Always stay safe.

I agree with you Wolf, "better to be judged by twelve. . ." but thouse knives do make me a little nervous. It might look like you wanted him to attack you knowing you could easily do quite alot of damage.

Hannibal's comment might make to light of the situation. More than your knife could get taken ...

I was cutting open a stack of mail with my Delica before History Class and two students gave me funny looks and then one of them said: "Are you allowed to have that here?" and I replied: "As far as know my mail has to get opened." And gave a little shrug.

My friend bought a Victorinox Tinker and, after saying I wouldn't buy another knife before the Christmas Break, I got a Handyman, he also broke down and bought a Spyderco Steel Handled Endura, after playing with it it in the store. Now I'm a little jelous: he has a bigger knife than me and he didn't ...

My roomate wanted to get a Swiss Army Knife, although I tried to get him to buy a Spyderco. He says that he likes the other little tools. On the internet we found two brands: Victorinox and Wegner, is there one you might recomend?

By the way, with that many knives, how do you pick the one to carry?

Thats a lot of knives I guess buying one more wouldn't seem like a lot.

I was thinking about getting a second knife for possible on campus carry. When I send my Delica to Spyderco for sharping but when I have both what would you recommend I do with the other one? It seems hard to justify two knifes if I only carry one.

Do you think that the Delica is the optium campus knife? Or would you suggest somthing else.

What is a good test to tell if a blade should be sharpened? Cutting hair, paper, I don't what to over or under sharpen.

Thanks for all the quick responces. I found a Mini-Dyad for about $45.00 on line does that seem right? Here they're quite a bit more is it the same knife? I don't mind paying a little more if the knifes aren't the same.

Do any of you have a problem the campus police with carring a knife on college grounds? More so than in the surrounding city? I'm a little nervous after the WTC and all.

I would like a stainless steel handled Delica with a 50/50 blade. I have a plastic Delica and like it a steel one would be nice.

Thanks RYAN, I did not know there was a Dyad jr. until you told me and i found it on the product section (but not directly below the Dyad) that would certanly be within my price range.

I did not realize that knives could ever be brought on to a plane? I guess you learn something new every day.

Hi, I just started college, SUNY Purchase, and read a few posts that seemed like they might have been some college students on the forum. I was wondering how many and what university? Over the summer I got a Delica and have fell in love with the Clip-it. I'm thinking about a Dyad so I'll have both ...
