car kept knives...

I've heard a few folks talking about keeping blades(usually bigger types)in their cars/trucks,so I thought I'd throw out a word of caution/advice;if you(like me)like to keep a survival style blade in the truck,consider doing as I did- I found an old ammo type crate that fit under the seat and bolted it the the floor pan,then had a strong clasp welded to the lid so I could padlock it.That protected me in two ways:if the police ever questioned my having it in the vehicle,at least it was secured in manner that showed I was'nt just wheelin' around with a blade under the seat ...and,it made it really tough for someone to steal!

Great advise! Sounds like you may have run into issues with both of those?

heh,to quote a phrase;experience is something you gain shortly after you need it!

I keep my RD9 with my tools in the cab...I hope they see the tools and associate it with them.

I only keep a Gerber multitool in my car for legal reasons...

What kind of country do you live in !

yeah,I understand that they are BRUTAL on people carrying knives over across the Pond.

I live in a country that traditionally has had no right to bear arms and has a government that concentrates on objects (guns and knives) rather than criminals using them... Pity.

Good idea with the crate and padlock however if your car crashes and you need that knife right away, having it locked like that will only delay your chance of survival.

Thats what your EDC is for!

Yep, a smallish fixed blade or folder can cut a seatbelt but it cannot pry open door or cut through the roof. There was an interesting artice few years back where one BF forumite and his buddy cut their way out through the roof of a smashed SUV. I'll post the artice sometime if I find it.

Btw, they used camp tramp.

My howling Fat could.......

it would only take you forever.

Greens - I remember that story being posted over at the Swamp; yes, he cut his way out with a Camp Tramp. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I keep a Camp Tramp in my fold-down arm rest in my truck. I don't really worry about the Law having a problem with it, as I always have my pistol along also - benefit of a CCW permit. It's a shame that Paul and others in foreign countries - including Canada, have to worry about potential problems while being law-abiding citizens.

Now, I would GLADLY have a Scrap Yard BOWIE with me in my truck, if Dan will release it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Still could do it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Not really, your car would have blown up.

Every wrecked car blows up now.......you watch too many movies! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I wonder how many quotes can fit in one thread?

You forgot to menton that we need a BOWIE! You're slackin my man.

We need a BOWIE, Dan...Dumpster Dan, are we expressing what we want enough yet?

Greens - Thanks for reminding GF to mention that we want the BOWIE! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> We don't want Dan to think we're not interested in it anymore. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Again, luckily this is not a problem in IN. I can carry any sized knife I want, anywhere, open or concealed. Nanner Nanner. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> (Yer jealous as hell, I can feel it.) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Another option might be one of those small gun safe things that have the outlines for your fingers and you “type” in the code and the door pops open. I don’t know if they make them big enough or not. I’ve also seen one they make that reads your fingerprint and pops open. I think that might be better in an emergency, because if you are in shock or something, (from stress or injury) you might not remember the “code”. It would be more expensive than an ammo can, but it would be quicker to open in an emergency.

I'm getting vertigo reading this thread <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

All those quotes kinda remind me of a topo map. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Looks like a mountain or something.

Ehh more like a mayan pyramid.

Thieves can steal my car carry knife, a 6 inch mora, if they really want it. I'm more concerned about my speakers and amps. And CAR!

It reminds me of the old Twilight Zone, or more recently "High Anxiety".

Yeah, that's what I thought. But I meant how on a topo map it shows a circle within a circle etc. to indicate increasing height.

I was agreeing with you also, that is what a mayan pyramid would look like on a topo map.

A - maz - ing !

Ouch... Now we can rejoice, we'll soon have bowies to cut our car roofs off!

Paul, I have no doubt that the BOWIES will be able to do it, but I think I'll just open the door instead! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I will nominate my truck to get the first convertable top with a Scarpper Bowie..if it comes out next......

GF post pictures!!! That will so cool (and maybe get you a discount off your next knife off Dan for the p.r. value!!!). BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE!

That was a great song by Faith NO More!

I always kind of liked 'Warpigs'! Could that be a certain forums theme tune?

You fellows lost me there!

Which part?

Beginning with -- "Faith NO More".

I guess they weren't very mainstream! They (FNM) got banned off Britains then top pop tv show after one performance and they didn't even swear or destroy anything!

Music....Tom....nothing but music..

I just didn't remember them being on the Lawrence Welk Show; maybe they were on Sing Along With Mitch - the Mitch Miller Show ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

YEEEAAHHHHHHHH, NO maybe not the Sing Along With Mitch - the Mitch Miller Show ?
...I think they were on Headbangers Ball though...if that helps!

You guys crack me up!

No, not much I'm afraid. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
