That's not a Knife, It's a tool box.

If I was fabulously rich, I'd get one.

arbilad · Head Chef

Oh, come one, Jason, just give up food for a few months and you'll have enough money for one.

salesortonscom · Wise and Revered Master

That's an idea. I'll propose it to the family and put it to a vote.

Mahonri · Senior Bucketkeeper

too huge.

Perhaps for the tool or tackle box.

PollyAnna · Senior Bucketkeeper

Totally non-functional IMO... It's only good for show.

Son1 has one like you carry at work, mirk... Don't particularly care for knives either... but they are very useful when camping, etc... hubby used to make me keep a very small one with me at all times, and I was glad more than once when there was a need for one... then policy at work changed so my knife stays at home and every time I need it, I don't have it... I forget to use it even when I could at home...

At my company no item that could be mistaken for a weapon can even be kept in your car, that includes knives under 4 in long... and toys... It seems I am in High School, again...

Like they would even know...

In my own case... I don't care enough to fight about it, but the policy burns hubby up... Evidently it's held up in court at least once...

DaKnife · Senior Member

Yep, it's held up in court at least once, here in Utah no less. At the old AOL Call center in Ogden. Though that was for firearms, I'm not sure such a ruling would extend to such a broad generically worded policy. Especially since just about any object can be used as a weapon. Knives are not weapons, they can be used as such but there are many uses for knives that don't involve cutting fellow humans.

On that topic, I would not do well in todays schools, with their zero tolerance rules. From the time I really learned knife safety as a Cub scout (my parents had taught me this more casually/indirectly all my life), I often had a pocket knife on me. And from about jr. High on I always have at least one knife on me, except when entering a location where I will be screened for one of course.

Oh... the rule is VERY specific... Specifically the policy mentions toy knives and guns as well well as other specifics. Hubby has a big problem with the "NO pocket knives/no exceptions..." part, since pocket knives are generally under the 4 inch rule that a lot of work places use.

For instance we have to cut birthday cakes with plastic knives and we cannot have an "serrated utensils"... It is all so dumb really... Not even our maintenance crews can carry a pocket knife. I think they made an exception for those "combo/manly tools". Hubby bought me one of those to carry in my purse, but it is so heavy!
