I remember middle school… maybe… 20ish years ago. Teacher was opening a package and didn’t have anything, asked “does anybody have a pocket knife?” and naturally every boy in class offered theirs, probably 6-7 in total. She got to take her pick. Somehow we all survived through graduation without stabbing each other or accidentally cutting off any fingers (least not with a pocket knife :-p)
@@jonjacobjingleheimerschmid3798 They popped me because the blade was longer than the width of my palm.... Had it not been longer, I would have gotten the same 3 days as you. 🙄
Honestly, it is only people who don't handle knives that get cut by them, when they finally start handling one. Been using a knife since I was 3 and I've never cut myself. Point the edge away from yourself. It is that simple.
I grew up in the country ,22 years ago it wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary to see a few trucks in the school parking lot that had either shotguns or black powder rifles in the back window on opening day for deer
Ha, relatable. Every job I've ever had that involved cutting anything, there was an official "safety knife" and it was always useless. My first boss was cool though, he was like "Here's your official safety knife you should always have on you at all times in case the regional manager comes, and here's a regular utility knife which will actually be useful which you will hide from me at all times."
Have used those retractable knives. They are worse than useless. More dangerous than a regular one, but insurance companies love them. Probably because if retractable ones are required, and someone gets injured with a modified retractable or a regular one, they can deny the claim.
My boss gave me a issued box cutter and 10 minutes later my supervisor told me that box cutter sucks get you a better one but always keep the issued one on you just in case you need to use it Infront of the boss ... The running joke is any time anyone needs a knife we hand them the store issued box cutters we all have dozens of them because every time we get caught using our own knifes we have to have a safety meetings and everyone tells the boss those things suck and he tells us maybe we need new ones and hands everyone a new one ... Similar thing happens with glasses and gloves
I used to work in a meat processing factory where we couldnt carry our personal knives on property at all. As if we didnt have ultra sharper than razor 11 inch knives available constantly. (I'd understand if it was only on the factory floor, but even the parking lot wasnt allowed)
Bro, I'm all of them in one. I'm the Safety guy that looks at people stupid when they ask what they should do with the pocket knife they accidentally brought on site.
The fedex my father works at said it was to prevent surprise stabbings. The problem is the old man's tool pouch has foot long screwdrivers, needle nose pliers, hammers, wrenches, utility knives, and all manner of potential weaponry. They literally GIVE you things that could be used to hurt people more effectively than a pocket knife.

Used to work at a factory. Somebody got cute with our squeeze handle box cutters. So the "safety man" gathered em all up and gave us a 4 inch soft stainless steel blunt tip oyster shucking knife. Because it had the word safety in the name. Never seen so many people get hurt on dull knives. My supervisor took mine off me and gave me a razer back because he caught me sharpening the thing on the flat surface of a machine.
@@robertcherry7190 in a cooking class I took my teacher explained that dull knifes are more dangerous then sharp ones because people do see them as much of a safety risk as a sharp knife
@@lostcolonyforge5792 While your teacher was correct, they neglected the other big reason as to why dull blades are more dangerous. You have to put way more force behind a dull blade than a sharp one. Meaning the likelihood of slipping and hurting someone goes way up.
A buddy and I worked at a warehouse that banned knives while we were reserves. We were able to talk the lead supervisor and safety guy into keeping them because if shit went down we would be "armed". The only reason this worked is a couple years before we worked there, a guy flew off the handle and came to work with a shotgun. Nobody was hurt, but it definitely shook them though.
I share your derision at the notion that carrying a knife makes you 'armed'. I mean, it's better than nothing but if someone walks in with a gun that knife ain't worth shit.
@@studentofsmith Oh, absolutely not. Even if someone came in with a machete. The chances of us killing them without them killing one of us would have been iffy. They were either idiots, or figured we'd keep them busy long enough to call the police.

I always carried a Bowie knife growing up. Granted I lived in middle of nowhere and I actually used it for hunting, fishing, opening boxes, carving wood, camping, cutting firewood, opening concrete bags...etc. That little five inch straight blade was quicker to pull out and had enough meat for all my tasks never cut myself with it but it managed a tour to Afghanistan and tears of farm and outdoors work.
Always have a knife on me, within reach and one or two stashed in my truck but my favorite is my cheap survival knife with a hallow handle that holds a 20 gauge shotgun shell to counter balance it
I can bet that this safety man is the cause of more than half of all the work place accidents. Ricky was up on a ladder, safety man appeared and made Ricky fall, now he wants to ban pocket knives and all of a sudden Roscoe cuts himself. The safety man is an accident magnet.
I used to work for Hitachi in the late 90s. We had a safety guy who refused to let us put both feet on any platform that didn't have one of those ansi stickers they put on ladders. That included some machines with built in catwalks with safety railings etc. He once stood and stared at me for hours while I strained to reach what I was working on just to make sure I never took both feet off the ladder at the same time. No surprise my back was killing me the next day. This was the same self righteous moron who wanted to fire a guy for putting a band aid on a minor cut. Safety man's reasoning was that the guy with the band aid hadn't been trained to do it and allowed himself to come into contact with blood. Nevermind, it was the dude's own blood and his body contains more than a gallon of the stuff. People like him get people killed, They cry wolf over every tiny thing to the point people disregard the legitimate concerns.
Bruh, I remember people getting all itchy in their seats when the psychology professor needed a knife to open a package, so without thinking I offered mine and the way people looked at me you'd think I'd pulled out a gun. Teacher had to straight up reassure the class that I was about the only one in the classroom he actually trusted with a knife. I loved that class. Had a classmate straight up named Max Stoner, and on first day roll call he called out "Stoner" and I'm not kidding when I say that half the class snapped their head up and looked at him like "how did you know"
Went back to college at the age of 50. The "kids" around me about had a conniption when I pulled out a pocket knife to sharpen a pencil for math class. BUT...by the end of the 2nd week, people were asking to borrow it.

We had box cutters at work. Worked fine there for 20-odd years. One guy was cutting boxes one day. These boxes are at arms length and face level. Somehow he managed to stick this knife up his nostril and split it open. For that, they decided to ban knives. This was in a facility that handles scalpels and needles.
4 tools I carry every day at work and can't live without. Flashlight, pen, pocket screwdriver, and a knife. In a pinch the screwdriver can be used to open things but you can't make it a full day without a knife at some point. Had a boss try to pull the "no weapons at work" bs in reference to my knife. I very gently explained to him that my knife was the least of his problems with weapons at work and if he really wanted to enforce that policy he was gonna need a whole new shop of guys. lol
@@davidamoritz Breast pocket had my pen/sharpie, notebook, screwdriver, pressure gauge and core puller and a one time a pack of cigarettes lmao my knife was in clipped in my front pocket
when I was a student at the local tech college, I'd go around every semester getting all the leftist tards to sign a petition to force security to enforce the "no weapons on campus" policy, just so I could fuck with the Karen in charge of Security and try to get her to take the hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, chef's knives and other weapons that have a history of accounting for more murders than guns did that were on campus for the Carpentry, Auto Mechanic, and Culinary Arts programs And no, that little sticker on the door did NOT stop me from carrying my EDC pistol on campus
I use high powered laser weaponry to cut zip ties in places a knife can't reach (unless you mount it like a spear), I've even used it while working on a computer and the zip ties were sandwiched between electrical parts holding on the coolant hoses, so got out my laser blaster and sawed through them. That's SOOOO much more dangerous than using a .22 to quickly slice all the hay bale twine in a few taps (or saw down a small Christmas tree), I can't imagine how boring you guys must have it to chop down trees or open packages (you can saw through tape at 1200 fps)

Had that sort of conversation a few times. " You can't have that pocket knife out in public" - My answer is "I am a farmer now do you want to try and take this knife off me?" Roscoe is saying what we all think so GO ROSCOE
I live in Ohio, and we recently passed Constitutional Carry. I've never been hassled, at work or elsewhere for carrying a knife. Funny how that works, when you can carry a gun openly or concealed without a "permit"!
I grew up working on a cattle farm feeding everything from the chickens to cows goats and horses. I also grew up hunting. My knife means a lot to me and I always have three on me. I carry a large case stockman out of tradition, Victorinox Tinker (used to be grandpa's old boker boy scout camp knife), and finally either a fixed blade like my mora basic or one of my folders like a ZT 0562ti, Spyderco shaman/PM2 or Benchmade 940. I have long ago learned how to be safe with any of my knives and frankly hate safety utility knives because most of the time you need a more robust blade and I have had safety blades break on me potentially causing more issues.
Every carpenter, electrician, plumber, elevator mechanic, locksmith or other tradesman in Sweden carries a Mora knife throughout the day. We would have it no other way. You're supposed to leave it in the car when going to lunch but almost noone does.
@Dutch Vanderbilt well effectively I really just use two myself. I may carry the large stockman, but again it's out of habit and tradition. My victorinox and main folder does everything I need and is overkill honestly since the victorinox can do it all. The fixed blade is for when I go back and help out at the parents' farm. It is much easier for me to beat the crap out of a 10 dollar mora then a 300 dollar folder even though I'm sure any of my folders can handle it but I don't want to fix the edge afterwards. Cutting things like hay bail twine when feeding to weed eater line keeping the fencing clear in case of fire and keeping the fence presentable. I tried a pliers based multi tool but outside of working at the parents, my day to day don't require it and is just to much. I do have a leatherman wave and OHT that I'll take when I go to work at my parents, especially for working with things like the weedeater and setting up electric fencing, though.
As a fellow knife nut, it saddens me that I only carry 2 on average. My everyday carry is my Fixed blade True knife on a horizontal sheath on my back, and a Kershaw assisted open in my front left pocket. But for church, I only have my pocket one, no belt knife
I work retail and I refuse to use the provided boxcutters. The first one they handed me didn't cut at all, I look at it and realize that I own butter sharper than what they handed me, went to get a replacement blade for it, Every blade in the box was rusted and/or chipped. "Ok, I'm sticking to the the multitool then" I cut myself with the boxes they have me opening far more often than I have ever cut myself with one of my own knives.
In my old workplace I was essentially known as the safety guy. Ladder checks? Me. Utility knife left with the blade out, I’m already fixing it before anyone can notice. I had a brown-noser running to the manager telling her I wasn’t being safe by putting my feet between the support planks on a pallet, worried the plank I put my foot on would snap and I’d get hurt. The manager came by, checked out the situation, and essentially told him “He is perfectly safe and knows what he’s doing. He’s smaller and very evidently weighs less and I’ve seen him test the wood he stands on to make sure its stable. Don’t waste my time coming over here to check on him unless he actually gets hurt.” It was euphoric seeing a competent manager, haven’t seen one since I moved out.
That sigh of defeat at the end! lol. He is right about never having just one knife. I don't know any of my coworkers who only have one knife on them at any point in time. Most of us even keep backup blades on us for the "safe knifes" that the company gives us to use for when the blade breaks.
And this is how Walmart/sams club is. You have to use theirs safety cutters to open boxes while stocking. Problem is these safety cutters don’t even cut paper. Busted out my pocket knife and started stocking the cooler. Third pallet in a manager came in and about had a heart attack because I wasn’t using an approved knife. This safety guy is the epitome of Walmart management
Had something similar happen when I took my dog to the vet. She was trying to open this package of medicine but couldn't. So I offered up my pocket knife and she acted like I'd threatened her with it.
@@brettfoster6453 yeah, those were good. They've been replaced with some derpy plastic thing with a tiny metal nub you're supposed to use to open boxes. I quit Walmart not long after that.
Bein’ from the South, I have never - and I mean _never_ - heard an employer of any job site OR their underlings try to tell the guys they can’t carry their knives. Hell, they never even _ask_ if anyone’s carrying knives. Usually because most folks carry them as tools first and weapons as a last resort.
Back when I worked as a heavy equipment operator I worked with an old timer who carried his military issued KBAR to every job site even in city limits lmao
They told me at one job I wasn't allowed to carry a knife because it was considered a dangerous weapon. Then I pulled out my every day carry and said they can fire me as soon as they find their balls. In the meantime I'm going to keep doing my job to the high standards I set for myself. Oddly enough they never did find their balls.

I had to take my 80 year old mom to the courthouse a while back. The x-ray machine showed 3 knives in her purse. The police officer and security guard looked at me like... I said, don't look at me, I left my 5 in the car and almost fell down walking in cause my balance was off. Mom was pissed that she had to give them up, and had to wait for me to take them out to the car.
I was in Alaska about 10-15 years ago and I went in some type of Federal building (I think it was a courthouse). I told them about my leatherman, they said "that's not a weapon, that's a tool", and that was that.
5? High 5. I carry 4 on me almost everyday. Often 5, sometimes 6. I used to carry a plier multi tool, but went 6+mo not needing it, so it is now in my car bag. Each knife has it's own purpose, blade shape, and metal. And i carry a sharpener and oil in my car bag.
My dad and my grandpa (my mom's dad) drilled into me that any man worth his salt should carry a pocket knife at all times. You never know when you'll need it! It comes in handy in a pinch. Can confirm
I appreciate workplaces that have that rule but don't enforce it. Basically "If you get injured it's your own damn fault and you probably won't get workmans comp" I appreciate more the places that don't give a shit.

I have worked in a hardware store for 32 years, and have used many knives, and have settled on the Milwaukee folding utility knife as the best. Push button opening, easy blade change, small enough to fit in the tiny pockets of the company vest I have to wear. Man, how great would it be to have pockets big enough to carry what I want to carry?
@@colt2110 not 100%. I'm a knife guy, carry one or two daily. Have carried knives since I was 8 lol. I've sharpened a butter knife to shaving sharp, and keep all of mine keen. If you handed me your knife I'd be respectful and wouldn't roll the edge or whatnot. But I agree, you hand 98% of non knife people (who haven't spend hours laboring to have a good edge on their tool) and they will fuck up the edge if you let them lol
I have carried a pocket knife since about 7th grade just about every day (carrying a pocket knife was allowed in school back in the day). I use it often and have spares at home and in my car for if one gets lost or broken. Never hurt anyone and at worst I suffered a very small cut or two. Meanwhile the safety department at a plant I worked at got mad people were using the massive roll door instead of the man door to edit the building. So they enforced the policy that the man door must be used if there is one. First week a lady from the office walked out the man door, slipped on the untreated ice outside the door and broke her back. The door also would freeze shut and now instead of walking out the roll door in a way any forktrucks could see you, you were popping out in front of them.
I had one plant manager at a food manufacturing plant that won't let anyone open boxes with the provided "safety" retractable knives because a few people managed to cut themselves. What's really funny is that I've used Xact-O knives long before I started working there and never had problems. The "safety" knife rule was lifted when he left.
I got news for you safety man. I EDC a Kershaw in my right pocket, a Take Down in my left, a Stiletto in my right boot and a 45 1911A1 appendix carry. I was asked once by a helper who was I scared of? I answered "nobody" !!!

@@rayzerot There is a huge difference between "being afraid" and "being prepared"! If the thought of someone carrying several knives and a pistol scares you, I'd be more concerned about you.

I've had customers tell my boss they were 'uncomfortable' with me carrying two knives on their property (A EDC 4" Kershaw folder and a retractable utility knife), to which he replied, "Are you comfortable with him carrying a hammer? Or a screwdriver? How about a drill? Or a sawzall?" The customer said all those things were fine, so he told them "Well he could do a lot more damage with any one of those things than a little pocket knife if he wanted to. Don't make him want to by complaining about what tools he's using." Apparently, the horrified look on their face was priceless, from what he told me. I'll admit I can be a little intimidating at times, but I always try to be friendly and make them as comfortable as possible while doing my job. I leave my gun in my car for this very reason. It makes people uncomfortable, even though I feel uncomfortable not having it.
Our safety team came up with the knife rule a few months ago. I went from keeping in my pocket to carrying it on my side. I told I would open carry from now on. This was after I told them to stop quoting osha to me. Because they can tell me how the book says I should do my job. BUT CANT DO MY JOB! Never heard anything else from them.
I carry a flip knife on me every day, but I always exchange it in my tool box for a swing open box cutter at the start of my shift. The main reason being I don’t want to dull the blades on my own knives, when my company is required to buy those 100 packs of replacement blades for box cutters.
I like how the most unbelievable thing in this video is not the jfk conspiracy. (Because that is 100% real) and it is that Rickie has enough self control not to blow up and instead let Roscoe do it
1989 I worked for Peter Kiewit Sons. They gave out safety dollars and you could save them up and buy things they had. I choose a nice Buck folding blade knife. I still have it to this day. Man how this world has changed.
Had someone at work complain that I had a knife. My boss asked me about it I told them I had 4 knives. Pocket knife, I typically use for cutting food or clean stuff. Utility style knife for anything damaging to the knife blade. A multi-tool which has a knife I really don't use. and the store supplied box cutter. They said nothing and walked away.

Ya, I was always told we lost money on that job. They always hired me back to lose more money for them. A couple of them companies was still losing money 35 years later. I always carried a knife for safety around the world. As a Union Ironworker , my first safety meeting was being given by some limp di## . I was new to the trade but not man hood. Anyway the Ironworker boss showed up and said what's the problem with a bunch os%@$;. The Iron boss knot down the safety man and we all laughed and went to work. The Iron boss was my dad . That was 1973 still a man's world , with hard money jobs. It's a different world now ,but I liked the wild days and wild men , some died some left with broken bodies. I been living off my pension for over 15 years. It's good to be old and have a little money. Those hard labor days and a ice cold beer at the end of a day was heaven. My dad's last words, hard labor makes good beer, he was a good dad, with steel gray eyes that didn't laugh.
a place my brother used to work at had "safe" knives that were actually just CHEAP knives branded as safe, more people got hurt because of those stupid things than the actual dangerous equipment they were required to work with!
The last 5 seconds remind me of every single time my wife tells me not to do something because I'm going to hurt myself. The messed up part is once I do hurt myself she shows no sympathy AT ALL she just gives me that look and says "mmhmmm". Every married man knows what look I'm talking about.
This is hilarious, I'm a safety guy and it seems the companies with the most knife related incidents are the ones that don't allow employees to use their own knives lol. I'm also a knife guy so I'd rather use my own. 😆
I'm a contractor 45 years old. Been in building trades over 25 years. Took gf to hospital for back pain in Syracuse ny. The security wanted to take my pocket utility knife before allowing me to sit in waiting room with her. I told him to pound salt, kick rocks. This little knife is like my belt and always have it on me and said the little wooden podium your standing at is more of a weapon than this little pocket knife you cannot even see. I sat in my truck and waited. Rochester ny hospitals no such security actions in place.
Had this conversation like this once. Was gushing blood and the super walks up "oh you finally cut yourself on your knife?" I replied "No, actually, I dropped the so called 'safe' electric chainsaw on my hand while trying to plug it in, but you can try and take that away too, after I plug it in. Go ahead. " He immediately waved his hands, said "fair enough", and very promptly took two steps back.
i carry two utility knives with me every day. a normal utility knife that i use on every thing and a safety knife i use to trick my supervisor into thinking i use the dam thing. all the safety knives i have used have been arguably more dangerous than normal utility knives. i have found that the build quality on them seem quite a bit worse than a standard utility knife. i think it probably has something to do with most of them being spring loaded. but man they brake so easily. i was using one once where the spring had come loose or something and the blade would not retract, me not paying attention automatically thought the blade had retracted, yeah i managed to stab myself in thigh trying to put it back in my pocket. whoops. haven't used one since.
We had to use those self retracting knife's on the job. After a few weeks of using them one of our guys went home and used a regular one and forgot it didn't retract automatically and stuck his self in the leg. Six stitches later. Well that's that.
Worked on drilling rig for years the company banned pocket knives and gave us surgical scissors which someone cut the tip of there finger off. Just like guns it’s not guns that kill people it’s people.

I used to work in a large aircraft manufacturer that pulled the same shit. Didn't go over very well since anyone of us could simply walk over to the shear, lop off a piece of steel, spend a couple minutes on the grinder and produce a samurai sword in a couple minutes. Stupid.
I remember working for Caterpillar back in the early 00’s and they switched to the “safety” box cutters over the regular locking type. We had in the first month several serious lacerations after the switch. We ended up switching back to the locking type.

@@jonjacobjingleheimerschmid3798 They popped me because the blade was longer than the width of my palm.... Had it not been longer, I would have gotten the same 3 days as you. 🙄
Honestly, it is only people who don't handle knives that get cut by them, when they finally start handling one. Been using a knife since I was 3 and I've never cut myself. Point the edge away from yourself. It is that simple.
I grew up in the country ,22 years ago it wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary to see a few trucks in the school parking lot that had either shotguns or black powder rifles in the back window on opening day for deer
Ha, relatable. Every job I've ever had that involved cutting anything, there was an official "safety knife" and it was always useless. My first boss was cool though, he was like "Here's your official safety knife you should always have on you at all times in case the regional manager comes, and here's a regular utility knife which will actually be useful which you will hide from me at all times."
Thats the way
Have used those retractable knives. They are worse than useless. More dangerous than a regular one, but insurance companies love them. Probably because if retractable ones are required, and someone gets injured with a modified retractable or a regular one, they can deny the claim.
A box cutter is worse
that there is a good boss
My boss gave me a issued box cutter and 10 minutes later my supervisor told me that box cutter sucks get you a better one but always keep the issued one on you just in case you need to use it Infront of the boss ... The running joke is any time anyone needs a knife we hand them the store issued box cutters we all have dozens of them because every time we get caught using our own knifes we have to have a safety meetings and everyone tells the boss those things suck and he tells us maybe we need new ones and hands everyone a new one ... Similar thing happens with glasses and gloves
Imagine being trusted around a table saw, but not a pocket knife with a 3 1/2" blade
Aye imagine being trusted with a tank but cant have a oven in your barracks room thats army
My woods teacher did that.
I used to work in a meat processing factory where we couldnt carry our personal knives on property at all. As if we didnt have ultra sharper than razor 11 inch knives available constantly. (I'd understand if it was only on the factory floor, but even the parking lot wasnt allowed)
Yeah, but it's the Idiot who doesn't carry a knife that always gets stitches

The fedex my father works at said it was to prevent surprise stabbings. The problem is the old man's tool pouch has foot long screwdrivers, needle nose pliers, hammers, wrenches, utility knives, and all manner of potential weaponry. They literally GIVE you things that could be used to hurt people more effectively than a pocket knife.

ironically a screwdriver is far more deadly to be stabbed by than any pocket knife because it doesnt seal up and is difficult to repair from what ive been told by my aunt who did 20 years as an A&E nurse

Used to work at a factory. Somebody got cute with our squeeze handle box cutters. So the "safety man" gathered em all up and gave us a 4 inch soft stainless steel blunt tip oyster shucking knife. Because it had the word safety in the name. Never seen so many people get hurt on dull knives.
My supervisor took mine off me and gave me a razer back because he caught me sharpening the thing on the flat surface of a machine.
Dull tools are a bigger cause of cuts than most people know.
@@robertcherry7190 ain't that the truth. They wouldn't hear me. It took people getting hurt.
@@robertcherry7190 in a cooking class I took my teacher explained that dull knifes are more dangerous then sharp ones because people do see them as much of a safety risk as a sharp knife
@@lostcolonyforge5792 While your teacher was correct, they neglected the other big reason as to why dull blades are more dangerous. You have to put way more force behind a dull blade than a sharp one. Meaning the likelihood of slipping and hurting someone goes way up.
@@senounatsuru6453 And if you do cut yourself, it's not going to be a clean cut.
A buddy and I worked at a warehouse that banned knives while we were reserves. We were able to talk the lead supervisor and safety guy into keeping them because if shit went down we would be "armed". The only reason this worked is a couple years before we worked there, a guy flew off the handle and came to work with a shotgun. Nobody was hurt, but it definitely shook them though.
I share your derision at the notion that carrying a knife makes you 'armed'. I mean, it's better than nothing but if someone walks in with a gun that knife ain't worth shit.
@@studentofsmith Oh, absolutely not. Even if someone came in with a machete. The chances of us killing them without them killing one of us would have been iffy. They were either idiots, or figured we'd keep them busy long enough to call the police.

I always carried a Bowie knife growing up. Granted I lived in middle of nowhere and I actually used it for hunting, fishing, opening boxes, carving wood, camping, cutting firewood, opening concrete bags...etc. That little five inch straight blade was quicker to pull out and had enough meat for all my tasks never cut myself with it but it managed a tour to Afghanistan and tears of farm and outdoors work.
ah the good old days when men were men and liberals were all girls.
I honestly don't know how people go through their day without a knife. Never leave home without it
Always keep a knife within arms reach!!!
Always have a knife on me, within reach and one or two stashed in my truck but my favorite is my cheap survival knife with a hallow handle that holds a 20 gauge shotgun shell to counter balance it
easy, just never need one on me... though I do have the kitchen knives but that's really it ...

I can bet that this safety man is the cause of more than half of all the work place accidents.
Ricky was up on a ladder, safety man appeared and made Ricky fall, now he wants to ban pocket knives and all of a sudden Roscoe cuts himself.
The safety man is an accident magnet.
Thats every safety man in any industry.
Those who go looking for trouble tend to find it.
I used to work for Hitachi in the late 90s. We had a safety guy who refused to let us put both feet on any platform that didn't have one of those ansi stickers they put on ladders. That included some machines with built in catwalks with safety railings etc. He once stood and stared at me for hours while I strained to reach what I was working on just to make sure I never took both feet off the ladder at the same time. No surprise my back was killing me the next day.
This was the same self righteous moron who wanted to fire a guy for putting a band aid on a minor cut. Safety man's reasoning was that the guy with the band aid hadn't been trained to do it and allowed himself to come into contact with blood. Nevermind, it was the dude's own blood and his body contains more than a gallon of the stuff.
People like him get people killed, They cry wolf over every tiny thing to the point people disregard the legitimate concerns.
I still remember when the safety people at kraft made our production lines safer. Alot of people started getting hurt after that.
It's the reason he became a safety man is because everywhere he goes something unsafe happens and he needed to fix it.
"Jumpstart a Kenworth."
THAT is going in my tool box.

Bruh, I remember people getting all itchy in their seats when the psychology professor needed a knife to open a package, so without thinking I offered mine and the way people looked at me you'd think I'd pulled out a gun. Teacher had to straight up reassure the class that I was about the only one in the classroom he actually trusted with a knife.
I loved that class. Had a classmate straight up named Max Stoner, and on first day roll call he called out "Stoner" and I'm not kidding when I say that half the class snapped their head up and looked at him like "how did you know"
Yeah… psych classes have some of the most “interesting” students in them.
Went back to college at the age of 50. The "kids" around me about had a conniption when I pulled out a pocket knife to sharpen a pencil for math class.
BUT...by the end of the 2nd week, people were asking to borrow it.

We had box cutters at work. Worked fine there for 20-odd years. One guy was cutting boxes one day. These boxes are at arms length and face level. Somehow he managed to stick this knife up his nostril and split it open. For that, they decided to ban knives.
This was in a facility that handles scalpels and needles.
4 tools I carry every day at work and can't live without. Flashlight, pen, pocket screwdriver, and a knife. In a pinch the screwdriver can be used to open things but you can't make it a full day without a knife at some point. Had a boss try to pull the "no weapons at work" bs in reference to my knife. I very gently explained to him that my knife was the least of his problems with weapons at work and if he really wanted to enforce that policy he was gonna need a whole new shop of guys. lol
Should’ve told him anything including the flashlight or the pen can be used as weapon lmfao 😂

when I was a student at the local tech college, I'd go around every semester getting all the leftist tards to sign a petition to force security to enforce the "no weapons on campus" policy, just so I could fuck with the Karen in charge of Security and try to get her to take the hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, chef's knives and other weapons that have a history of accounting for more murders than guns did that were on campus for the Carpentry, Auto Mechanic, and Culinary Arts programs
And no, that little sticker on the door did NOT stop me from carrying my EDC pistol on campus
I use high powered laser weaponry to cut zip ties in places a knife can't reach (unless you mount it like a spear), I've even used it while working on a computer and the zip ties were sandwiched between electrical parts holding on the coolant hoses, so got out my laser blaster and sawed through them.
That's SOOOO much more dangerous than using a .22 to quickly slice all the hay bale twine in a few taps (or saw down a small Christmas tree), I can't imagine how boring you guys must have it to chop down trees or open packages (you can saw through tape at 1200 fps)

I grew up working on a cattle farm feeding everything from the chickens to cows goats and horses. I also grew up hunting. My knife means a lot to me and I always have three on me. I carry a large case stockman out of tradition, Victorinox Tinker (used to be grandpa's old boker boy scout camp knife), and finally either a fixed blade like my mora basic or one of my folders like a ZT 0562ti, Spyderco shaman/PM2 or Benchmade 940. I have long ago learned how to be safe with any of my knives and frankly hate safety utility knives because most of the time you need a more robust blade and I have had safety blades break on me potentially causing more issues.
Every carpenter, electrician, plumber, elevator mechanic, locksmith or other tradesman in Sweden carries a Mora knife throughout the day. We would have it no other way. You're supposed to leave it in the car when going to lunch but almost noone does.
I really only carry two multi-tools on me. They do what I need them to and if I need a fixed blade I'll just go into my bag.
@Dutch Vanderbilt well effectively I really just use two myself. I may carry the large stockman, but again it's out of habit and tradition. My victorinox and main folder does everything I need and is overkill honestly since the victorinox can do it all. The fixed blade is for when I go back and help out at the parents' farm. It is much easier for me to beat the crap out of a 10 dollar mora then a 300 dollar folder even though I'm sure any of my folders can handle it but I don't want to fix the edge afterwards. Cutting things like hay bail twine when feeding to weed eater line keeping the fencing clear in case of fire and keeping the fence presentable. I tried a pliers based multi tool but outside of working at the parents, my day to day don't require it and is just to much. I do have a leatherman wave and OHT that I'll take when I go to work at my parents, especially for working with things like the weedeater and setting up electric fencing, though.

But for church, I only have my pocket one, no belt knife
*Three Knife Style.🔪🔪🔪"
I always carry 3 blades!!! My Leatherman Surge and an Opinel no. 10 for food related tasks!!!
So true..sometimes up to five...lol😅
I carry my husky box cutter, my spring assist, a butterfly, and a switch at all times.

I work retail and I refuse to use the provided boxcutters. The first one they handed me didn't cut at all, I look at it and realize that I own butter sharper than what they handed me, went to get a replacement blade for it, Every blade in the box was rusted and/or chipped. "Ok, I'm sticking to the the multitool then" I cut myself with the boxes they have me opening far more often than I have ever cut myself with one of my own knives.
In my old workplace I was essentially known as the safety guy. Ladder checks? Me. Utility knife left with the blade out, I’m already fixing it before anyone can notice. I had a brown-noser running to the manager telling her I wasn’t being safe by putting my feet between the support planks on a pallet, worried the plank I put my foot on would snap and I’d get hurt. The manager came by, checked out the situation, and essentially told him “He is perfectly safe and knows what he’s doing. He’s smaller and very evidently weighs less and I’ve seen him test the wood he stands on to make sure its stable. Don’t waste my time coming over here to check on him unless he actually gets hurt.” It was euphoric seeing a competent manager, haven’t seen one since I moved out.
changing my job title to politician cause i'll be f'ing useless was priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That sigh of defeat at the end! lol. He is right about never having just one knife. I don't know any of my coworkers who only have one knife on them at any point in time. Most of us even keep backup blades on us for the "safe knifes" that the company gives us to use for when the blade breaks.
Because a sharp metal object flying through the air in unexpected and unknown directions is totally safe... I've seen so many of those blades break
I got more paper cuts from the cardboard boxes at my previous job than I have with a pocket knife, but they never got rid of the cardboard boxes.
And this is how Walmart/sams club is. You have to use theirs safety cutters to open boxes while stocking. Problem is these safety cutters don’t even cut paper. Busted out my pocket knife and started stocking the cooler. Third pallet in a manager came in and about had a heart attack because I wasn’t using an approved knife. This safety guy is the epitome of Walmart management
Those were the best box cutters I've used. holster grip deploy and easily changed blade. just change the blade daily and its great. easycut 2000

I have carried a pocket knife since about 7th grade just about every day (carrying a pocket knife was allowed in school back in the day). I use it often and have spares at home and in my car for if one gets lost or broken. Never hurt anyone and at worst I suffered a very small cut or two.
Meanwhile the safety department at a plant I worked at got mad people were using the massive roll door instead of the man door to edit the building. So they enforced the policy that the man door must be used if there is one. First week a lady from the office walked out the man door, slipped on the untreated ice outside the door and broke her back. The door also would freeze shut and now instead of walking out the roll door in a way any forktrucks could see you, you were popping out in front of them.
I had one plant manager at a food manufacturing plant that won't let anyone open boxes with the provided "safety" retractable knives because a few people managed to cut themselves.

I've had customers tell my boss they were 'uncomfortable' with me carrying two knives on their property (A EDC 4" Kershaw folder and a retractable utility knife), to which he replied, "Are you comfortable with him carrying a hammer? Or a screwdriver? How about a drill? Or a sawzall?" The customer said all those things were fine, so he told them "Well he could do a lot more damage with any one of those things than a little pocket knife if he wanted to. Don't make him want to by complaining about what tools he's using." Apparently, the horrified look on their face was priceless, from what he told me. I'll admit I can be a little intimidating at times, but I always try to be friendly and make them as comfortable as possible while doing my job. I leave my gun in my car for this very reason. It makes people uncomfortable, even though I feel uncomfortable not having it.

1989 I worked for Peter Kiewit Sons. They gave out safety dollars and you could save them up and buy things they had. I choose a nice Buck folding blade knife. I still have it to this day. Man how this world has changed.
I remember when they implemented this at a facility I worked at. More injuries after retractable knives handed out.
Had someone at work complain that I had a knife. My boss asked me about it I told them I had 4 knives. Pocket knife, I typically use for cutting food or clean stuff. Utility style knife for anything damaging to the knife blade. A multi-tool which has a knife I really don't use. and the store supplied box cutter. They said nothing and walked away.

No one knows how missing a day of work got us a week ahead after we were behind but there it was...
Ya, I was always told we lost money on that job. They always hired me back to lose more money for them. A couple of them companies was still losing money 35 years later. I always carried a knife for safety around the world. As a Union Ironworker , my first safety meeting was being given by some limp di## . I was new to the trade but not man hood. Anyway the Ironworker boss showed up and said what's the problem with a bunch os%@$;. The Iron boss knot down the safety man and we all laughed and went to work. The Iron boss was my dad . That was 1973 still a man's world , with hard money jobs. It's a different world now ,but I liked the wild days and wild men , some died some left with broken bodies. I been living off my pension for over 15 years. It's good to be old and have a little money. Those hard labor days and a ice cold beer at the end of a day was heaven. My dad's last words, hard labor makes good beer, he was a good dad, with steel gray eyes that didn't laugh.
"Accept the truth, son. You'll be happier when you do..." bahahaha great line
a place my brother used to work at had "safe" knives that were actually just CHEAP knives branded as safe, more people got hurt because of those stupid things than the actual dangerous equipment they were required to work with!
The last 5 seconds remind me of every single time my wife tells me not to do something because I'm going to hurt myself. The messed up part is once I do hurt myself she shows no sympathy AT ALL she just gives me that look and says "mmhmmm". Every married man knows what look I'm talking about.
This is hilarious, I'm a safety guy and it seems the companies with the most knife related incidents are the ones that don't allow employees to use their own knives lol. I'm also a knife guy so I'd rather use my own. 😆
It's almost like people learn when given an opportunity to think for themselves or something.
I already knew that was coming lol I'd say hell no ur not getting it. Roscoe is right tho about his knife and the style of it
This shit is so funny! Glad YT brought you up on my feed!
I'm a contractor 45 years old. Been in building trades over 25 years.
Took gf to hospital for back pain in Syracuse ny. The security wanted to take my pocket utility knife before allowing me to sit in waiting room with her.
I told him to pound salt, kick rocks.
This little knife is like my belt and always have it on me and said the little wooden podium your standing at is more of a weapon than this little pocket knife you cannot even see. I sat in my truck and waited. Rochester ny hospitals no such security actions in place.
Had this conversation like this once. Was gushing blood and the super walks up "oh you finally cut yourself on your knife?" I replied "No, actually, I dropped the so called 'safe' electric chainsaw on my hand while trying to plug it in, but you can try and take that away too, after I plug it in. Go ahead. " He immediately waved his hands, said "fair enough", and very promptly took two steps back.
Is that a Case Trapperlock? Roscoe has good taste in knives 👌 though I'm not so sure about the "Jack Knife 3000" lol
I work in a mall as a cashier and I ALWAYS have a knife in my pocket.
I've watched this 20+ times still funny as ever😂
The government was the last person to tell me "it's for your safety" 🤔 you give up something they just take more. Team Roscoe all day!
i carry two utility knives with me every day. a normal utility knife that i use on every thing and a safety knife i use to trick my supervisor into thinking i use the dam thing. all the safety knives i have used have been arguably more dangerous than normal utility knives. i have found that the build quality on them seem quite a bit worse than a standard utility knife. i think it probably has something to do with most of them being spring loaded. but man they brake so easily. i was using one once where the spring had come loose or something and the blade would not retract, me not paying attention automatically thought the blade had retracted, yeah i managed to stab myself in thigh trying to put it back in my pocket. whoops. haven't used one since.
break*
We had to use those self retracting knife's on the job. After a few weeks of using them one of our guys went home and used a regular one and forgot it didn't retract automatically and stuck his self in the leg. Six stitches later. Well that's that.
Worked on drilling rig for years the company banned pocket knives and gave us surgical scissors which someone cut the tip of there finger off. Just like guns it’s not guns that kill people it’s people.
I love when people make these funny skits
Yo my man , my boys at work got me watching ur video , and YO !!! . all ur videos got me dieing laughing 😂🤣 , keep them videos coming my man . Love them
I used to work in a large aircraft manufacturer that pulled the same shit. Didn't go over very well since anyone of us could simply walk over to the shear, lop off a piece of steel, spend a couple minutes on the grinder and produce a samurai sword in a couple minutes. Stupid.
I remember working for Caterpillar back in the early 00’s and they switched to the “safety” box cutters over the regular locking type. We had in the first month several serious lacerations after the switch. We ended up switching back to the locking type.
😂😂😂❤ take it down a couple notches You're having a heart attack😂😂
Parade route manager for Kennedy!!! Man you guys are my hero.
I love how people go “you will be more safe when you don’t have a gun, knife, or anything else to defend yourself!”
Gold line right there....."you'd be changing my job title to politician because i fucking be useless" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
