I think maybe I could get one of those in my right front pocket.

Not one of those would be my only knife for the day,
regardless of dress or occasion. The SAK might be the secondary in lfp.

Obviously the GQ article is aimed at "metrosexual" "men" who wear pants like this. Note you can't get your hands into the pockets anyway (explains why it recommends carrying the knife in the watch pocket). For a few hundred dollars you too can have a pair - holes in the knees included! ::facepalm::

I'll stick to my $30 Wranglers thank you very much. ::groove::

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

I'm torn...While some of the language in the article is kind of "big scary knife", I appreciate that there is a still a voice out there promoting that it is okay and acceptable to carry one on a daily basis. I agree that it is geared toward men and their skinny jeans. I, like most here, carry at least a couple knives, or a bigger knife than the ones shown.

Perhaps that person who carries one of those knives will decide he wants to upgrade, and will seek out different choices. Win-win.

Glen i agree it could be win-win for a few of the readers. My disagreement is that had it been written by someone who knows knives the recommended knives would be better ones. Not more expensive, but better. 99% of people cannot sharpen an edge. They need the knife to arrive with truly sharp edge. Their use will almost certainly be 'light' so a super steel for prolonged edge holding is not needed.
Knives like: Rough Rider, CRKT, SanRenMu, Spyderco, and others would be a big thrill for someone just getting into knives.
