Yeh, so maybe LEO's can't imagine what they'd use a knife for too, but it just might come in handy some time. I'm not thinking about a knife fight too. :)

Don't get me wrong! I'm not saying cops don't need a knife, I'm just saying their requirements don't seem to be so very different than those ...

Torch, did you anticipate using your knife as a handhold on that tin roof?

Anticipate it? **** no! :lol: I'm not even sure why the idea occurred at the moment it happened. It was one of those time-slowed-down moments, for sure.
