I have a great story about a chicken, can of Crisco. bald midget prostitute and myself.Not sure if it really works in this case though.
I stay very quiet about EDCing a SAK. People who know me well know I always carry one (or something else sharp), but they also know I hardly ever lend tools. I think one of the more important reasons for people becoming upset over the sharps we carry is a need for excerting power over others. If you can make the knife owner back down, you have won a "battle" that day. I thank it's exactly the same reason people in customer service have absurdly many stories about being treated like smurf or people coming with a ridiculously entitled air about them. They are taught they have to be "reasonable" and "positive" 24/7 while the bills pile up and the workplace become smurfier and smurfier and at the same time that smurfy job can be "downsized" at any moment. So we get people mentally similar to caged animals , they are constantly on the lookout for a chance to lash out and be the big dog, if only for a minute. Being upset over trifles or playing the victim are just as much attempts at excerting power over others as being a bully is. So, I think the correct response is the same as for animals, be firm, but not aggressive. A firm, polite response is often the best course in many matters anyway, I think...
