I favour Omega over Rolex. You know, the old ‘do I get a Yachtmaster or Seamaster’ ? first world dilemma.
I love both.
Same in the Nordic countries where outdoors life is a huge pastime for many. It was odd to see hunting rifles and 10" bowie knives sold in the same store as football boots and bikes in my girl’s hometown in Finland - they do have wild brown and black bears in rural parts of the country, so arguably a bit more necessary.
Anybody going hunting in Scotland has to punch the animal to death now.

I once mentioned to my ex that i’d never had a pocket knife as a kid and always wanted one, meaning one of those little swiss keyring ones. My next birthday I was presented with a 4 inch Opinel.
A really cool present and a great knife, but unfortunately not exactly one you can safely carry around London.

Haha. Car.
I used to have this rad butterfly knife I used to grip boards because it was dope. But lost it in a house move.
Was exactly like this.
I had a little Supreme butterfly knife on a keyring, and it must have gone through customs twenty or thirty times over the years. I guess it doesn’t show up on the x-ray if it’s folded up.
I’d always just forget about it.
Always found the every day carry trend a bit weird. I can’t think of the last time I needed a sharp blade to do anything other than open a package or cook. Willy waving innit.
Na you just have a lot of alpha energy.
I think people with this sort of stuff are generally into video games / cosplay or are total psychos.
I’ve got an ‘edc’ knife that I use multiple times a day for poking and cutting, but my days normally involve joinery, chopping wood, fixing things, opening packages and living on a boat so I’d say it makes sense. I’d never whip it out against another person even in some extreme situation.

I did an axe throwing afternoon which someone got me as a present. Really enjoyed it. I could get down with archery, knife throwing and all that ancient martial arts stuff. It’s more carrying one on me to nip to NISA for some eggs that I don’t get. Like, having it with you at all times.

I’ve got a hatchet, splitting axe, crowbar, couple of nasty looking pruning saws, a lump hammer, bill hook, folding shovel and 10m of rope in the back of the Landy always. If I got pulled over it might look like I was going equipped for some kind of home invasion/ robbery/ kidnap kind of situation, but I just like to be prepared.
I bet the madlads over on Parler are comparing weaponry right now too.
