NYTimes knife article.
NYTimes knife article.
The article is about the pocket knife making a comeback among today's men especially with hipsters. The Spyderco Chaparral is mentioned (With some terminology that makes me cringe) the Sebenza 21 is also mentioned. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/11/fashi ... shion&_r=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: NYTimes knife article.
Not sure what "stealth titanium look" is supposed to mean, but I'm assuming it isn't anything "tactical". Maybe more like "subdued". Obviously not the new stepped blue Chap.
Nice article though! Hopefully the more that pocket knives become accepted, the less obnoxious laws we'll have to fear, and I think articles like this are steps in the right direction. I long for the day I can carry an auto (or even a bali) outside the house.

as you can see here it is referred to as "stealth" and I am pretty sure I have seen it elsewhere listed the same way.

They're likely referring to the Chap 2, which is nicknamed the "stealth Chaparral" due to the pattern geometry resembling a F117 stealth fighter.PayneTrain wrote:Not sure what "stealth titanium look" is supposed to mean, but I'm assuming it isn't anything "tactical".

We need more of that in the world. Nice read. Hopefully, a lot of people read it and it does some good.

Re: NYTimes knife article.
Ah, thank you gentlemen. I did not know it carried that nickname, but I have seen that comparison before. Actually it was only last week in gbelleh's thread. I guess I'm late to the party. Again. :o

Re: NYTimes knife article.
Great article. Thanks for posting. I feel completely undressed and like I am missing something important if I do not have a knife in my pocket.

Re: NYTimes knife article.
Well, this is an article in the Men's Style section. It probably wouldn't have been included in the NY Times if they hadn't compared it to fashion.
I'm pretty sure that it hasn't gone anywhere, but people are starting to pay attention to it.
Payne, I'm pretty sure the co-founder of everydaycarry dot com said it correctly and the person writing the article heard it wrong.
I love the picture at the top, a guy... at home... batoning wood on his front porch.

Re: NYTimes knife article.
Awesome that the NY Times is saying good things about EDCing pocket knives. Now we need a hundred more articles like that one because the five boroughs of NYC has WAY TOO MUCH knife negativity.

Re: NYTimes knife article.
Haha right? Hey, whatever gets more people involved. I'm sure at least a couple people out there will think "hey yeah, I should carry a knife so I can chop wood!" If only they showed a CEO stabbing a Mercedes door, an executive chef hacking lamb chops with a K2, and various other unlikely people doing unlikely things with pocket knives. Maybe some retirees building a crude shelter just outside their huge RV with a Rubicon, smiling ever so cheesily at each other. Maybe more people would stop and say "hey, look at all the fun knife people have!"Donut wrote: I love the picture at the top, a guy... at home... batoning wood on his front porch.
Then we lure them here...

Ironic that the NY TIMES would write about stuff you can't carry in NYC

Re: NYTimes knife article.
New York city is probably the most knife hostile place on the planet. I mean even Denmark and the UK will let you carry knives that NYC will throw you in jail for. Guys - why read the NY Times? I recommend no patronage what so ever. Knife hostile city. Knife hostile newspaper. My opinion at least. Sorry if I am coming across harshly.clevelanddean wrote:Ironic that the NY TIMES would write about stuff you can't carry in NYC
That being said - I think it is true that folding knives are making a come back. Great to see any good news these days.
Re: NYTimes knife article.
In time it will turn around. When the dimmest of the dimmest bulbs realize that they use a knife everyday.
As well as everyone else in the world. Funny when you think about it really.
