I suggest you try posting minus variations of "bullshit" or "shit". It might be tough, but it will be worth it in the end. You have clearly never used one of these knives You refute me by making claims directly contrary to the video in the story being discussed. You know, the company making the product being discussed, where a protruding trigger is, with obviously little force via an index finger, actuated causing the blade to immediately swing 180 degrees at a high rate of speed. But your personal experience is fascinating nonetheless, however completely irrelevant. * If you are somehow accidentally doing this with a table edge* The context of my comment on it is that people who actually use knives as tools don't use knives made for 14 year old boys, emblazoned with names like "SWAT" by gun makers. I stand by that.

> product being discussed, where a protruding trigger is, with obviously little force via an index finger, actuated causing the blade to immediately swing 180 degrees at a high rate of speed. You were not discussing that. You were making claims about the broader category of knives saying: "No one using a knife as a tool is going to buy an assisted opening knife" (In response to someone who provided a concrete example of where such a knife may be used even!) If you are vilifying everyone that owns that general category of knife, then my experiences with another knife in that category could not be more relevant. > The context of my comment on it is that people who actually use knives as tools don't use knives made for 14 year old boys, emblazoned with names like "SWAT" by gun makers. I stand by that. You'll be glad to know then that mine is not. However you have yet to explain how gaudy aesthetics are at all relevant. What about the form of that knife do you think renders it unsuitable for practical non-violent use? > I suggest you try posting minus variations of "bullshit" or "shit". Do you prefer "crap"? I prefer "shit". I think we are done here though. I'll leave you with this, two non-scary looking assisted opening knives explicitly for hunting, fishing, and camping. One hansom, the other gaudy yet 'non-military': http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Stainless-Steel-Assisted-Opening-Wood-Handled-Leek-Hunting-Fishing-Knife-/260940822857 http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Stainless-Steel-Assisted-Opening... http://compare.ebay.com/like/150975567917?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar http://compare.ebay.com/like/150975567917?var=lv&ltyp=Al... Clearly both instruments of murder and mayhem.
