all tell me how much they like it or ask where I got it or how much was it. none of the you can't have that BS here.

Of course wearing a big knife on your hip in public might get you some attention.


My son, a pilot, carries a folding knife in a pouch on his belt everywhere he goes. It has a 1/2 serrated blade and 1/2 plain blade. LEOs have asked (in conversation) about the knife and my son calls it his "PET". (PILOT EXTRACTION TOOL) and he has never been given any flak about wearing the thing in public. He and his students have had experiences where the plane came down quickly without power. You get the point.
