Or he would want to know where you got your blades so he could get some for himself.

Which reminds me of the time I was out with a friend and he ran his little 55 Chevy through the gears, up until the policeman done pulled him over.  And while one of them was reading my friend the riot act and writing him a ticket, the other fellow was chatting with me and trying to interest me in a Chrysler Hemi that he had for sale.  Crazy things.

Move to Texas. You can publicly carry a two-handed broad sword if you want to now.

Don't know about Jack (although I am betting he does... :lol sign) but I always have my Sqian Dubh as well as my dirk. I would feel undressed w/o it.
