I planned on leaping over a row of shopping carts, dodging a car going one way, sliding over the next cars hood, stealthing under a couple pickup trucks, and finishing with a backward flip ending in the crouching tiger position (maybe rescuing a child in the process somehow) and cutting the offending rope knot off for him....
Alas I could not. My knife was not Tactical. It was not a tanto or serrated, had no saw on the back, no finger grooves or knuckles built in, no glass breaker or seat belt cutter, and a distinct lack of black plastic.
I was forced to walk over calmly and offer him my pocket knife which he thanked me for and cut the knot out. Then I put my bag in the seat of my truck and went home.
The fact I had a normal knife which is “too heavy” for its size and not a lightweight limited me to what I could do as did the fact that it was not a “tactical” knife and means it will not allow me to do “tactical” things when I grocery shop.
**** Spyderco! Where does a guy buy Cold Steel knives? Maybe then I could out perform Bruce Willis when I go for an oil change.
