      That story is entirely made up. A person basically unable to stand due to alcohol being able to grapple and perform knife work against a sober individual? 😂

      Its just fantasy masturbation.

          because ive never been around violent drunk people. 🤣

          i never said drunk people are not dangerous. I said the idea that a drunk person who admitted they could barely stand up and seeing double then goes on to tell how they managed prevent a pick pocket from stealing their knife and then attempted to stab said person is pure fantasy. welcome to the internet where people make up stories all the time.

            Facinating. Never mind that I’ve seen one trying to break into my house but fine. Alcohol is one of those things that are both a poison of the body and of the mind.

              You probably shouldn’t interact W/ people on the Internet. You lack the ability to detect and handle basic sarcasm and nonsense stories.

              Ive obviously been around violent drunk people, many times. It was sarcasm. Much like the story of the op’s magical ability to simultaneously be unable to stand up and ward off pick pockets is complete nonsense.

      Because it’s a tool I use often during the day. I might open a package with it, scrape some gasket material off of some parts, whittle a stick, de-burr a piece of metal, cut an apple or sandwich. Bunches of uses. At 5:30am this morning, I cut open a package a bacon for my breakfast with it. Why don’t you carry one?

      If I don’t have a pocket knife on me, I should probably go back home and put my pants on…

        I used to carry one, I thought <it’s ought to be useful sometime>, and it could be. But most packets are easy to open ny hands, and utilty knives become become progressively less useful as you get used to the.

        I was checking and checking granpa’s garage, I found some two heavily used pocket knives in there. Rusted, shut. I restored the without losing that ‘antique’ patina. But I could never carry these. First they’re illegal around here ~ and if you want to visit any EU city they’re not things to have on yourself ~ secondly, they’re less than ideal tools in many such cases. I like harvesting and hiking, and shears are safer to use. I understand a swiss knife, but that has limits too.

        A general advice is that one of these knives can put you in dangerous situations, like the one yoy described…

      Its a useful tool and carrying one is common practice in many parts of the US. I had it on me out of habit at the time and after this incident mostly stopped carrying one in public except when necessary.
