Guess I'll pull on a pair of shorts, jump in my prius, and see if I can't buy me a pocket knife on black friday.

Grown men shooting small bucks ticks me off too. It’s the old “I drove all this way I’m taking something home!” mentality.

I am going to grab the rifle and seek out a smallish deer to shoot, after I put my knife into my front pocket.

The biggest buck in southeast Alaska is smaller than the ones I’m complaining about

give me a couple of examples of what you use it every day for if you don't mind. I'm serious, I can't see what I'd ever use one for.

You probably won't like me much then! Deer season for me is one weekend a year. A small buck fills the freezer just as well as a big one.

I think this might be a more regional thing , when you get 1 buck tag every 5 years I can see hunting racks more

when any land owner who lets you on their property says killumall I can't drive to the store without nearly hitting 3 on the way there at 5pm

we had 50 tags in camp this last weekend 4 doe tags and a buck each

I feel no shame for shooting a 3 point , it was a good body size I was filling freezer tags , deer need to die in this location.

any dead deer is a benefit

OK who was this??

I don't get the obsession with pocket knives.
I don't carry one, haven't for decades.
I have a couple laying around where they are needed or used. For example, one in the garage where I break down boxes before we take them to the dump.
But I don't carry one. In fact I don't carry anything in my pockets at all on a daily basis. I also don't use or carry a cell phone.

I only put the wallet in my pocket when I go somewhere in the car.
I hate having stuff in my pockets.

what does one need a pocket knife for on a daily basis?

Even when I go fishing I don't have a use for a pocket knife. I carry a hemostat that can cut fishing line and also remove hooks from fishes mouths.




You all remind me of my wife, she has all sorts of junk she carries in her purse. The thing weighs about 5-10 lbs. I tease her about, I call it the samsonite.
She keeps all the stuff in there "just in case". Of course in the 40 some years we have been married she has never had the case come up that used any of the assorted junk that she carries.

when was the last time you came across a cheese cake out in the middle of no where?
Every time I have come across a cheese cake its been in close proximity to a kitchen, where there are, I don't know all sorts of instruments for cutting various food stuffs.
No need for pocket knife in a kitchen.

In my 60 some years of living I've never had to stab someone inn the throat either.

Silly meme.

Spend lots of time in the woods, I can't remember the last time I came across something "impaled and needed taking out". Did get a fishing lure in my cheek years ago while fishing alone, couldn't see it obviously so I left it there till I got back to civilization and had it removed then without a knife. Pocket Knife would of been of no use at the time.

I usually wait till I get in the house or workshop to cut something open, no need to open it right here right now.

I carry tools while fishing for cutting line and if I'm using fishing line around the house for other uses I have utility knives stored where the fishing line is stored.

Carry a container with tools used for trapping, in there is a knife. Again I don't need to cut up the rabbit right on the road where I find it, I'd toss it in the vehicle and cut it up later when needed.

All sorts of tools can be used for uses other than designed, again, if I need a punch, screwdriver or machete (don't know when the last time I needed a machete was tho) I have those tools and others in a couple of places that I take things when I need to do work on them.

Pocket knifes are useful when your in a remote place, even then if your going there to do a task take the tools with you that you most likely will need. If a knife is going to be needed take a decent knife for the purpose like filleting a fish rather than a pocket knife.But I don't need to carry a pocket knife if I'm working in the workshop or hanging around the house, or driving around in the car. all places have all sorts of other tools at hand.
