Which knife do you carry around anti-knife people

[Rookie]

Which knife do you carry around anti-knife people. I like it to be a folder under 2.5 inches and have it concealed. Does spyderco have any 2 inch folders in vg-10 flat grind?



In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.

The nearest I can think of would be the SS Dragonfly.
2.25", flat ground and ATS-55, which is almost as good as VG-10.

Next choice woild be the Navigator. It's a shade over 2", the new model is VG-10, but it is hollow ground.

It's got so bad where I work my next purchase is a Cricket. Surely not even the most belligerent can think that the Cricket looks dangerous. But I most definately will NOT be getting a pink one <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I sympathize with your question. I'm in a college environment and don't dare carry anything with a tactical look to it. I like the cricket but am concerned about carrying it due to its reverse-S curve. I wonder whether SpyderCo would consider a variation of it with a different blade style. I'd buy it in a second, Sal...

Rookie,

The Mouse has a blade of about 2" and it's VG-10, but hollow grind.

I do not let politically correct views affect the knives I carry. It also keeps the fruits,nuts and vegans away. rico

First I try to not be around anti-knife people. But, when all else fails, I carry my Native with Blue Inlays or my Meerkat. The Native is so good looking people don't mind and the Meerkat is just so unasuming.

keen, what about getting a Meerkat. It is just like the cricket but with a normal(non reverse s blade). The phantom lock is cool.

I typically carry my Meerkat and something larger on me, usually my green Lum Chinese Folder. If I'm with other knife people and need to use a knife, I'll use my Lum Chinese, otherwise, I'll use the Meerkat. It's usually small enough not to set off any "Spydie-sense".

all of them. sheeple can suck a nut.

I wanted to think of something really clever and indignant, but Wiley beat me to it. As such, what he said.

Way to go, Wiley!

I carry the BIGGEST freakin' knife I have!

Just kidding. I really don't. Being a 'college kid', I normally carry something that is conservative enough so that I'm not 'turning heads' when I walk by someone. My normal carrying knives in such a situation would be a Spydercard and a Ladybug. [Sometimes I do compromise and carry my Calypso, but not normally. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>] I would like to get a CF Dragonfly, **Looking in Kahz's direction** [hehe] for when I would have to carry something small enough so that I don't create a ruckus.
I like mid-sized knives anyway. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Spydernut,

Heard ya, I did... *evil look* <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

So, what's your major anyway?

[SpyderNut]

**Dancing gleefully**

Ah ha! It worked! I knew the 'CF' topic would bring Kahz out of hiding!

**Noticing the 'Evil Look'of Kahz**

Uh oh. I'd better stop, before I get maimed!<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

On a slightly more serious note:

Kahz, I am majoring in Business, as of the present. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> I am thinking of changing my major to Mechanical Engineering, as I have a real desire to work as an engineer for a company that my dad used to work for. I don't know yet as to when I'll make "The Change", but I am thinking about maybe next semester. This is my freshman year, so it has been a real eye-opener since high school.
I really enjoy college life. I even count it kind of fun! [At times.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>] Which reminds me, I have a test next Thursday...<img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
[ Its on Marketing and Products, etc. so it souldn't be too bad. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>]

Wow! Look at that run on! Sorry if I 'wrote' your eyes out. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Ever in search of the elusive CF 'fly,

~Spydernut

[Kahz]

SpyderNut,

You just know how to make me come out of my SpyderLurking, don't you??? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Well, I could drive south to Indiana just to show off my CF Dragonfly to some Hoosier I happen to SpyderKnow. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Oh, forget it, I am blind and I don't do highways at night. Dream on... <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Good luck in your test! Marketing is a piece of cake, take this from a marketing major... I am changing careers, btw. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Sorry, Rookie, this tends to happen in this forum, back to your question. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

anti knife people dont concern me. i carry just about any knife i please outside of my cold steel oss. that 8 inch blade is a little much. most of the time i stick to a 4 inch voyager tanto...every once in awhile i carry a safekeeper 2 which is as much a no no in oklahoma as a bowie....depends on where im going if i carry that one. and of course my merlin rides shotgun with whichever knife i feel like carrying that day! oddly enough iv gotten stranger looks from the merlin then the push dagger...go figure.

With my carry, it depends on if I'm working at the time. If I'm working, anything goes! Typically, (read Right Now) I wear a sheathed Buck 450 and an Endura next to each other. One great work knife and one which I just enjoy to carry, in one place! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

As for college, I go small and preferably natural grips. Case Russlock, my old Scout knife, Old Timer stockman, and knives in that vein work well. My Ladybug also finds its way in my pocket quite often, like an old dog searching for a blanket. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

The Spyderco model I carry, which creates the least adverse reaction in the uninitiated, is my Jess Horn Lightweight.
