Suppressors Word to the wise on Benchmade Infidel

[DeltaP]

Great little knife but a word to the wise so this won't happen to you.

As you know,(maybe not) this spring blade comes out the front of the knife not the side. A while back I had the occasion to slip it into my pocket as I did not want the clip to show on the outside of the pocket. Unbeknown to me at the time a dime is just the right size to slip right up into the opening where the blade comes out. I guess by now you have figured out the point of the story. The next time I had it out I pressed the release slide and was surprised to see the blade come out about an inch and a half before it jammed up tighter than hell. No going back in or out. Now what do you do? Can't put it back in your pocket and sure don't want to walk around with it in your hand waltzing around the mall. Fortunately I had a shopping bag to put it until I got home and could pry the dime out and that sucker was in tight. Bottom line, if putting it all the way into your pocket, don't have anything else in the same pocket.

Well guess thats better than a story that involved a warm red liquid appearing on the leg or a finger...

Good heads up post.

I bet that was a bit of a WTF moment.

Or why were you playing with it in a store? Good heads up though. Glad you didn't really need it to save your hiney.

You beat me to that question,I was about to ask the same question.

I don't usually make it a habit of pulling out my automatic knife or carry pistol in public unless there is a reason.A damned good one.

LOL....Everything has a price. It's currently resting comfortably in the safe waiting for a new owner.

Dont act like youve never been in the mall and had the urge to stab someone/something... We've all been there.

Long story but short version is I was on the way to a function with wife and she decided she didn't like the pants I was wearing. Stopped at the store and got another pair and was going to cut the tags off so I could wear them out of the store. (Yes I had paid for them first.) I hadn't thought about it before but I guess this was actually all my wife's fault. Most of the dumb ass things I do are always someone elses fault and this is just another example.

Good to know. I don't think I would ever carry it where it wasn't clipped on to my pocket, but if I ever had to, I'll have to keep that in mind.

Alright I'll buy that for a dollar. The urge to stab people is understandable too.
