Some of you may have read my old thread http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulletin/defensive-knives-other-weapons/58402-thats-really-scary-looking-knife-whats-world-coming.html
I have a new story about knives at my work :smile:
So today while I was working a woman about 40 or so came up to me. She held out a bag of candy and asked "Do you have anything to open this with?" I smiled and said "Yeah no problem." I reached into my pocket and pulled out my Gerber Firestorm. I was careful to open it slowly instead of flicking out the blade one handed. I opened her bag and when I looked back at her face, I was suprised to see her in a state of horror. "Umm.. why do you carry a knife?" I almost laughed and pointed to the bag I had just opened. "For opening little things like that mostly"
My manager must have seen the look on her face and walked over. "Anything I can help you with?" he asked. I explained the situation and he asked to see the knife. I showed him and he whistled. "Is this legal?" he asked. "Yes, I wouldn't carry it if it wasn't." The head manager came over. By now I was getting embarrassed that there was 3 people standing around me just because I helped someone open a bag. My head manager asked "What seems to be the problem?" I explained the situation again. He took a look at the knife, folded it back up and gave it back to me. He turned to the customer and asked, "Didn't you want your bag opened by this young man?" "Yeah, I guess." "Well there ya go" my head manager said with a smile. :smile:
My (not head) manager said "Well I guess thats that. Be careful with that Rambo" and walked off. Sometimes im simply amazed by what the :sheep: do.
