Petition to remove knives from EDC?

more_vert
Is there any support for moving knives into their own category somewhere? As an international user I follow this community for things like wallets, keychains, etc. - things I would actually carry every day. Something seems to have changed though and now it's so inundated with knives I feel like I'm going to end up on some government watchlist somewhere - not to mention targeted ad networks thinking I'm interested in knives by association. Am I alone in thinking these should be in their own category so we can avoid this?

I agree. I don't have any issue with knives being sold, but I'm not in the market for any right now and subscribe to everyday carry for other things. Despite being a member of several Drop communities, most of my daily emails from Drop are crammed with knife offerings. It's a little tedious every day to scroll past knife after knife after knife looking for items of interest. I wish Drop would put knives in a separate category so those interested in knives can enjoy a more focused experience while the rest of us don't have to constantly wade through all the knives to find the items we're looking for. Edited to add: I've kept track of my daily emails for the last 7 days. Each day, of the 25 drops included in my daily email, either 12 or 13 of the drops were knives. I think that's absurd. I won't be buying a knife from Drop, so why does it insist on devoting half of every email to knives? Edited a second time, about two months later, to add: knives were 17 of the 26 drops in my email this morning. I very nearly unsubscribed from Drop on the spot. Edited a third time, even later: 22 out of 26 this morning. Unsubscribing.

Yeah, the it makes EDC look flooded. I have never bought a knife from Drop, but that seems to be every email I get. I would love to be able to at least filter them out.

I agree 100%, but because my main interest here is knives.

Stop letting your government treat you like a child. They are supposed to represent you, not subjugate you. Every human has the natural right to protect themselves as they see fit.

Instead of removing knives from EDC why not demand you politicians change the ridiculous laws and allow you to carry a proper blade?

UncleMusketSome US states also have some idiotic laws surrounding automatics and balisongs, which really pisses me off because I want to see autos and balis on massdrop.

Brinks246example: Massachusetts allows automatic knives being carried, as long as they are 1.5 inches or less.

I agree, can knives become a separate category?

I'd be for that. All I want is knives. I don't want to sift through this other stuff that I'll never care about. It's a win-win.
