I've slept with a etched cricket clipped to my shorts a few times. My main bedside knife is my DODO, which mainly sits on the nightstand. As others have mentioned, I rather grab my XD .45 ACP instead of my knife if anything goes bump if I can't stop the threat with 14 rounds of 230 gr speer GD, then thats why there is a second mag. If that doesn't work, I highly dout a knife would save me. :mad:

a-HA! He confesses! :p I love it when they confess...David Lowry wrote:Seriously though, I keep a Spydie or two either in the top drawer of my nightstand or under the pillow.
That thought ran through my mind as well...David Lowry wrote:I don't like to keep a knife of any kind in the open on the nightstand. The last thing I need is someone breaking in, and making it all the way up to my room and finding a nice knife right there so they can stab me with it. No thanks.![]()
Good thing you survived...my common sense tells me not to sleep with a knife...but I so very much like the *idea* of having a Spydie on my person whilst in a slumbering state that I hoped the responses in this thread could convince me otherwise. :eek: :rolleyes: :DDavid Lowry wrote:I have accidentally fallen asleep on my couch with a Paramilitary (open and locked) and thankfully I didn't cut myself but I did poke a hole in the couch. My wife was pissed. :D
I have also woken up and found myself sleeping on a closed Delica or a Spyderco Salt. :D
Crazy, I know! :D

Once I fell asleep in the afternoon with a Spydie clipped IWB that I totally forgot was there...it was still closed when I awoke, though...krazichinaman wrote:I've slept with a etched cricket clipped to my shorts a few times.

Thanks for your input, Mike. I'll have to try this!Mike Sastre wrote:I travel quite a bit, camp out on kayak trips, and have been sleeping with a Spydie in a neck sheath for nearly 20 years when away from home - gray Matriarch since its introduction. Neck sheath allows deployment of the blade on the draw, by incorporating an inertia opening ("Spydie Drop") to the stroke. Super Quick!!!

I don't sleep with a :spyder: on me, but there's usually a wide assortment on the stand next to me. Sometimes whatever one I happen to be playing with last goes under my pillow.

I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.
I wear boxers to bed, and I clip either a Lava or Cricket to the waistband. I have zero concerns about a knife opening while I'm sleeping since the knife is snug against my skin and I don't move much while I sleep. And I wear a knife in bed due to my love of always wearing one, not for protection.
A neck knife is a good idea, but I always wear a Fenix E01 flashlight around my neck and sometimes a Fenix L0D Q4 also clipped to my waistband.

I'm glad to live in an area where I don't need deadly weapons ,on, or near me when I sleep.I like guns and knives, but don't need them, around, when I sleep.An alert dog ,in the house ,is all I require.I sympasize ,with all you folks, that need heat, when you sleep.It's real hard to sleep if you don't feel safe.

I leave my jeans besides my bed, and there's always one of my :spyder: in the pockets.
I have a 4D maglite besides my bed, and a Civil War cavalry saber on the wall, for "decorative purposes only" Lol... And my GF only realizes the 4D.. and it's there "only" for power-cutouts etc. :cool:
And if we're going to get a dog again, (a German Shepherd, my previous buddy, GS too, died 4yrs. ago) I bet we're pretty much covered.
Almost all of this is due to my job, I have to be prepared for unwanted visitors.. some of them might find out where I live.

Yes, I had to do a 'reality check' as I read the posts. Many here never bother to lock their doors or their cars for that matter. I too sympathize with all those who must carry weapons to feel safe.gandalfe wrote:I'm glad to live in an area where I don't need deadly weapons ,on, or near me when I sleep.I like guns and knives, but don't need them, around, when I sleep.An alert dog ,in the house ,is all I require.I sympasize ,with all you folks, that need heat, when you sleep.It's real hard to sleep if you don't feel safe.

After experiencing a break-in while I was sleeping I decided to keep a weapon close by at night. For years it was a .357 Magnum or a machete but with kids now that is a bit dangerous. For the last few years I've slept with a Native in the pocket of my shorts. It's never accidentally opened...I'm not sure how it could. Now I can tell my wife that I am not the only nut who sleeps with a knife!

You people are nuts.
It would be way safer to burgler-proof your dwelling than depend on a knife in your pj's or a shotgun in your bedroom suite's headboard. Steel entrance doors and double rigged alarm systems on the windows would work better.
If I lived in Baltimore I'd probably do both but I do not live in Baltimore.
Sleep with a knife? Only by accident.
LOL
An automated machine gun or multiple shotguns controlled by a custom written PLC program are on my short list of paranoid personal safety measures for my slumber time. PLC's are very versital and cool.
PLC = Programable Logic Controller. Infinatlely versitable and easy to program. Output control would be a bear trying to control lethal force. Load 1...and 2...and not 3 and...etc...out 001. If output 001 was a shotgun this would not be a trivial exercise. I am years out of date but it is the thought that counts.
Thank god I live in a reletively safe area so I can make these comments with a wink.
