What do you do with that expensive cutlery....anyway?

Recommended Posts

I currently own and carry over 50 differant folders.  From cheap to upwards of $450.  My most carried knife is my Chris Reeve Sebenza 21.  It cost $410 and worth every penny.  All of my knives are tools and get used no matter how much they cost.  After years carrying in NJ I have yet to have an issue with LEO.  If your not doing anything illegal you should be fine.  I dont flash it around it just stays clipped to my front pocket until I need it then it goes right back.  When I first started collecting I had my safe queens but they are really no fun....enjoy that knife you just spent a ton of money on.  They cost alot because of the quality of materials and workmanship....they deserve to be used.

I believe discretion, as with most things, is the key here. Personally, I don't carry a pocket knife with a visible clip showing. No need to call to attention to what should be a personal freedom, the right to carry a tool that is used for a multitude of purposes, such as ... eating an apple or a pear, opening bubble packages when purchasing various items from stores, just in case I need to cut a seat belt. It is also the most important survival tool one can have for get-home bags, etc.. A sharp edge is a fundamental and basic tool that is used for many things. And, although I have a variety of choices, often I choose approx. a $20-30 dollar knife to carry, as I don't want to lose it or have a more valuable one taken, etc. Actually, I usually carry two sharp-edged tools. I have a mini multi-tool that comes in quite handy for a variety of reasons and a smallish 3-4 inch blade folder that can do jus about anything I would need it for in an urban environment. And, as a scouting parent, I often utilize more bush craft style full tang knives when camping, etc..

 

As usual, NJ has no respect for the individual and his freedoms and property. Any LEO that knowingly confiscates and/or charges an otherwise law-abiding citizen for a knife offense for no reason is just a POS and will eventually get what he or she deserves.

 

What really frustrates me is that I cannot carry my primary survival tool when traveling, flying, etc., and I have had blades taken from my checked-in luggage, probably by the thugs that work in Newark terminals to sell on Ebay, etc.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
