The thing about Knives....

Imagine a Swastika. One of the most reviled of images. (stolen from peaceful Bhuddist imagery...) That's the closest image I can think of when I contemplate the fear of the knife.

They're very in you face. Personal. And in the use as a weapon, intimate in the most seductive brutal way. You really have to be a bit psychotic to desire them as a defense. ( West Side Story Analogies aside...)

I have a few. I use them on occasion to cut fat SWO electrical cables. And I still find them scary to use after all thease years even though I've never cut my flesh with one.

In one of my old jobs as an art store manager, I carried a knife and would use it many times a day, for everything from opening boxes, cutting down cardboard to fit into the dumpster, to scoring plastic, to pry off paint can lids etc. I got really used to having one around, and I would take it everywhere. It feels a lot like suddenly finding yourself without your cell phone or car keys.

Good luck!

Thanks, going to ask her out today I think. I'm planning on spending my Wed night by going to see the new King Kong, and then having a drink at a club that does a goth/industrial night on Wed nights. I'm going to see if she wants to hang out, then tell her what my plans are and see if she's into either (or maybe both). If she's a go for either (preferably the club so we can actually hang out) then I can find out if she has a boyfriend. If she doesn't have a boyfriend, I'm grabbing her and beating off other guys with a stick! (Ew, I just said "beating off other guys")

Isn't it funny how you can always find geek girls on the internet, but never in real life?
