I see no problem with it, honestly. I am Greek Orthodox and do not feel like I am violating any sacrament or other law of the church when I carry a knife in my slacks. I usually just carry a Vic Cadet (due to its slim size) but I have also carried a Sage on Sundays, too. I feel it comes down to how you view and use your knife. For me, my knives are a tool first and weapon only as a last resort.kbrouwer wrote:I'm Catholic and go to church on Sundays. I'm actually an alter server.

This. What do you use your knife for? I carry mine in church, just as I carry a pen in church; they are both tools that I use frequently. I wouldn't carry a weapon in church, although I have more than a few friends who do (and they even have special, usually beautifully designed, guns that they only take to church or weddings!!).D1omedes wrote:I feel it comes down to how you view and use your knife.

Some would say Luke 22:36 supports it.Blerv wrote:It depends on your church and who becomes offended. There isn't any scripture to support or refute it but that won't stop a zealot on a mission to make someone's life difficult.
I wouldn't bring it up much. The potential downfall FAR outweighs the chance of cutlery camaraderie.
