I carry a folding knife with a 3 inch blade. This tends to freak people out. Is that the normal reaction?

Question

It's not that much of a blade when you actually think about it.

Answer 1

Where I come from that is considered a crime

Answer 2

convinced you could carry 3 inch blade and do not favor a reason, the lock knife probably is extra frowned upon, yet when you're a artwork guy (even wearing a 2 foot machete )and would instruct it really is use for artwork then you definately have lawfull excuse to carry it. so that you'll carry round extremely a lot even if you wish. also submit to in innovations that wearing a knife isn't prohibited through regulation yet through acts which through definition require aggrement and consent to have the rigidity of regulation.

Answer 3

I think most people get a little uncomfortable around people carrying a knife like that - it's a bit bigger than someone would use to cut out newspaper clippings. I'd say lose the knife, carry small scissors.

Answer 4

i carry a leatherman that has 3 different 3-inch blades on it and i dont tell people about unless they ask but i have gotten that reaction before so it is natural depending were you are if everyone you're around carries a knife than it wont be a problem

Answer 5

They would lock you up for carrying that here in The City. That is one serious blade girl? Wassup wid dat?

you do know that odds are that who ever you attempt to use that on will most likely take it from you and then you will be in even worse trouble having provided them with a seriously dangerous weapon.

Answer 6

No big deal I have three knives in my pockets, some people just have hang ups.

(Gerber 6in tactical folder, gerber 1 1/2in mini folder with clip, and mini scissors leatherman with tiny knife)

Answer 7

it depends really. personally i carry a switchblade for protection or just normal use. its handy at many times and sometimes people freak out but that depends on them. its their problem. if they are that scared that they think your going to stab them or something then they need to get real. don't mind them too much just do your own thing. whether its for protection or just handy, its better to have something and not need it than need it and not have it. you could just not pull it out all the time but between me and my friends we all carry and its no big deal.

Answer 8

a three inch blade is very short for any knife and if peopl trip on that.......sh*t i wont ever figure that one out as that is a small small blade. They shouldnt freak out untill it gets about six inches

Answer 9

They freak, let them freak..........women especially need some sort of protection at all times.......carry it in your hand at all times when on the streets...........and be ready for anything.........when your home or at work, keep it put away.........It probably is a normal reaction if you show it off in public or are careless about it, but who gives a damn what people think..........you need to feel safe, and if thats what it takes, then, so be it..........I carry a pistol on me at all times....people see it and freak, but know what, at least I know I have protection for me and my baby!

Answer 10

The fact that you carry it would not freak me out.

If you insist on telling people about it or take it out for show and tell, that would make me consider that you could be sociopathic. That could freak me a little.

Answer 11

Depends on what you use it for. Most guys I know in my area carry a pocket knife of one kind or another, usually a Swiss Army model with a bunch of useful tools on it. Use it for lawful and understandable reasons and I see no reason for people to "freak out" over it.
