    I saw a quote from the mayor of London where he stated that “no one has a legitimate reason to carry a knife all of the time” or words to that effect right before he banned pointy ones. His statement makes it glaringly obvious that he has never done a days work in his life. That or he is lying and doesn’t really believe what he is saying.
    Made me think about how I actually miss mine constantly if I don’t have one with me. I whip out my knife several times each day for a sundry of reason and none of them have ever been to harm another for over half a century. I have even been guilty of turning around and going back home to get my knife if I had slipped out the door without it. I do have a truck knife that stays there all of the time but it’s not practical to carry.

      It just seems as though those who enjoy carrying them mainly do so out of some kind of insecurity and/or peer pressure and make up excuses to have them
      Unless you work or live in out of the way places, they have no use outside of the home
      But, I shouldn't expect much from Americans who think going to the local corner shop warrants carrying an anti-tank gin
      You're all married to those chunks of steel and value your own lives as lesser than your precious guns considering your content with school shootings

  • @DirkJanFotografie
    @DirkJanFotografie Před 9 měsíci

    So…. Watched the first 20 reasons and I was like: I’m either in the kitchen for that so there’s no need to edc the knife because I’ve got kitchen knives. Or I can do it with my hands (open a bag of crisps), or why would anyone slice a popcicle to eat it? And with the internet credit I was like: outside the US, at least in the EU, put a picture like that online and risk getting a visit from the police to ask why you’d show of the knife and probably get it confiscated.
    So again, why would I need a knife with me if I’m not in the kitchen? If anything, a multitool is much more useful. I can use it to fix my bike on the go, open random packages and bottles, fix random broken things around the house, at work, or anywhere really. What can a knife do other than slice things or get you arrested?
