Nice one - Love it

But don't they then say: "But do you really need all those tools every day  ??? "

To which, of course, the answer is: "Maybe not ...... but whichever one I need ...... I've got  :salute: ...... And look how small my toolbox is !  :tu: "

I just ask, "why don't you?" But this is nice. :)

The very same people that ask these kind of questions are those who first ask if anyone has a knife and if you hand them yours they ask why do you carry one  :facepalm:
Or when they see you using yours there are comments like "oh, that is some sharp knife". Yeah dude, because there is no reason to carry a dull piece if iron.  :pok:

A couple of days ago I uploaded a PDF to MTo, only to find out that the contents wouldn't show up. So I Googled "PDF to JPG" and found a nifty little online utility that let me do a conversion to photo file format.

'Haha, why do you carry a pocket knife?
Are you MacGyver?
You silly boyscout, what are you doing with a knife?
Do yuo really need to carry a weapon?"


Just some random questions I get about my pocket knife. I used to try to anwer them, but somewhere down the line I stopped caring.
People who find it silly won't understand even if you try to help them understand.

However, when smurf hits the fan people seem to remember the fact that I have one and suddenly I'm their best friend.
Dude! You have a knife, can I have it for a moment?
No you can't. I will take a look. But I won't hand it to them though.
I've seen one lend out SAK getting destroyed when someone put enormous torque on the caplifter/screwdriver.
The guy handed the knife back and didn't even say sorry.

The fact I carry a SAK is now generally accepted where I work. Every now and then I get asked for a screwdriver or pliers.
I try not to take it out in public, but sometimes I need to open anoying packaging on the train. Sometimes people will freak out  even though I use the small blade (he's got a KNIFE!!!). Most of the time it leads to a nice conversation.

+1 for the PDF by the way. I like it very much. I will store in on my phone and see how people react to that when I get asked again.

I've stopped listening to critics and people who make fun of me for carrying a knife, mt, and some type of weapon on me at all times possible. However, if someone asks me why I carry what I do genuinely (or even laughingly, if they haven't already decided to try to berate me about it) , I will gladly explain my position to them whether or not they agree with me.

I keep quiet about carrying a knife. I generally never lend tools and I carry a knife for the convenience of myself and those close to me, not to be helpful. That way I don't have to answer useless questions or see my precccccious mistreated by the unwashed hordes.

Still, for better people than me, the diagram was very nice.  :hatsoff:
