The wife and I were at Williams and Sonoma this weekend returning a pepper grinder when I started looking at the knives (mmmm... knives ) one of the people in the store came over and asked if I needed any help, and I asked her if I could look at a Shun folding steak knife, and took it out and asked me if I carry knives often, I unclipped the knife I had on my pocket and showed it to her, and she said "do you always carry the knife? for self defense? Like a gun?" I was startled, but made sure not to react, then she said "I have friends in washington who think that everyone in TX carries all the time", I said, "We'll, that's a bad stereotype, why would you need one of those?" and we both laughed, and she said "yeah, I know they're (her friends) silly"

I had my Sig P239 IWB at 3:00 under a Blue star brewery (San Antonio) t-shirt. she left to get a knife out of the stockroom, and my wife and I looked at eachother at the same time, and smiled.

Another "Nobody knows, nobody suspects" moments.

I would probably go do something stupid like: "You don't????!!! I thought it's the law." :-)

I always carry a knife. I actually carry two. I have a Kershaw Ken Onion assisted opening model as well as a Leatherman. My friends get a big kick when I get asked by someone if I have a knife they can borrow. I usually ask back something deadpan like “Do you need a folding knife, a multi-tool knife or just a straight up knife cause I don’t have one of those.

However, since I know absolutely nothing about knife fighting, I would never consider any of them a self-defense weapon. They are simply tools.

Hmm, a Shun folding steak knife... did you buy the knife?

The wife bought it for me.

I'm still waiting on something that is worthy of being cut by the knife

This is an intersting way you could use it! Great system also.
