Re: Totally Spyderco related
I'm getting more and more like you all the time. I'm to the point now to where I'm extremely picky about who I will let use one of my EDC knives. And I'm not a selfish person by nature at all but I see exactly where David is coming from>> because there probably isn't but maybe 2 out of ten people that are responsible enough to safely use a knife with common sense applied.
And if you loan your blade to a "friend" :rolleyes: and they were to damage the blade or even worse yet actually cut themselves really bad like I had happen to me all the way back to 2013 :rolleyes: Then of course everyone around you is going to ultimately blame you and not the idiot who was being a real idiot :mad:
At this time there are two tools I just won't loan to anyone except a very trusted lifetime friend or family member>> and those are any of my EDC knives or any of my chainsaws. Because the general public by and large doesn't know squat about safely using either one of those 2 tools
Re: Totally Spyderco related
i almost died at the end. hilarious.
i almost handed a guy at work my df2 salt when he asked to borrow a knife. something inside of me made me pause and ask why. he was going to use it to pry staples out of papers. i told him tactfully that you don’t use a knife for that and handed him my leatherman wave instead.

Re: Totally Spyderco related
Video tells us it's better to keep our EDC knives to ourselves.
Re: Totally Spyderco related
Hahaha, good stuff! I have a friend here at work that's a Benchmade guy. Sometimes we'll trade for a day at work, with promise not to be cutting anything crazy that would damage our edges. I prefer my Spyderco's to his 9 times out of 10. But I do really enjoy his 940-1. Such a slim knife with a good size blade and just disappears in your pocket. He likes my Para 3's and Chaparral LW most. Can't stand my Manix 2 though. Says it feels like he has another phone in his pocket. This is the only person I'll allow use my knives when out of my sight.
Re: Totally Spyderco related
I'm very much the guy in the video....sadly. It soo weird to me that people don't even have a little Swiss army knife so they have something to cut with. I cringe when I see someone trying to use a key to open a box...or worse, their fingernail?!?! massive paper cut just waiting to happen. Camping without a knife? that's another bad one. I always take a few beater knives camping, because someone always needs a knife and they didn't bring one. I also have my main knife and a little loaner in my pocket at all times. If you can't figure out how not to cut yourself with a 2 two inch Swiss army knife, that's 100% on you:)
The end was the best...watched it two times.

Re: Totally Spyderco related
That was great. Thank you for the good laugh to start my day. I watched twice and made my wife watch it too.
Re: Totally Spyderco related
It isn't that I'm selfish, I've just had too many edges beat up by people who think a pocket knife is a scraper or screwdriver. There's hard use and then there's outright abuse. If someone really needs to borrow a knife I let them use my multi blade.

Hahahaha! That was great! Sometimes it seems many of us are a little of that guy. I did not mean ME! Of course not. But I have a knife. :D

Re: Totally Spyderco related
I do not loan my Spyderco knives to people who don’t know knives and appreciate them. When I did, I would always say, “be careful, it’s really sharp.” That didn’t always register.

Re: Totally Spyderco related
Pretty great video.... no lie it can be hard to keep the knife in the pocket (I really admire good engineering), but lately I've been finding less reasons to pop out ye old blade. But when all else fails, the knife is the go to.
Re: Totally Spyderco related
I learned not to loan knives when a yahoo borrowed my knife to open a kids birthday present. It was a Benchmade mini Stryker auto, and he was trying to cut black vinyl-coated WIRE TIES. It took some time on the sharpmaker to fix the edge.
In general I don’t loan anything. I don’t expect people to treat it like it’s their own, I expect them to treat it like it’s MINE and they’ll have to replace it if they foul it up. I also don’t borrow, because I do feel it’s my responsibility to replace or repair something that fails in my care.
There are about 3 guys I’ll loan a knife to; these are men I trust with my bows, rifles, wife, and children. However, these are also people I don’t need to loan a knife to, as they are self-reliant and responsible types who already have their own quality knives. I’m the “nut”, I guess.

Re: Totally Spyderco related
I've noticed a split in the people I know who carry knives. Some carry knives as a cutting tool and maintain a sharp edge on it. Others carry them as "Knife Shaped Objects", they use them as screwdrivers, scrapers, to pry staples loose, and to poke and tear holes in packaging (as opposed to actually cutting). I find the K.S.O. crowd has not only never sharpened their knives, they do not know how to.
I don't let people use my knives any more, with rare exception for those deemed competent (although those people tend to have knives already, it's usually not them needing one, it's me saying "here try mine and tell me what you think".)

"Knife Shaped Objects". I like that. I'm using that term from now on.
