Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

I headed out on a biz trip today and decided to leave my Strider PT home. Yes, I know I could have stuck it in luggage but the problem with that is...I didn't check any bags. I carried on. Just an over night trip, but my left pocket feels empty all the same.

I RARELY forget to put a knife in my pocket. But when it's happened I had to stop everything I was doing and go get my knives. It felt like I left my arms on my dresser!

Without my EDC, I feel as naked as the day I was born.
I most likely cried that day because I had not got a pocket knife yet! Lol

I went to the doctors a few weeks ago, and I was feeling preoccupied with the visit. And you got it, I didn't put a watch on, forgot my wallet, forgot my flashlight (always in a sheath on my belt), and forgot my pocket knife. The ONLY thing I was worried about was my knife! I kept feeling my pocket almost getting anxiety attacks! LOL! 

It's like leaving one of your limbs at home.

I'd rather leave one of my limbs at home Billy!

Always have had a knife of some sort in my pocket. (Of course when I went to school, when one Could, have a pocket knife).  It’s them dam Aero Plaines. (after 911). That’s why a Mfg, should come out with a long handle, short blade, non locking folder, and dub it the, “TSA Knife”. So I don’t have to put one in ‘checked’ luggage.  Recently I bought a new fancy GEC ‘Exc Whittler’, nice, fancy, slim, so it goes in the pocket of my suite pants.  So I don’t feel  NAKED, in church. (Which today is, weddings and funerals). I know I am probably breaking all sorts of ‘rules’, but their is only ONE person that knows I have it with. (Some may guess)      Soon will come another GEC  ‘Hay’n Helper’, which I am going to cut off the blade, so it’s meets the TSA regs, they I will be ABLE to ‘carry on’ again !  Bad enough I have to wear a ‘velcro’ belt, no change in my pocket, no keys, slip on shoes, At least, I’ll have a knife on me.  It’s ‘He’, double (*hockey sticks), to sit on a Aero Plane, NAKED !

In an effort to placate my chiropracter I stopped putting my wallet in my back pocket, and sometimes I'll forget and leave the house without it...but not my EDC knife, which I have driven back home to put in my pocket, and still forgot the wallet...! (;-)  

Now that I am retired I EDC all four of these.  Without at least one of the top two, I do feel naked.  I feel uncomfortable and less able to take care of myself.  As that saying goes, if I have my pants on, they are on me.  The only time they aren't is those rare times I have to go through a metal detector.  I haven't flown in over thirty years and don't anticipate ever flying again.

Smith & Wesson Model 637 Airweight .38 Spl snub nose

Ruger LCP .380 auto

Leathman Micra

Case Mini Blackhorn

 

I feel like I'm missing a body part when I don't have a knife on me.  I keep a spare in the car just in case I should ever find myself in such a horrid situation.

LOL! That's a good idea Paul! I might do that myself!

Only one spare in the car?

I have a Frost Bowie knife and a machete in my truck.  Is that enough?
