Yeah in Oregon you gotta watch out for them damn hippies, especially in Eugene!

I have a 2003 Harley Davidson Fatboy, bought it used in 2006. First thing I did was change the oil. The oil dipstick is a dagger. I thought HD just put it in there to make it outlaw-ish. Took the bike to the shop the other day and the owner looked my bike over and said "you're not from around here are you?". I told him I'd lived here for around three years and asked why he would say that. He told me the dagger oil cap was illegal in CA and I could be arrested on a felony charge for carrying a concealed weapon. Sort of freaked me out. I'll probably change it out for a normal oil cap.

It looks something like this. View attachment 74541

Cool. Keep it as keep sake. Having it at home aint illegal.

They look cool, but all the ones I've got to play with were kinda junky. Mid grade at best. How's yours?

I'm comfortable with the limit on blade lengths currently in place.

Now hold on. You lol'd at a knife as protection, so why not allow longer knives?

Benchmade auto. Do I win?

Link to the pics or video?

(Last I checked, this wasn't the debate section, so this is the last post I'm going to make here.)

Because there's no good reason to carry around a sword, and you can still do a lot of harm with something even if it's not that effective at protecting a life.

There's nothing hypocritical about it, sorry. I think there can be a reasonable limit for knives just as there can be a reasonable limit for guns... I am not at all an advocate of an outright ban on guns, and the same with knives. Though comparing the two as you are attempting to do is ridiculous, as it's actually pretty difficult to kill somebody with a knife, and there's a good chance that an attacker will end up being the casualty even if the target is unarmed; a person with a gun just points and shoots, making it a much safer decision than attacking somebody with a knife. I know if I really wanted to kill somebody, I'd think twice if I had to do so with a knife.

You will try to make it sound absurd by demonstrating that the "limit" is arbitrary. And it may technically be so. But the thing is, I'm fine with that, because an arbitrary limit can still be effective at restricting the intended items. It may end up restricting some unintended items at the same time, but a little such collateral "damage" is fine with me, as there will still be plenty of knives/guns/widgets available for legal, legitimate use.

Kay?

I don't carry for personal protection, but this knife is my #1 tool. My grandfather made the handle, and the blade is some famous German brand, don't know the name off of the top of my head.

That looks like something some backwoods, homicidal maniac in a slasher movie horror show would be running around hacking up teenage girls with.

I like it.

But I don't like carrying fixed blades. They have a connotation to them. Looks like you're up to no good, unless you're camping or fishing or something.

Whatever. If you're going to carry a knife, for whatever reason, best to just carry a plain jane lock blade. You get stopped with that, and hey, it's just a pocket knife. Or a multi-tool, cause then you're just one of those multi-tool guys. Hey, while I got ya here, maybe you can fix my windshield wiper. It makes a scrapey noise.

But get stopped and pull out the dragon slayer demon blade with spiked knuckles and all of a sudden you're a trouble maker. Oh, what you doin with this? Opening boxes, huh? I don't think so. You got any other knives, guns or nuclear weapons on you? Anything that can stick me? Anything in the car I should know about? Lemme tell ya, if there were something in the car you should know about, I'm calling that something you should not know about.

The answer to those questions, should you need them, are, "It's not weapon grade, 10 pounds of meth and a dead hooker." They never check. Seriously. If you want to transport nuclear weapons, methamphetamines and dead hookers, just be honest about it. They'll never believe you.

This is my carry knife. Only kidding, a buddy left that in my truck after a camping trip.

I usually carry this. It's a little silver stag I got as a gift after shooting my first deer. When I dont feel like wearing a fixes blade I carry a generic gerber in my pocket. I don't really carry a knife for defense, they're just a good utility item to have.

...that's a spoon!

KRIS is a knife:

Give that back to Gandolf!

I carry a Leatherman Fuse and a Case Medium Stockman daily as tools, not protection. During hunting season I carry a Remington Big Game folder with rubberized handle and bone saw/gut hook.
