Is it true that outside of North American it is rare for people to carry knives?
I've carried a knife my entire life, my father has done the same and most males I've know as well.
It's as normal as carrying your wallet or keys.
Carrying knife got to be illegal since 2005 here.
>>53079065
*2008
>>53079015
why though?
>>53079065
Even a utility blade under 12cm? I couldn't imagine not carrying a knife, it's so useful.
>>53079015
Bitch ass nigga, we take care of our shit with our own hands
>>53079015
Let me guess. You and your father are both /k/fags virgins.
>>53079096
This. Why?
>>53079015
Technically, it's illegal here, but it really depends of the knife and how you behave. Wielding a knife under somebody's face will get you in trouble, even if the blade is under 12cm, but I carry a swiss knife and never had any problem.
>>53079151
>>53079155
I carry one but it's not for fighting... it's a tool.
>>53079015
Why would you carry a knife around though? Not that I'm necessarily against it, it just seems a bit weird.
Country folk used to carry knives here until perhaps the mid 20th century. Stabbings in the tavern are still a part of our folklore, but education and communist repression eventually fixed that problem, I guess.
>>53079209
Opening packages, a pry, a scrapper, shaving... really int?
>not carrying a pistol
I want underages to leave
>>53079015
One of my mates carries a butterfly knife with him all the time, he's just itching to use it. Dunno if he'd have the balls though.
Obviously you can here and some people do, but I've never needed one before in my everyday life so I don't see why you would
>>53079281
>underage
more like "tough" chicano L.O.O.O.O.L.
>>53079268
I open packages with my keys, and generally don't need to do any of that other stuff in public, but that's just me desu.
>>53079534
I would never use my keys, what if you break it? They're not cheap.
>>53079015
carrying big knifes is ilegal here (bassically the size of a dagger or bigger), is not normal for people to carry knifes except for people that live in a farm
>>53079631
Fortunately, my keys are not made of jelly, so they don't break when cutting through cardboard
I carry a (folding) utility knife for everyday shit.
If I'm working working I'll go for an actual folding knife because cheap replaceable blades are too flimsy. But I get so sick of having to sharpen it every few weeks.
And fuck all these europoor haters. Knives are tools, not weapons. You could stab someone just as easily with a screwdriver.
>>53079684
tensile stress still causes fatigue though
>>53079838
Who the hell carries a screwdriver around with them in public? What the fuck is this, GTA or something?
>>53079684
You obviously haven't had to contend with people who use reinforced nylon packing tape. You ain't never cutting through that shit.
>>53079864
I would but screwdrivers don't tend to fit nicely in my pocket, so they'll have to stay in the toolbox in my car. They make nice impromptu prybars.
>What the fuck is this, GTA or something?
I don't understand what you mean.
>>53079996
I carry a Swiss Army Knife.
>muh letters and boxes
jeez, do murriblubs just receive an endless amount of boxed packages every day?
No, no one does that.
that's why we just have a knife by our desk or something for when we need it I don't expect random cardboard boxes to appear and in dire need of being opened 24/7
>>53080043
Too fat. Uncomfortable to carry in my pocket. Also too short (and expensive) to use as a prybar.
No, I work in an office, not on some sort of cowboy ranch.
>>53080110
Mine isn't too big, I carry a leather man for work, but for just in case needed, the Swiss army knife works fine.
>>53079015
Me and my closer male relatives all carry knives. I don't go around asking other people if they carry knives, though.
>>53079015
Some People have utity knives or swiss army knives but they are a minority. And knives from a certain blade length are forbidden (don't know which).
>>53079268
Why would you need any of those outside of your home or workplace?
>>53080160
>Being too stupid to see the advantages of having a tool at all times.
>>53079015
I carry a pocket knife with me most of the times. I don't use it in front of people who aren't friends of mine, though. People get scared when you whip open a knife in front of them, even if you use it to open a box or something. I also leave it at home when I'm going to a club.
swiss knife, my dad prefers a multitool
>>53079015
Why the fuck would you need a knife for?
>>53079188
buy a switchblade. it is more usefull
Don't start buying knives, once you do it's hard to stop.
>>53080160
Usually you end up forgetting you have it until you need it. Much like you forget you're carrying a wallet until you feel a paki bump into you.
>>53080385
I keep my multitool in my bag. It's just too massive to be worn in your pocket.
>>53080404
Because you may come in a situation where you may need it.
>>53080460
I would love to own one but I can't get it because they're illegal here, just like butterfly knives.
>>53080404
You realize how stupid you sound when you can't even figure out what a basic tool like a knife is used for, right?
>>53080552
I know right
he has a belt holster for it, I find it impractical
>>53080561
I live in the countryside and I can't think of any use for a knife, maybe if I were a farmer or really paranoid someone was going to attack me.
>>53080561
For food, but I have a kitchen full of knives anon.
As for opening packages I'd obviously be at home and just use scissors.
>>53080589
Yeah, I have a belt holster for it as well but I'm not a janitor or a handyman so I don't really need to have it nearby all of the time. And it would just get in the way.
>>53080683
>I'd obviously be at home and just use scissors.
Hope you've got a licence for those scissors, lad.
Always thought Sophie's reaction to a small knife was weird...
I'd hate to see her reaction if they lived in America and Mark got his CC permit
I cannot understand people who think a 3 inch knife would be used as a weapon.
Says a lot about that person.
Everyone I know has always had a small utility knife or multitool on their person most of the time, and they would never use it to fight. It's entirely a tool.
It's 3 fucking inches. Not long enough to hit anything vital unless you're a ninja, and it would probably snap on contact.
Seems eurofags are fucking terrified of being in possession of anything that might require even the slightest of personal responsibility.
Which is odd because up until very recently it was perfectly normal to carry and own such things in Europe if history books are anything to go by.
carrying a knife? what are you, a thief?
>>53079151
Callate negro cabeza
Knifes are an argie tradition. But niggers and italians (aka niggers) don't understand it. The knife is a tool and it is also used for dueling
>>53080964
You're making fun of us for not doing something we ditched centuries ago? Unless you're extremely paranoid there's no use for a knife in today's age.
I never did until I started working maintenance.
Started as a work habit but recently I've started doing it either intentionally or unintentionally off the clock.
>ITT: Retards who can't comprehend that a knife can be used for more than one thing
Why would you NOT carry a knife around?
What if you need to skin an animal or something?
>>53080937
Their reaction to gunny was equally hilarious
>>53081047
>paranoid
who the fuck uses a 5cm knife for fighting anything, including a mouse
>>53081047
What is so paranoid about using a basic tool?
And knives are no longer used in Europe? There is zero need for a sharp object?
From my point of view it is completely bizarre.
>>53080561
You are the retard here, no one needs a knife for every day life. Unless OP has to open packages on a daily basis, which I doubt. A knife has no use other than open shit up and cut shit up.
Only 14 year old edgy kids carry knives around here, and i'm pretty fucking sure it's the same in the netherlands
>>53081085
I know right, what if I'm out and about and the lord calls me to join his army? I won't even have a weapon!
>>53080673
A folder is absolutely shit for self defence.
Also, it's nice to just be able to cut something if the need arises like a piece or rope or if you get a package. You won't have to walk around looking for scissors because you have something for that in your pocket at all times.
I first started carrying a knife when I worked in a kitchen, and it has vastly improved my life.
>>53081047
>Being this much of a stereotypical cuck
>ITT: A bunch of pussies who are afraid of sharp objects
>>53081147
Why do you even need to carry around tools?
>>53081176
>Also, it's nice to just be able to cut something if the need arises like a piece or rope or if you get a package.
how often are you getting packages in the middle of street or cutting stretches of rope m8
>>53081147
There's zero need for a sharp object unless I'm at home or at work.
>>53081140
I live in a first world country so I'm not used to seeing knife fights on a daily basis, can you explain how a knife wouldn't be useful in a fight?
>>53079015
Why would you need a knife when you're outside though? If you have to open letters or packages you're either at home or at work where you have the tools you need
>>53081235
>>53081176
Maybe he's a gypsy that goes around stealing packages lad.
>>53079015
My little Swiss Army knife that was fucking designed to go on a keychain has helped in many situations.
I suppose most people would prefer to use their teeth.
>>53081214
>why yes, i do carry a knife around with me
>just...in case
>>53081214
I'm not afraid. I just think it's dumb as shit for someone to carry something that has no use outside a kitchen. Also cringeworthy as fuck.
The only people I have seen carry a knife were teenagers (most definitely blacks and/or shitskins).
>>53081237
5cm of technical steel would most likely skid or bend, also wouldn't even harm any internal organs if it happened to penetrate skin (which is more flexible and resistant than most people believe)
you could technically gouge an eye out with one but come the fuck on who runs around with a pocket knife and gouges people's eyes out
>>53081085
You laugh, but I do carry a set of butchering/skinning knives in a compartment underneath my car's seat right next to my AK pistol.
Filled up my freezer last year with nothing but deer that thoughtfully threw themselves in front of my car. Six total. Only one of them had a busted gut.
Was my civic duty to put the things out of their misery anyway, so I may as well make use of the bodies.
Pity they made it illegal to butcher moose roadkill in Canada. Wasteful desu. Also endangers scavengers.
Knives are a thing in Andalusia.
>7 cm (larger-than, not greentext) blades aren't allowed in city areas unless you have a cause for it
>>53081357
>but come the fuck on who runs around with a pocket knife and gouges people's eyes out
people
people that are retarded enough to carry a knife around for no actual reasons
>>53079015
I've never carried a knife about
but its not particularly dangerous here
either way if you don't know how to fight with a knife its not going to do you much good and if anything might end with you getting stabbed by your own blade.
>>53081455
ban assault spoons, it's possible to blind a person with a spoon
>>53081455
Just because you would use a knife for something like that, doesn't mean a sane person would.
>>53081502
Dude, nobody with a brain carries a knife for self defense. Nobody wins in a knife fight.
>>53081320
>>53081327
Knives have an unlimited number of uses, you are just pathetic losers, as I have already said.
And I don't carry around a fucking buther's axe, it's just a folding knife, Jesus.
>>53081357
>5cm of technical steel would most likely skid or bend
where the fuck are you buying your knives?
>>53081628
Can you tell us some things you use it for when you're out and about?
>>53081631
what, they make pocket knives out of 1000x folded Damascus steel all of a sudden?
>>53079015
I do that too dude. Also, I also carry flint and steel, my cold steel kukri (very good quality) and flagon in case I ran out of oxygen when going to bus stop, so I can start splinter some wood and build a shelter. Winter time in Finland is very harsh you know.
>>53081597
I have brass knuckles I keep in my bag though
carrying a utility knife is common but I don't do it normally
>>53081537
>>53081570
I wouldnt trust someone walking around with a knife in their pocket because there is literally no use for it in a daily situation. What the fuck is anyone gonna do with a pocket knife? Absolutely nothing, that's right. So if it tells me something about that one person that carries, it's that he/she is retarded. And God knows what retarded people can do.
>>53081628

top tier post
>>53081664
I go fishing, I can use my knife to fix the fish hook.
I see a string sticking out of my trousers or shirt and I know that it will get worse if I pull on it, I can cut it off.
I buy a bag of candy and it doesn't have a practical opening, I can cut the top off.
Need to open a bottle? Use a knife.
Get a splinter, I can take it out with a knife (or twizzers, if I am carrying my swiss army knife at that moment).
Maybe I have a piece of paper and I want to put it in half. If I don't have a pair of scissors with me, I can use a knife.
Maybe I need to unscrew a screw, I can use a knife for that too.
There are many other ways to use it, but this is on the top of my head.
>>53081796
>knives are handy tools of countless uses
Like what? When was the last time you absolutely needed to use a knife?
>>53079015
Ï carry a hammer and Axe. Till Valhalla! Gopniks afraid of my wrath!
>>53082022
I guess so, I haven't had to do any of those things since I was around 12 though. I miss fishing.
>North America
Oh no, don't bring us into this. You only carry a knife in Canada if you're trekking in the wilderness hunting or you're an autistic faggot.
>>53082074
Convenience is the word, not need.
Easier to reach in my pocket to slit open a bag of horse feed than go looking for a set of scissors.
Easier to use the blunt side to unscrew a screw than walking all the way back to my truck to go digging in my toolbox.
Clean my nails.
Other stuff.
Point is, it's not a big deal like you, Belgium, and Britain are making it out to be. It's like carrying your wallet or keys. You just do it, you don't think about it or make a fuss.
Insinuating that anyone who carries what an otherwise mundane bit of sharp metal in their pocket is going to go on a stabbing spree at any moment is actually pretty insulting.
>>53082409
>You only carry a knife in Canada if you're trekking in the wilderness
You've given yourself away Vancouver||Toronto fag.
Your opinion is worthless.
>>53082022
>I go fishing, I can use my knife to fix the fish hook.
Fishing is something you prepare for, doesn't happen spontaneously.
>I see a string sticking out of my trousers or shirt and I know that it will get worse if I pull on it, I can cut it off.
Usually can just pull it off without any problems.
>I buy a bag of candy and it doesn't have a practical opening, I can cut the top off.
Never had a bag of candy that I couldn't open with my hands.
>Need to open a bottle? Use a knife.
I have a key chain. Much easier.
>Get a splinter, I can take it out with a knife (or twizzers, if I am carrying my swiss army knife at that moment).
Splinters are not a daily occurrence for me.
>Maybe I have a piece of paper and I want to put it in half. If I don't have a pair of scissors with me, I can use a knife.
Can tear off with my hands with out any problems. Probably looks better than a piece that was cut with a knife.
>Maybe I need to unscrew a screw, I can use a knife for that too.
Not a daily occurrence. If I know that I would need to fix something, I come prepared.
>>53082499
Yes, if you work on a farm or something like that, I completely understand.
Average person has no need for a knife.
>>53082499
that's because you're a country boy, so I guess you're fine
still seems rather annoying to carry a knife for that one time you may want to use it... and since you're talking about conveience, having a big ass sharp tool on me all day long seems rather unconvenient, as opposed to just wait to get home and/or use my keys
>>53082532
No, I'm not. I've always lived in rural bc, and never lived in Vancouver. No one but the most autistic fagbois carry a knife unless there's a purpose, like out hunting or fishing
I forgot I was on 4chan. You really don't need a knife when you're sitting inside 24/7.
>>53082655

Don't need a knife when you're in a first world country.

>>53082880
>i always carry a le knife with me in case i need to rescue a damsel in distress
I've seen threads like these on int before and it's almost always a britfag losing his collective shit at the thought of someone carrying a knife.
At least 3 or 4 times now.
>>53083294
Only savages would need to carry something USEFUL on a daily basis. If I can't do it on my iPhone, I'm not interested.
>>53083137
It is inconvenient because I have a job that requires me to sit in front of a computer for 9 hours a day. My phone already feels too big in my pocket when I'm on my chair, and so do my wallet and keys which is very uncomfotable. It is inconvenient because it's useless (to me at least) and I have no use for it. Obviously no one carries shit that they have no need for. And if I ever need one, I can just use my keys, or a knife if I'm at home.
>>53083294
Maybe one day where you live will be first world and you don't need to carry a knife around all the time.
>>53079096
Knives can actually come in pretty handy as a tool. I don't carry one around myself, but I'll occasionally run into an issue where I need to ask someone to lend me their knife.
it's mindboggling that so many of you treat POCKETKNIVES as fucking guns or something
I carry these in case I need to open something
>>53083293
Are lighters illegal in your country too, or do you need a registration for them?
>>53083654

jk though, I use these a lot too
>>53083654
An olfa knife is pretty random, although I knew a guy who carried around a pair of scissors.
It's not something you need every single day but it's handy, definitely need one when you go backpacking/camping.
I always carry around a set of skis on me.
Y'know...just in case I suddenly need to go skiing.
>>53083294
that must be full of knifes.
Nope, probably just weird in the UK.
You'll suspected as criminal with bringing knife everyday.
Nope carrying it around is the norm here, you never know when you might need to skin a goat or two on a sidewalk.

>It's something self-hating officer-worker cucks like me will never, ever need.
>>53080281
No stop spouting bullshit.
They're not forbidden, but knives over 12cm and one handed opening knives are not allowed to be carried in public without a good reason (hunting, reenactment, etc.; they won't accept self defense).

I can see where you would have this notion because you've probably never seen a folding pocket knife in your life. It would snap at the hinge before it would go through a a light coat.
Your paring knife is a solid piece of steel with a handle over a portion of it. This is why folding knives are legal for personal carry ( a tool ) and blades designed for stabbing ( butterflies, switch blades, and handled knives ) are not.
Fucking Brit cucks.
>>53083293

>>53085891
I've never had any of those problems with my pocket knife, I haven't tried lynching anyone with it like a true American though so maybe I'm inexperienced.
>>53085891
I guarantee that if you google "pocket knife murder" there will be hundreds of articles.
>>53079110
well... if you live in the country then may be it is. But if you live in the city what would you need a knife for?
A while ago I started carrying a knife around after so many people reccommend it. I used it maybe like one time to jimmy something on my bike and repair it. Other than that I never had use for it. I don't know what kind of lives you guys live, but a knife is just in the way for me.
It's more likely that I just attract the wrong kind of attention than actually need it for something.

A shallow blade is the only practical option, a long blade may do damage to internal organs, but you wouldn't get far with one. A short blade used to slash can tear open multiple veins and have them bleed out fairly quickly. Internal organ damage is bad, but you'd need a larger weapon.

That's why I carry around scuba gear, you never know when the polar ice caps will finally melt.
>>53086928
It's much easier to open a letter with a knife rather than one of those letter openers.
>>53087070
I think you are far less likely to need scuba gear than a tool, but okay.
>>53087017
Enough of this
>>53086871
That's because we use decisive wording in America. We don't dance around something with semantics when there's no validity in our argument.
If you can't see the use of a knife as a tool it's because of cultural differences. It's because you live in a nanny state where someone under the age 18 wasn't allowed to purchase a set of spoons.
>>53087073
You can open a letter with your fingers desu, knives and letter openers are kinda redundant
>>53086996
>many things
like, uh uh uh ...
>>53087158
read the thread
>>53087125
Woah there, that sounds problematic!
>>53079015
My family is from a village where everybody carries a machete and/or a rifle. It's illegal, but the police there doesn't give a shit because it's a rural zone and everybody is a hunter or a farmer.
>>53087125
No one is arguing that a knife isn't a useful tool. If you are a hunter, postman, fisherman etc...
A regular citizen does not need a knife.
Can you open letters with your hands?
yes
Can you gut a fish with your hands?
no
This is the difference between practical and impractical.
>>53087073
>letter openers
.... WHAT?
what do you need hands for? I can't even imagine how a letter opener would look like. Is that a thing?
>>53087190
No, I want your list of "many things".
>>53087190
>>53087125
The only person with a valid answer was the slav, all you americans just spouted shit about having to open packages you find in the middle of the road.
>not carrying a multi-tool
I agree that people that carry hunting/combat knives are autistic though.
>>53087223
letter openers are pretty old fashioned things that old people have at their desk
it's a very blunt little knife
>>53087143
>>53087223
That's how you get the envelope all torn up and maybe even damage the letter. All it takes is a single motion with the knife.
>>53087125
A knife IS useful.
But the average Joe does not need to carry a knife.
How hard is it to understand that there is no point in carrying a knife if there is no need for it?
>yfw europeans have to call their local police department whenever they need to open a letter
I carry one of these in my jacket pocket, I have a million around the house from when I was working a shit retail job. It does come in handy from time to time, and it's so light and small I usually forget it's there.
>>53087143
You can, but it's a fucking hassle. Much easier to just slice open the shorter end.
>>53087314
Damn
>>53087221
>A regular citizen
Fucking cuck. You disgust me.
>>53087309
You're the ones making a big deal out of it though
>oh my god, the letter has arrived
>good thing I came PREPARED
>>53087309
>yfw Americans are so obese they need a tool to open a simple letter because their sausage fingers are too big
I find this thread enlightening
if one would care to analyse the source of Western degeneration surely being afraid of tools "because there are people who kill with tools" would be one of them
>>53087125
There isn't much in reasonable life that you need a knife for, not in public anyway.
>>53087314
>>53087356
isn't that what the 9/11ers used to hijack the planes?
this is what USA vs Europe threads have devolved to now? letter openers?
>>53087309
use your hands holy shit
>>53087434
Maybe. I'd never heard that one before, though.
But as you can see it has a million uses, whether on the ground or three miles up in the air.
>>53086719
Please don't lump us all in with all these pussy-whipped, scared of everything fucksticks that we share a landmass with. They're the reason we have sandniggers flooding europe and everything they say should be discarded.
But yes, not that many people over here EDC a knife and if they do it's normally a folding one or a multitool. I carry a fixed Mora which I use at least atleast once day, be it opening boxes (not a meme, I actually open dozens at work every day), cutting shit or when I'm bored, cleaning my fingernails and whittling stuff.
I never had to use it in self defense and hope I never have to.
If somebody thinks they don't need one: fine
STFU and carry on
But don't get scared and piss all over the place when some thinks otherwise.
>>53086996
>>53086996
>>53086996
surely you can come up with a few of these "many" things
apart from making you feel like a big boy
>>53087547
Isn't it illegal to be someone like you in Germany?
>>53087468
People that carry wont just admit they carry a knife because they think it's cool. Because let's be honest now, a knife has very little use, which does not justify any average guy carrying it.
>>53087221
Once again, that's a difference of cultures.
I carry a small knife, and if I need it's there. Whether or not I need it every 5 minutes like my smart phone is redundant. I can use it to open a package of jerky that won't tear without using my teeth. I can pick a pebble out of the tread of my shoe. I can drop my tire pressure if it's icy.
It's not like I'm going to slip, fall, and cut my dick off with it.
>>53087628
i'll have you know that I carry a pocket watch and it is useful for an almost INFINITE amount of things
anyone who doesn't approve is just scared of pocket watches
>>53087547
this
also tightening screws, fixing bends with the pliers, dat flashlight, bottle opener/corkscrew to open beverages, filing your nails, measuring things with the ruler, etc
they barely take up any space in your pocket and help you do tons of different things when needed. i also like to carry a lighter even though i don't even smoke.
>>53087628
>a knife has very little use
are you retarded?
fuck I used my knife like an hour ago to cut open a cigarillo at a bus station to use as rolling paper
>>53087740
nice logic rasmus
I see the use for it but it doesn't appeal to me so I don't carry a knife with me.
only bring one when i'm in the woods and i'm actually going to use it
>>53087736
I actually did that though. My girlfriend left me and now I have to let large gay men fuck me in the ass to get any sexual pleasure at all (thank you, prostate)
BAN KNIVES NOW
I carry a leatherman if that counts, use it for work
Knives can be handy little tools and generally people who complain about them sit around doing fuck all for a living
>>53087241
You just don't understand it's uses because your country has been raped of it's manhood. It's not my fault you can't think of a use for a small folding knife or multi-tool. It's your society's.
>>53087547
>I never had to use it in self defense and hope I never have to.
I hope so too for your sake, the mora handle would probably break if you stabbed something too hard.
>>53087547
>Mora
Ma nigga.
>>53087877
You could just move to the UK. I've gathered being a eunich is all the rage there.
>waiting to cut or fix something when you get home
>not doing something productive during any downtime you may have outside of home
>>53079096
>be in america for the first time
>visit gay bar
>people over 21 got pink wristbands, people between 18 and 21 got yellow ones
>you need to have a pink wristband in order to buy drinks
>be talking to some hot guy with yellow wristband, his female BFF had a pink one
>he suddenly whips out an assault knife like pic related
>he presses a button on the knife and a big blade is getting shot out
>be thinking i'm about to get knifed, so I jump away
>see that he casually cuts his own the BFF's wristbands and switched them
>meet him again later wearing a pink wristband while he's sipping to a drink
>he asks me why i left
it was a huge turnoff, and I didn't fuck him
>>53087952
I don't think their dicks are big enough for what I need desu
>>53087893
Again, all the uses you Amerifats have brought up could easily be done with my hands or keys, the Slav is the only person in this thread that has brought up decent points.
>>53087757
So that blunt could not wait any longer heh, mad teenager?
>>53087893
Yeah m8, you're the epitome of manliness and we're all very jealous.
>>53087980
>this thing
>assault knife
>>53087980
hahaha you colossal faggot
I think I will refer Americans as Package Openers or Letter Openers from this day since it seems they come across a lot of letters and packages on a daily basis
>>53087998
And Indians clean their asshole with their left hand after they shit. I'd rather use tissue.
>>53080460
Ironically they're illegal here.
You never know when you about to open a letter or a fucking package off the fucking street
>>53088198
Some of us do.
>This is more powerful than the entire American Naval Fleet.
>>53087598
While it may appear so, rational thought hasn't been entirely forbidden here.
And from personal experience, the people that berate you for carrying a knife are the same ones that can't change tires on their own, need help setting up computers (just plugging everything in) and can't fix basic shit themselves.
>>53087756
I also carry a lighter, despite being a non-smoker. I usually open bottles with it and help out friends who smoke.
>>53087911
Does that actuall happen?
Seems pretty sturdy to me, even when I gutted my last couple of wildboar and deers with it. Went through the ribs and the middle of the pelvis like butter.
>>53087975
>waiting to shit or pee when you get home
>not doing something productive during any downtime you may have outside of home and shitting on the street
This will work 90% of the time you need a knife.
Not all knives are Buck or Bowie knives.
This thread is confusing the fuck out of me.
>>53087980
This is the most european thing I've ever read.
>>53088198
I dunno how far that's gonna go, it doesn't have the ring of Poo In Loo or Twenty Buck Fuck.
I say this not as a butthurt American, but as someone who's seen what takes off on /int/ and what doesn't. It's just not insulting enough.
>>53080964
>Seems eurofags are fucking terrified of being in possession of anything that might require even the slightest of personal responsibility.
That's exactly how it is.
>>53081047
>C'mon it's 2016!!
>>53079015
I carry a switch blade but i'm not gonna bullshit you guys with le "random carboard box appears and i need a knife right now" excuse, a while back i was going home at 3 am from work and i was getting trailed by 3 gyps, tried to shake them off at one point tried to run only to find out a fourth was waiting for me at my building entrence, got some broken ribs and a near coma beating only to find out it was over some slut i fucked and the faggy boyfriend pays gyps to beat me, regardless a knife could have saved me that night and ever since then i've been carrying it
>>53088391
A typical night in Romania.
>>53088383
Since you enjoy archaic things so much why aren't you outside getting fucked by a moor right now?
>>53088391
Pro knife guy here, they wold have just taken your knife and killed you with it.
knife is a tool - serves many purposes when you need something long, wide and sharp
an assault knife is for fucking someone's shit up, picrel is German-made Jagdkommando, made from a single chunk of metal
>>53088391
Or they manage to get it off you and now they have a knife.
>>53088391
don't trigger the Brits they're sensitive.
>>53088433
I'm sure you know all about that desu
>>53088349
This nigga gets it.
Why not be equipped to do things yourself whenever the opportunity presents itself?
It's like carrying a smartphone around to be able to utilize an internet connection when needed.
>>53088433
He is not in the UK
>>53088436
>>53088453
These things. Say you manage to stab one of them. They probably kill you for it.
>>53088433
And you call others edgy.
