Wearing a boot knife
by: eric.
The boot knife adds the option of easily brandishing a knife at a moments instance more covertly then a traditional knife placement (ie knife holster, tucked into waist in the small of back) would allow. Its simple enough: the knife itself is an ordinary smallish sharp stabby knife and the holster has a boot friendly clip. The idea is, upon gauging a sufficient threat, the wearer simply needs to reach for the boot, under the guise of tying them or looking for a contact or something of the like, pull the knife, then do whatever one feels encouraged to do.
Physically it fit snuggly into my borrowed boot. I could feel its’ presence but I wouldn’t call it a physical nuisance, just an emotional one. I did have to readjust it several times while dancing so as to not lose it or worse: have it become visible. I would say that overall it detracted from my dancing experience.
One would think wearing a boot knife to be an empowering experience but I did not feel empowered. Rather I felt sketchy and weird. I’m really not a stabber but what reason does one have a boot knife if not to stab? Threaten to stab I suppose. But that seems to be the gateway to stabbing. A boot knife seems to be the ticket to stab street.

I would definitely not recommend a boot knife to anybody who doesn’t fear being stabbed. If you do fear being stabbed perhaps a boot knife would be a necessary thing. I say perhaps because I’m not sure if I’m a pacifist. I do know that I don’t want to be stabbed and have never had the urge to stab anyone.

PS: Shout out to my bro Brant (foot pictured above) whose boot knife I borrowed following his own, non-psychopathic, lead.
