Not a "go out to dinner" guy, due mostly to finances. last weekend I had to splurge and was appalled at the cutlery.
I used my fucking Benchmade 9555 for a steak knife, as the only thing provided was a butter knife and the fork was one that seemed "disposable". Is there a classier way than bringing a set from home wrapped in a 'Pow/Mia' kerchief? |

Should have neck punched the waiter until he gave you better cutlery.

Some Scottish dirks come with a fork and a small steak knife that ride in the same sheath...

Keep the knife and fork away from your perineum.
Just do it. You'll thank me later. |
|
Try asking for appropriate utensils - or stop eating at Golden Corral.

Wait, did you just say that you used your EDC knife as a steak knife in a restaurant?

I usually keyster a titanium spork, easy to discretely slip past most restaurant's metal detectors. Remember to tie the lanyard TIGHT so you don't lose it up there, I'll never get that four hours of my life back.

I usually carry one of these when I go out to eat for no reason other than it pisses my future ex-wife off. http://www.survival-spot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/TitaniumSpork_000.jpg I lost my spork at a hotel and haven't bought another one yet....should I splurge and go Ti or be cheap and go plastic? |

For years my father would pull out his properly sharpened pocket knife when we went out to eat. The crap they give you is a joke.
I'm actually not sure why he stopped doing it to be honest. I'm surprised he doesn't break out the matching set of Randall knife and fork.... |
|
I have never been to a restaurant that did not supply proper cutlery.
Am I doing it wrong? |

Get the titanium one, that way you won't feel out of place at a high end restaurant. |

Several years ago I actually wrote an article about this. My best pick was the folding AG Russell Fruit Tester. Easy to carry, large enough to do the job and very handsome looking.

I use my EDC knife, well, everyday. I use it to cut shit, pick my finger nails and teeth as well as assorted other manly shit. I use to eat when I'm at the huntin' camp or maybe even my backyard. I have yet to use it to cut up my food at a real restaurant. Guess I'm a pussy. |

How about saving up, and when going out for steak, go to a place that at least will give you the appropriate cutlery? You know, like Outback, or Olive Garden?

Outback has some kick ass steak knives.....trust me I live about 400 yards from one Also I have never broken out my EDC for use at a restaurant.....Yet |

The Mexican joint had steak and I wasn't in the mood for Fajitas. It wasn't some fancy schmancy place like Olive Garden. I have seen a cased knife and fork set, I thought here, and as I am particular about my cutlery thought of bringing my own when going out to eat. |

Quoted: Wait, did you just say that you used your EDC knife as a steak knife in a restaurant? I have done it before when the knife provided sucked. Same when going to a friends house for dinner. One day I will break down and buy something a little classier .. ETA: Didn't realize using your pocket knife to cut food at a eatery was such a big deal. My grandfather and father both did it regularly. I never thought twice about doing it either. |

My wife spoiled me when she spent ridiculous money on flatware a few years back. Our cutlery could double as a bludgeon and I am disappointed when using inferior utensils. |

I'm not sure it's possible to "splurge" at a place that provides plastic forks.
|

Not often, but I have. Why, is it offensive?
