Knives In The Pews

Post by RobesonsRme.com »

Obviously, a take-off on Knives In The News.

But, what do you carry to church?

Your regular EDC or do you have a special Sunday-Go-To-Meeting or Vest Pocket Knife?

Lately, today included, I've been carrying a single blade lockblade folder gifted to me by an AAPK member.

Sometimes, I carry this Robeson 742089 four blade pearl-handled Senator that has covered backsprings.

Often, I will carry the most recent purchase. It's a bonding ritual.

Today I had this one. Guess it was fitting for a Memorial Day service.

I carry this little rough black Tested XX 06267 to church every Sunday. Also a gift from an AAPK member. ::super_happy::

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.

For me it's whatever is in my pocket at the time.

Very fine Robeson pearl 4 blade Senator ! And big enough to carve your initials in the pew ahead of you.

More times than not I'm carrying my Canal Street congress knife, but occasionally I switch it up for one of the other knives in my EDC rotation. Regardless of what I'm packing I tend to take it out of my pocket and use it like a worry stone during the sermon. My wife will always give me the stink eye when I do this. I just like to hold a good knife in my hands when I'm sitting there and I'm gonna fondle a good knife when I get the opportunity!

Terrific idea for a thread, Charlie !

Sadly I don't attend a regular service anywhere 😕
but if I did, the knife would probably be chosen like any other day .. .. ..

On a shelf in a bookcase in the living room I keep a small collection of penknives and "gentle-men's" knives, each in its own hand made leather slip. Each Sunday in what has become almost a ritual, I select a knife from there to take to church, usually a small Robeson or Case peanut, but lately more often a little 1940s Queen with worn jigged bone scales. Like Phil. I begin worrying them in my hand as the sermon gets long (My wife also gives me a sideways look).
This is the only use the collection of small knives sees. I am in jeans the rest of the week with an old barlow in my pocket.

I do carry different knives, but always try to make it one that looks good and is what I judge to be of above average quality. A few examples:

My knife in the pew at this time is a pretty little pocket worn Case TB62028 that came my way almost 6 years ago:

These little fellers sent it to me with the help of their mother:

The knife is practical for Sunday carry, meaningful for me when I pick it up because of who gave it to me.

I don’t get to sit in the pews, but I always have a good knife in the pulpit with me. Yesterday it was a Camillus 72, but usually it’s whatever edc has caught my eye that morning. Unless, that is, I have a new one that I need to show dad. Lol.

While in the pulpit I often reach into my pocket for my pocket knife. Lol. I don’t actually take it out of my pocket, yet. Lol

Thanks everyone for responding.

Surely, we have more church-goers here.

This is not one I carry to church each Sunday, but instead is one that was given out as a Father's Day gift to each father who was in church this morning.
It is an inexpensive knife, but I appreciate the thought, and I believe the message!
