I recently read the novel jPod and watched the entire tv series. One of my favorite moments came through a question that was asked by a character. The whole scenario lasted only a few seconds and was very minor to the entire novel/series, yet it's etched into my mind now. So much so that I want to turn this into a YouTube based competition.

Here's the question that was posed in the novel:

Is there any way to hold a [large] knife and walk across a room and not look psycho?

Personally, I would define psycho, in this case as anything that makes other people think something 'not normal' is happening here. I would define a room as anything but a kitchen - since knives are commonplace.

Now, lets discuss this. I've run through many possible scenarios in my head. Nothing remotely viable has come up yet. Maybe you folks in GTP have ideas?

Lets take this to another level and put up vids of our attempts on Youtube, shall we?

Tag the videos as "GTP Sinister Knife Holding Competition"

Pictures are also acceptable if they can be used to tell the story.

Cheers,

Your friendly, neighborhood eMadman.

Warning: Please be smart. Don't run with these knives. Don't try to injure people with them. Think before you act. If you think that you or someone around you may get hurt, stop and re-evaluate your scenario. For the younger GTP'ers, I would advise getting a toy butcher knife from a dollar store.

Safety First!!

This is the jPod scene I refer to
 
I love this idea. Sounds like a fun thing. Too I could never pull it off.. I look crazy on a daily basis. I wanna see this happen though. SOMEONE DO THIS SO I CAN BE AMUSED.
 
Hold the handle and have the blade flat against the back of your forearm. Then no-one can see it.

And if you get caught, you look super sinister...

Put it in the packaging it came in and it looks like you just bought it. 👍 :lol:
 
I would pop my collar, arch my shoulders and hold the knife vertical, blade down, in front of my chest, also with a slight smirk and laughing lightly.

Isn't that how you're supposed to carry a large knife?

Emad, do you suggest we use a butcher knife or what?

That's cheating.

I think the challenge is to hold the naked knife in plain sight without looking like you actually want to use it.

You could hold the blunt edge of the blade, but then you'd just look stupid for not using the handle... hmmm....

Put on a chef uniform on and presto no more looking psycho.

This only works in a kitchen.

If you were wearing a Chef uniform, carrying a large butcher knife, walking into a bedroom. Yep. Psycho.
 
Stick the blade in an offensively large piece of cheddar. Alternatively, lay on your open hand palm up.
 
Draw some eyes on the blade, put a wig and some lipstick on it, call it Carol and pretend it's an air hostess you met in a bar.

A butcher knife qualifies as a large knife, no?

How about anything 'significantly larger' than the average steak knife?
