i carry a CRKT also, m-16 model. fast, locking, and sharp as hell.
personally i dont have a moral issue with pulling a blade, under the right circumstances. such as i am being assaulted and am in fear for my safety. i dont start **** but ill finish it. much of the time though you can see that i have a blade on me, i dont hide it, i clip it in my jeans change pocket. im not profecient on the ground, if someone takes me down im looking at getting a joint broken, getting choked out, possibly strangled to death. Im not going to let some one possibly kill me if i can help it. dont start **** with me and i wont have to stab you. :D
