Most sheeple friendly knife?

Jeff/1911 · #21

Fellows,

So far, I have had the best reactions with my serrated, G-10 Rookie - believe it or not. Less reaction from the public use of this knife than with my Calypso Jr. for example.

I maintain that the way a knife is presented is far more significant to it "acceptability" than is the knife itself. I have resorted at times to opening a Spyderco with two hands; like a conventional pocketknife so as to lessen the freak-effect.

I try these days to carry a little one and a big one...then I can draw the little one if I sense a strong presence of "fraidy-cats".

Camillus makes a series of Boy Scout knives. I keep thinking about getting the one with both a clip point blade and a saw. I think the saw is longer than the ones on the 4 3/8" SAKs. Here's a link to 1SKS Camillus Boy Scout knives:

I will still say the Pegasus(plain edge) was the nicest "little" knife. But its been cut from the ranks. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> The Dragonfly(stainless handle, plain edge) is a close second.

There is no sheeple-friendly knife anymore. Someone on another forum posted a message about using his SAK Classic for a small chore in an airport lounge and being accused by an onlooker of "brandishing" a lethal weapon.

The question should be, when an onlooker calls the police on me, which knife is most likely to be "laughed off" by the responding officer.

Sad, isn't it?

after reading the last post i have a new theory: use the biggest baddest blade carriable and give out as gifts as many to your friends, famly members and co-workers as posable. goal no more "sheeple'' left and production goes up costs go down cheaper knives for all.

My Boy Scout Knife is a:

Five-blade Deluxe Camp Knife…#BSA046
• 3-5/8" length closed (8" open)
• 2-1/2" high carbon stainless steel spear blade with BSA etch, screwdriver/bottle opener, can opener, leather punch, Phillips head screwdriver
• Black jigged Delrin® handle
• Round coined nickel-silver fleur-de-lis shield
• Nickel-silver bolsters

Nice knife but not really a tactical blade...

But now I had this thought: I wonder if you could glue a BSA emblem on a Civie? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> But Officer, this is just my Scout knife, hehe. At the same time, you just pull out your BSA card, $8 a year, and the situation (at the airport) evaporates like ice on a hot summer blacktop! Hope this works for you, LOL.

i like your thinking claypsokid --- put the BSA logo on a chinook and you got a customer.
