My pocketknife is "tactical"? - General

A manual knife where you push the blade out MANUALLY with your thumb.

[QUOTE=oyotnas;22227822]A cop tryed to confinscate my knife because I was 13. So Being the genius I am I asked for a reciept. He said "what?" then i said " officer if you are to confinscate any object on my person you are to give me a reciept of proof that it is illegal to carry the object if not you are breaking the law I file a compliant you get suspended."The cop gave me back my knife. My dad told to do that if a cop trys to confinscate my knife. The same thing happened to my older brother.They usually give the knife to thier sons or some shit like that or personal use.[/QUOTE] Well is it illegal to carry around a knife?

A pocket knife is specifically used as a tool. I guess I could use my dinner fork as a tool to open a box with, but that still doesn't change that it's a dinner fork. and it would be better replaced by a pocket knife.

I have a knife that's very similar to yours, OP, but mine says tactical and it wouldn't help me much if I were stopped by an officer. :saddowns:

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;22227909]tacticool 12 year old shit[/QUOTE] How ironic that you label others as "12 years old" and yet use a completely pejorative meaningless word ("tacticool").

I doubt that they design and sell all these "tools" just for the specific reason of cutting open duct tape. These things are easily replaced by a swiss army knife in case you need something.

You dont ned a licence to carry a pocket knife. Are you implying that boy scouts should be arrested for not having a licence to carry a knife. No one has ever needed a licence to own a knife. And it is called self defense.

Swiss Army Knives are expensive, at least around here they cost at least $25 (even at the flea market). Knives that are designed like "combat tactical knives" happen to be around the $5 to $10 region, and they are sold at variety stores like Wal-Mart. Yes my "tactical" knife is from Wal-Mart, as I hear anyways.

Besides, he was going to a fight. Now, bringing a knife to "back your friend up"? What kind of bull is that if you're telling me it's legal to use a weapon like that? More legal bull incoming.

Being in the military I have all kinds of uses for a knife.. so I carry mine on me at all times. Cutting rope (I tie stuff down in my truck), cutting strings (why on earth would I carry a scissor or something to get rid of them when a knife has many more purposes), opening stupid fucking plastic containers, and other various uses. But I made sure mine was within the laws of the area.. if not it's not lie I'm going to pull it out. Next time you see the officer be like "Sir, I currently have my pocket knife on me and it's within the laws of this county and state" before he even finds it. They're gonna (hopefully) respect you more since you came out with it instead of (unintentionally) making it look like you didn't want them to find it. I wish I could keep that knife you posted though in my boots. Would be interesting..

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;22227734]Webster can kiss my ass, a pocket knife is a tool, OP's shit is a stabbing weapon.[/QUOTE] Almost everything is a stabbing weapon with enough force and a suitably large target.

Oh Okay. so because something is more expensive, you're going to go out and buy a weapon to replace it. 25$ is not expensive AT ALL for something that will require no replacing.

wow a knife? you must be some sort of serial killer

[QUOTE=QuadCoreGman;22228103]Almost everything is a stabbing weapon with enough force and a suitably large target.[/QUOTE] Yes, but OP's weapon was designed to do so. a swiss knife was designed as a tool.

[QUOTE=QuadCoreGman;22228103]Almost everything is a stabbing weapon with enough force and a suitably large target.[/QUOTE] most things would require a ridiculous speed or force, objects like bricks and rocks lol imagine that "FUCK I GOT STABBED BY A BRICK AUGH"

tell us about fighting the muggers

Does the serration make cuts from it worse? As far as I know, a serrated edge makes the knife act more like a saw and be better at sawing hard materials. Unless you use a sawing motion, which you probably wouldn't do while attacking someone, I don't think you could cut as bad with a serrated edge.

It's just another case of someone not knowing what the fuck anything is, and since it looks like it, it must be it! derpa derp derp derp. Serrated tears worse then a blade, causing more pain, but it does not cut as deep.

Plus its pretty hard not to hide a pocket knife on the count of it having a clip in it to place in a pocket. And yes I was going to witness a fight OHHH is that to scary for you to comprehend. Oh and I am so sorry that I know my laws.
