So, i bought myself a fancy American switchblade a fews years ago for christmass. It cost A LOT.
Anyway. I made a sandwich with it... See?
Nice huh? Lol.
It's legal to carry in my American state. I sometimes use it to cut up my pizza vegetables at the pizza place. Or open bags of stuff.
Switchblades are very fun and cool but they are not too practical. If they get linted (by lint in your pocket), they can fail to open. So, when you plan on being cool, you push the button and nothing happens, its annoying! And perhaps even dangerous.
Now add the need for it to constantly be super clean. So. You just get done cutting up some bloody thing, and...
Now it clogged! Crud in the springs! Blood in the crevices! You'll never be able to fully clean the thing!
Ok. So what else? How about weaknesses? Because of the various cutouts for the springs and latches, your blade is thinner! = weaker!
So. They're fucking cool. And you can look cool cutting food. But they are not good fighting or self defense knives! Sure, they CLICK! And open quickly. And seem scary. But a fixed blade is faster...
It's stupid how switchblades arr banned in places when they are actually INFERIOR KNIVES!
OK.
Where's the story?
Just this...
I tell everyone that my dad got it for me for christmass! That's the story!
My dad that doesn't give af about me@all gave me this expensive cool us made switchblade! [email protected]
Of well. I least i can make myself a nice sandwich before i clean the fuck out of it and put it away....
It's part of my knife collection. Just a fun and semi cheap cope.
I once found a dead mans knife collection in the trash in a city once... One day someone will find mine.
