I guess if you dont use  your knife for any real work, it would be clean enough to eat with.

Is a Case MiniTrapper considered tactical/tacticool?

Quoted: Some of you fellas need to invest in another knife. You know it is ok to own more than one. -work knife -weekend knife -BBQ knife -casual knife -dress knife -defense knife -etc...

Uhhh. Isn't this normal? I have out to dinner knives for me AND the misses.

:) damn straight! i hate illinois not allowing CCW's :(

Always. Knives in restaurants aren't sharp, and I shouldn't have to saw at a filet mignon like it's a meatloaf.

ETA: True story a few days ago. I'm out with some friends, and one of them needs a knife to open...something. So I flick out my BM 721 and hand it to him. Then he asks

"Why aren't you carrying your new knife?[ teeny-tiny BokerPlus SubCom F]"
I say "I've got that one on me too."

Well, I've used my Ka-Bar to cut steaks and oranges for myself at home.  I guess that counts.    I've heard that a M7 Bayonet also makes a good steak knife.  

Yep, cut a steak in Ft. Worth and had my female National Guard recruiter look at me all crazy.  I told her to pipe down because I had more time on Active duty than she had in the Guard.  I used to use the same Benchmade Stryker to open my mail with when I was stationed in Germany.  It would seriously freak out this big ass dude from NY state too!

P.S.  I've skinned animals, turned screws. and cut a bajillion different things with my Stryker and hardly ever gotten stares around Texas, Germany and most anywhere else in the Army.  But then I got activated to go to Iraq and Ft. Dix told me I could'nt have my knife.  WTF Pussies?  I checked my SOG Navy Seal 2000 with my 1SG, WTF are you so scared of?

I used my Spyderco Police SE on a steak one time at the restaurant my wife manages. Nobody gave me the , but my wife told me not to do that again; it might scare the customers.

That being said, she's been a really good sport about my knife collecting, and now carries one of her two Spyderco's(Lava and Calypso Jr.) every day, in addition to her Kel-Tec P3AT. She rocks.

Those people who at the sight of a knife are worthless pussies beneath my contempt, and they will NEVER borrow my blade. Let them scrabble and pick at packaging with their fingernails, the politically "correct" turds.
