I already have a large collection of dull knifes <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I have about 6 stones including a nice 3 stone job that was a christmas present years ago. Never use it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I'm trying to grappel with with the variety of input to this thread. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />There seems to be people who just like really sharp knifes and they get something from carrying them - maybe size does matter. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Scissors will do almost any cutting job that a knife will - only in a much safer manner, which is why I see a distintive male/female line going here - women prefer scissors unless they need a sharp knife - men like sharp knifes. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I am a licensed contractor and a locksmith. I use chisels, sawzall, table saw, chain saw, razor knifes, drill bits, drills, etc etc to cut things with - wood and metal. All of these tools are extremely sharp and extremely dangerous unless used with caution and I had to learn to use this stuff and not get cut. I did get once or twice larning <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Oh and Ill bet my blade is bigger than yours. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The point is - I could carry a razor knife camping, or a samari sword and I wold never get cut, or an axe, BUT it took me a while and I shed some blood learning those skills.

I carry dull knifes because they can do the job, and I have a lot sharper tools at home. I NEVER cut myself, and I know that I cant get too badly cut with my 45 year old Boy scout knife cause I haven't sharpened it since I was a boy scout and cut myself badly - which is why I dragged the razor edge over a rock. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
