Pocket checking strangers - pickup lines

carrying on about knives public
with a complete stranger is not
quite the norm.
always a little apprehensive
with the approach

but you know almost everyone
thinks little of you
because they don't share your
knife over enthusiasm.
suddenly you spot another guy
with a knife ?
hey...
you only live once!

favorite opening line?
"are you a member of the bladeforums?"

 
I've met a lot of guys with cool knives in the wild. I volunteered at a fire co and the one lieutenant carried either a blacked pm2 or a zt 0630. On my current dept. We had a kid for a bit that carried a carbon fiber sebenza and a older gen hinderer eklipse! Cool guy. The current chief carries a emerson commander. When initiating knife talk it's usually "Hey man, nice ____ those are really cool!" then they show it to me. (That sounded kinda wrong)
 
Based on the brewery photos he posts, Bladeforums member cnm123 cnm123 probably lives within 5 miles of my house...I keep expecting to see someone with a cool knife while I'm out and about and it will turn out to be him, but that hasn't happened yet.
 
Rest Area somewhere on the East Coast, I saw a fellow trucker with a Buck 110 sheath on his belt. No words exchaged.

Years later, at the Archery Pro Shop, Twin Falls, Idaho, a guy brought in some deer summer sausage to share with his buddies while they were using that pro shop's 20 yard indoor range. (I was there to use the range, too.)
When he wemt to cut it ... nun of them had a knife!
I loaned him what I was carrying that day (Rough Rider RR1569 moose) to cut the summer sausage. (He gave me some, too. :) ) No questions or commens about the knife. He did thank me for letting him use my knife.

ok but delivery is everyyhing.
might i suggest to practise this
response instead (as shown below)?
repeat action in front of a mirror
twice in the morning , twice before sleep
and a couple of times more when
whenever you bring out a knife

if all fails please resume your original stance. :)

Unless they've just called for a Cab: that approach will always dampen their underwear...

I usually like to complement people's knives if I notice it clipped to their pocket in the next urinal. "Nice knife."

Be sure to look down for an uncomfortably long period and then look back up into his eyes with a straight face. If he responds, just leave, leaving a trail of your unfinished business. Anything less and folks would think you’re being weird.

I did have a conversation about knives with a stranger once. There was a guy at a town fair with a knife booth, so instead of looking at the tenth table selling candles I popped over to see what was exciting in the world of small town fair knife booths these days. The answer was cheesy and cheap novelty, with a bent toward mall ninjas.

Guy goes, “you like knives?”
“Yeah, I’m always on the look out for the next one.”
He says, “what are you carrying today?”
“A Great Eastern Cutlery Churchill”
… pause while he figures out how to follow up…
“Oh… those are nice!”

then I shouted, “You don’t know what I’m talking about!”, stabbed him to death and burned down his booth.

I might have exaggerated part of the story, but I realized it was a little boring.
