Ha,ha, I'm sick of politics after the l o n g campaign but it looks like some are still spoiling for a fight. Take it outside. If you keep tiptoeing up to the edge you're sure to step over.

I meant no disrespect with the money clip suggestion, it seemed appropriate for a businessman.
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

Today I received a CRK Mnandi to celebrate our new (same) president, small but still not legal in DC which is 50 miles away from my place. I carry a Chicago or ZDP Dragonfly when I go.
The blade limit in DC is 3". You can legally carry a longer one as long as you don't intend to commit a crime. Good luck in corrupt DC with the latter.

For the people that don't have facebook, it basically says

"Following President Obama’s speech in Golden, CO on Thursday, a number of members of his Secret Service detail took the time to visit Spyderco. Here our engineer Doug Snyder gives the detail a VIP tour of the Spyderco factory. Spyderco is very honored that the men and women of the President’s security detail visited us and we thank them for their interest in our products and their service to our country."

I think he should carry one of the knives made with steel from 9-11. A president could use the reminder.

I seem to recall reading or hearing somewhere that the POTUS as having a pet name which is given to him by the Secret Service. How cool would it be if that nickname for the current President is inspired by Spyderco :)

Native is on the move.

Although President Obama posseses considerable heft in intellect and thoughtfulness, I believe a well sharpened Bradley Air would serve him well as an EDC for the next 4 years :)

No, no. If I was spoiling for a fight, I'd have said it should be spineless and comfortable in the hip pocket of an Arab. LOL

Hopefully we'll still be allowed to carry knives when the next election comes around.

Yeah, that's why I didn't say it. ;)

The whole thread is in pretty poor taste, IMO. Asking(hoping?) for trouble.
