    I have one of these in every truck and mule...for opening feedsacks, cutting string off of haybales, whatever you need to cut

    The serrated blades are great for certain things.

    Well honestly I am not an accessory kinda guy. I have never even really wore a watch for any consistent period of time. Carrying a blade has never been a thing for me. If I was a fisherman or something, maybe, who knows.

    Stabbing is savage

    This guy had a knife.



    I've never understood necklaces and rings and watches for men. Watching football and baseball I just wonder "how is that not totally annoying?" as the stuff is bouncing all around.

    A large reason crime is going to always be viewed worse than reality is the news. More news more crime stories.. 24 hour news cycle, 24 hours of crime news.

    so Mark Sanchez was the aggressor, and got poked up in self-defense

    got sent to the hospital and then arrested in B2B L’s

    this is why I mind my business when I’m out in public

    I would never feel the need to go harass some random DoorDash or Uber Eats driver

    Himmler with his fake medals and uniform he designed when he never saw combat in the first or second war. The man that surrounded himself with real veterans like Hydrich and Muller that laughed at Himmler behind his back for his cowardice… that took his kids to tour a concentration camp after he threw up when brain matter splashed on his face… that likely met his end when discovered by US/UK soldiers hiding as a farmer… and then they beat him to death and claimed it was suicide… when there were pictures of his broken body on the ground… and no one cared enough to even contest the official story. Bad guy.

    Stephen Miller is a weird guy. According to a number of classmates, he has been hostile to Hispanics since freshman year. What a sad existence- and if he didn’t have the degree of power he has, he would be forgotten. I’ll be curious to see how his career ends.

    It is a lot safer than carrying a loaded gun and is an excellent last line of defense in close quarters.

    After our son was born my wife stopped carrying on her and replaced it with a switch blade in her purse, punch knife on her keys and a woman’s pocket knife in her pocket.

    Also in most cases the police will not detain you or give you an issue if you carry a discrete knife.

    Sanchez came at and was humbled by a 70 year old man. A lot of these older guys know they cannot move like they did in their 30’s-40’s and know their limitations, so they take precautions- knifes, sometimes training… guns. Everyone talks about being afraid to have a confrontation with an 16-20 year old out of fear of being shot - but a lot of grizzled old men will slit your throat or blast your face and claim self defense.

    I find it amusing (for lack of a better word) that the whole incident started because Sanchez got pissed that a box/delivery truck parked...in a loading dock. Where else do you want it to park?

    I can still remember going through airport security with a pocket knife. They took about two seconds to check the length of the blade, then handed it back and told me to have a nice day.

    And then flying in the smoking section with those stinky little ashtrays...

    This is when Chicago needs to stand strong but remain peaceful.

    And man, I can imagine it takes every fiber of a person in Chicago not to go off, but this is a waiting game, either the courts stop it or they wait it out when the folks don't fall for the bait and then trump can claim he "cleaned the city" and only he could have done that.......maga will clap and be happy and then it's onto the next blue city. Watching these idiots at ICE treat American's like a criminal is disheartening, firing pepper balls at a priest and laughing, shooting a lady and then lying about it......................these guys must be a mix of proud boys, KKK and the rednecks who like to act like a bully because they have nothing in their life, and there just sad pathetical men. This is like a wet dream for them
