My cousin works up at Cabela's and he said not only do they allow you to carry a knife,they encourage all of the outfitters(employees)to carry their favorite knife.He said that one of the older guys was an ex-marine and he carried a big survival knife on his belt and it was OK.How cool is that?Imagine being able to carry your fav blade without discrimination!Instead of women and small children running away in fear when you open your swiss army knife to remove a hang nail..GASP! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> 
But meatcutter you actually use your knives at work every day. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I will always be gratefull for the lessons learned when I used to cut meat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> The only drawback and I know you can relate,every family dinner or cookout when a turkey need carving or the roast needs slicing everybodys looking for you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
