baladeo, the model is called the 22 gram even though it really weighs 24.as you can see n this pic the skeleton handle is also the liner lock for the blade. I get an odd amount of compliments on this knife. It's got a chisel edge though which is a bit of a pain but it's so the knife doesn't cut you when folded.

>>9680491

please tell me what about your life or job requires the daily carry of a knife.

are you a sailor in 1870? do you whittle for a living? are you part of a law enforcement agency? are you part of a gang in west side story?

the only reason to carry a laptop to and from work is if you're working on sensitive material that can't be remotely transferred or held in a cloud. are you an intelligence analyst? are you fucking working for boeing? does your work involve keeping local plaintext files of people's social security numbers?

this type of shit is excessive and affected 95% of the time. again, if you're not a mountain climber for your everyday job, you don't need to carry around 18 tungsten-carbide steel carabiners and four days' provisions

If you can't understand the purpose of a utility knife there is no point in explaning it to you. Students carry laptops with them to and from school all the time, I see plenty of kids on a bus or train sitting on their laptop doing work. There are plenty of jobs where you are constantly on the move and need a laptop with you because you work in the field. Carabiner because I bike and I hate having keys sitting in the bottom of my pocket and I drink plenty of coke in glass bottles so the carabiners doubles as a bottle opener. You also apply way too much of your personal taste to other people. And yes I am going to be working for boeing after I'm done with school.

I understand its purpose if you're like a construction worker or sailor or mountaineer. Of which you are none.

>students carry laptops to an from school all the time

affectation most of the time.

>There are plenty of jobs where you are constantly on the move and need a laptop with you because you work in the field

there are *some* jobs like this. there are not countless 4chan threads and buses and trains full of these jobs. again, affectation most of the time.

>Carabiner because I bike and I hate having keys sitting in the bottom of my pocket and I drink plenty of coke in glass bottles so the carabiners doubles as a bottle opener

a single carabiner suffices these purposes

>You also apply way too much of your personal taste to other people

comparing personal taste is literally *the point* of something like a fashion board.

>And yes I am going to be working for boeing after I'm done with school.

Not the same guy, but I work in a small warehouse putting furniture together. Half of my job is drilling things together, and the other is opening/breaking down massive cardboard boxes, cutting tags and straps off of stuff... things where having a knife on your belt is a necessity.

you happening to be a construction worker doesn't invalidate my point that for most folks it's an affectation. in fact, even for you it still is. see: >>9680642

It's ok to have such an irrational problem with people carrying knives, I guess, but it does make you look foolish.
>>
>>9679659
I carry one when I have to give a presentation or if I have to print something out at Fedex Office (like once a week, sometimes more often). It's more expensive to print at Fedex Office than it is at my university but I just like the atmosphere better.
>>
>>9680724
carry whatever you want. but your desire to carry it doesn't make itself rational by existing, nor does it become rational through your fulfillment of that desire.

you carry a bunch of shit that you don't need to carry. that's irrational. and unfashionable. go back to /k/
>>
>>9680698
you throw around the word affectation like anons throw around the words memeclothes or memeshoes. Using your own tools because you're more comfortable with them and rely on them is not a dislay of affectation. Using your laptop on the train or bus to write last minute homework is not affectation. You made me sad, have to go beat my roomates cat now.
>>
My edc:

Wallet
Phone
Headphones
Black marker
Lighter
Chapstick
Mints
Small thing of cologne
Multitool

I do use the knife in the multitool occasionally so I definitely see the use of having a dedicated one for frequent use in other jobs. It's common sense I don't know why people get so upset and just absolutely refuse this simple tool which adds a whole lot of ease to life and even a sense of security.

>>
>>9680741
>Using your laptop on the train or bus to write last minute homework is not affectation.

for the students who work 80 hours a week and go to school full time, it's not affectation. because they literally have no other time in which to do it. for all other students (which is most of them), it is.

>Using your own tools because you're more comfortable with them and rely on them is not a dislay of affectation.

actually that pretty much meets the definition of affectation spot on?

a tool is there to allow you to accomplish a specific task. does it allow you to accomplish the task at the requisite pace? that is the only non-affected question to ask about a tool.

>You made me sad, have to go beat my roomates cat now.

You should seek professional services. I don't mean that as an insult, I mean that as honest advice. One day you might find a way to operate in society without feeling the need to physically project your self-hatred onto other living beings.

Pocket knife is "hidden" in a small upper arm pocket on one on my shell jackets. Knife laws are ridiculous here but my defence is that I "forgot" it there the last time I went into the woods. Should work.

Unless I'm wearing a backpack (laptop etc) or are returning home from buying weed (small dry sack in jacket pocket) I never really need anything else summer or winter.

>>9688522
Correct. Why did you go for Norway instead of Sweden, Finland or Denmark? I guess Finland doesn't have as strict knife laws and Norwegians wear more shell jackets than any other Nordic countries. But still impressibe anon.
>>
>>9688555
The Snus. Also it was a guess. But Snus is far more popular in Norge than in Denmark for example.

This is hilarious in two scenarios
Either
A) You stole that pen from Supercuts; meaning you get your hair cut at Supercuts.
B) You work at Supercuts; meaning you (for whatever reason) bring six hot dogs to work every day.

I'm just... really curious which one is true, or maybe even the possibility of a much weirder third scenario.

You can always detect someone outside of the US. It's a tool, not just a weapon. I use my knife all the time for all kinds of things and yeah if someone does try to mug me id rather have it on me

honestly it's better to not carry a knife for those types of situations. if you're getting robbed in the skreets, the last thing you want to do is pull out a weapon and try to stand your ground. motherfuckers are crazy and will slay you in the street without thinking twice. they will literally empty an entire clip into you and then kick the shit out of your dead body.

if you grew up in the city, then you know this shit and you either 1) do the mugging yourself, 2) carry a strap and will slay anyone that makes a move on you without hesitation, or 3) you realize that your wallet and phone are not worth your life or any conception of "honor".

seriously, if you get mugged in the city either run or just do the drill and hand your shit over. there are people out there who will kill you at the drop of a pin. and your knife will do absolutely nothing to protect yourself from them. if anything it could lead to escalation.

the best defense against mugging is blending in. of course, muggers shouldn't mug in the first place. but they do, and so some street smarts never hurt.

seriously all these transplants come to the city acting though shit because they used to participate in drunken boxing in bars back home. they think they can handle their own, when they don't realize that people don't fucking play in the city. they won't box you or knife fight you 1 on 1. they'll jump you with 5 dudes, guns drawn, ready to put you down.

>living in America
>ever

It's crazy how "the city" in your country means "horribly violent and gangs rampant", and "inner city" is synonymous with "ghetto". I don't know how you can live in a country where it's expected for people to not go to certain parts of town because they'll get mugged for sure, or you need to carry a gun everywhere in case someone pulls something on you.

The worst crime here is pickpockets, and they're rarely (if ever) armed. Even still all we do is maybe carry around a second wallet with a few bucks and expired cards in it just in case.

But really, you could move from America to a third world country and you'd probably be safer.
>>
>>9692586

continued: i was on a court case where two inner city gang members chased down a 14 year old kid and stabbed him through the neck with a katana, killing him instantly.

think about the mentality you have to be in to do something like that. to kill a 14 year old 2-on-1 in a grizzly, carnal fashion. you think you're going to defend yourself against that type of person with a 2.5 inch utility knife?

no fucking way. the best way to defend yourself from that person is to have street smarts and not get caught in that type of situation in the first place. which is not victim-blaming. 100% of the blame goes to the perps. but if you wanna talk realistic defense: blend-in. failing that, run. or if you're the type who will shoot first and ask questions later, carry a strap. i don't recommend or advocate that third option at all, but it's a hell of a lot more viable than a box-cutter

>>9692595

Oh and where do you live where it's a utopia m8? the social issues and associated violence of inner cities is a transnational problem. it does not have borders. wherever there is systemic wealth disparity, you will find it

The less I carry the better I feel. If I could buy shit and unlock my house with a fingerprint I wouldn't carry anything.

>>9692608

European countries tend to have their poor people outside of the inner city. Doesn't prevent crime in those areas but it does keep dumb rich people and tourists from wandering from downtown into a mugging.
