i think I did this for about two weeks after I went to camp as a kid for one summer, also around the same time I saw some old movie where shirley temple meets Lincoln and he eats an apple this way.

I carry a knife now to stab fuckers with.

is it true that everyone in europe carries theie own hand-crafted knife

Is this anything like everyone in England only getting one spoon for their life?

firstly, it is classic.

second, this personal steak knives thing is one of the greatest things i have ever read on ilx.

third: i think it's more of a familiarity thing than a showing off thing.

the pocket knife thing seems silly to me. yeah, you're tough, you have a weapon at the ready...why not just bite into the apple, though? or use the butter knife, which generally works as well?

two years pass...

A colleague asked me for a knife, and when I said no and what do you want one for, said he wanted to eat an apple. I suggested he just bite into the apple and he looked at me like I was some sort of eccentric.

Using someone else's pocketknife is like using someone else's toothbrush.
