SpaceGhost Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Picked this thing up on woot.com for $40. Feels awesome, really solid. I needed a new utility/carry knife for work, I open a lot of boxes and things at work. My question is do you all think this is too big and scary to pass off as a work knife especially at a college campus with the knife/gun signs posted everywhere? I didn't think it was that big. The phone is a iPhone 6s+, so it's the big one for reference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I think you will be fine. Isnt the law typically 4" and under being okay? 2.5" for federal places IIRC? Id think if its at or under 4" you would be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ive carried a Buck 303 for years now at multiple businesses and no one has ever batted an eye. The more tactical and bigger a knife is, the more chance that crazy old Betty is going to be offended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Blade is 3.875. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 it's less about the blade and more about how you present yourself ie: look like a guy with a legitimate tool vs looking like a tool with a illegitimate weapon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Work carry and daily carry 2 different CRKT knives. My Work Carry is the M16 01ks Spear point. https://www.crkt.com/collection/m-16/m16-01ks-spear-point-black-stainless-steel-handle.html Daily carry is the CRKT Hootenanny. https://www.crkt.com/hootenanny.html Both are great knives however the M16 is a much better work blade. It'll take a beating and not skip a beat. The Hootenanny is much sharper and holds an edge but the blade is way to thin to use for work. I broke the previous tip cutting into some plastic and angled it too much. The M16 is a thicker blade and meant to daily use. Like stated it's all about how you use it and present when carrying.

SpaceGhost Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I just want to carry 1 knife. Had a Smith and Wesson that fell apart, so I picked this up hopefully lasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 1) Great knife for a great price. I carry Kershaws daily due to price and the fact that I've misplaced quite a few different knives in the past, including a nice, pricey, benchmade. :no: 2) Your blade length is 3.875". I currently carry a Kershaw Funxion at 3" and use to carry a blur for years at 3.4". I've literally never had anyone ask about either and I carry them clipped on my pocket in plain sight. I've also used both extensively and in front of anyone without fear of repercussion. Don't act like a fool and nobody will see a fool. A knife is a tool. If someone sees it and is threatened, tough. Ohio is fairly lenient on knife laws. Read here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 My CRKT lasted me 2 years before I sold it and could justify buying a Benchmade emmisary. Nice little knives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 You will be fine. I carry a slightly smaller gerber at work in the office and no issues. I've even opened crap with it in front of my team and no one said anything. If you don't threaten anyone with it and use it as a tool no one cares.

2 Sweet Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I bought this back in the 2000's and it's still serving me well to this day. I think it cost like $4...... http://www.stanleyimages.co.uk/CatalogImages//1403_prev.jpg ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
