Thank you for the laughs, you can imagine how they respond when I (the lady in the room) pull out my knife. First assumption is that yes, she is crazy

It was obvious fairy quickly that the author's native language was not English -- which unfortunately made some for some unintentionally humorous phrasing. But it's also interesting that someone in the Philippines would experience such similar knife-paranoia as Americans (& many European countries, which admittedly I'm going off more anecdote & rumor than hard fact).

I'd guess similar things are occurring in other Asian countries, especially more westernized countries (Japan, e.g.), where pre-cut portions & pre-packaged, easy-open items have made knives a lot less necessary in daily living. (Side note: I'd hypothesize that this likely contributes to the "primitivization" (my word -- trademark me!) of knives, & by extension knife carriers.)

Just the same in the UK , "surely that's not legal" or "He's carrying a knife" are the usual responses to the site of a pocket knife.

I am just always amazed when it impacts someone if we pull out a knife. I really cannot remember any group of people (ok mostly men) I have spent any significant amount of time with that DONT carry a knife. Even a good many of the bankers had a pocket knife

My answer "Nope .. as of Oct 2012 .. switchblades are legal carry in MO."

"Oh .. I didn't know that."

"That much was obvious, Ms."

At my age, I simply don't hang around people that don't carry knives. I find them boring, ignorant, and a waste of my time. (getting that way about folks that don't have anvils to some extent as well)
