I have to chime in here and I hope none of you men are offended, then again, if your MEN, then you shouldn't be. It completely sickens me to the point of real nausea when I read that a man visibly jumped at the sight of a Mini-Griptilian. Not that many years ago, every boy over about 6 years old had a knife even at school. No one cared, and it wasn't an issue. How have we come to the point where a grown man was visibly upset or shaken by the sight of a small, 3 inch bladed pocket knife? I guess I am highly fortunate that in my office (Air Force parts purchasing office) in Alaska, that knives are almost a mandatory piece of uniform gear. I am part of a Transportation unit and here even the civilians carry big bladed folders on clips, or in belt pouches and it's expected, not feared. When I retire in just under 4 years from the AF, I hope the state of things isn't so bad, for I will have to retire to the woods to hide from the sissy prissy men who jump at the sight of knives...they surely will fall right over of heart failure at the sight of my AR slung muzzle down, Kimber 45 1911 holstered, and the various knives arrayed about me... <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
