yea, I'm from Texas.... I can openly carry any blade I want due to our knife laws being thrown out en masse ...... only laws we have atm are, nothing over 6 inches in a church, school, hospital, or courthouse..... anything else is fair game.... brass knuckles, switchblades and butterflys, spiked clubs.... hell I could openly carry a Katana into walmart to buy groceries if I wanted....
anyway.... I like these smaller ish blades to carry on my days off.... especially something with a good deep rich red handle, brass fittings, fullers, good deep fullers....
they usually get lots of questions.... with so much open carry down here now, knife folks commonly stop each other and discuss whats on each others hip, which has led to some fantastic discussions about HI and Kuks in general.... exchanged phone numbers texted pics, linked websights, done a few meet and greet / show and tells.... etc etc... made some friends
I have about 5 that I rotate thru to carry, but this one, I think especially after that brass patinas up good, will draw a lot of attention.... /shrug
its for a good cause =o) educating my fellow Texans
never carried one out yet that I didn't have someone stop me and ask about it.
