checked luggage so that when I travel, I always have one available for my keychain on the ground. I once had a drum key confiscated by TSA because it was technically a “tool” and tools weren’t allowed on the plane. This was in 2003 when TSA was brand new and being overly cautious, but it still pisses me off. As you said, knitting needles are way more lethal.

@seawolf a BIC stick pen is more lethal
-
@Mizmazzle Oh nice! I retired in 2021
-
@Anesthetist Security theater in action!
-
@Mizmazzle Yes and no. I started working in kitchens when I was 15, went to culinary school after high school, joined the Navy at 23, and spent the majority of my career working as a private chef for admirals. I did some other things in the beginning and at the end of my career, but that's the meat and potatoes of it, if you'll forgive the pun.
