Can you successfully post a comment about not using a knife without drawing flack?

A fun challenge for you all..... Can you write a short piece to justify not using a knife in an outdoors/bushcraft situation without someone picking holes is it - now remember this is tongue in cheek so give it a blast.

When I eat baked beans I use a spoon so I don't cut my mouth

Garn - give us an easy one!
Like spending a weekend in the woods without breathing!

Easy. Use an axe instead!

Machetes can work too.....or do they count as a large knife?

I was trapped in a forest 3000m up, incoming blizzard. I used my teeth to gnaw a feather stick and lit a fire by striking sparks from my toenails.

Thank goodness I never go into the woods without my teeth.

Last time I was in the woods, I decided I would no longer use my Mora to put on my Preparation H.

I know it's overused but that really did make me LOL!

Its better to hunt rabbits with a gun as they are tricky to catch with a knife

I forgot my to pack my knife. Oh well, never mind.

If you are an uncouth sort who is quite happy eating their beans off the blade of a butter-blunt knife, please don't try carrying that habit out into the woods with a good knife. I did. Tongues take a long time to heal...

Don't ask me how many layers of steel my knife has; I cant count that high.

You don't need a knife in the woods; all you need is a titanium spork...

NO!!! Just like wearing my watch, I've had one on my wrist from the age of ten and feel naked without one!!! I'm fortunate to have a job where I can carry some form of sharp every day!!!!

Never wear a wristwatch. If I really must tell the time I take a small robot with a watch in his chest that does me. Do have a model of Stonehenge with gnomen and compass in a pocket watch but sadly nobody has asked me the time when I have carried it around. When about eight I lost my penknife that had a secret trick to prevent opening down a drain so had no knife for a few weeks.

Do not panic, I found a slightly rusted one blade penknife on the ground a few weeks later. Sadly it opened normally.

Will it be pink anodized too?

I would imagine there are few bushcraft jobs that couldn't be carried out with a small quantity of explosives?
