Would really be useful if you could expand on what you mean in your using it as AMOG tool, I have some thoughts but you have had some experience with those in the picture so I and others can get some idea how simple things have made such changes.
Like the reactions by other people etc... sounds interesting and could be educating.

Of course, women will not automatically see you as Alpha because you have a knife at your waist. The may not even notice.
What they will notice though, is if all the other guys in the set are watching you and listening attentively.
The more guys you have in a set, the more chances one guy will see your prop. More men = more effective. The guys who see the knife will freak and shut up. If another guy in the group starts getting aggressive toward you, a guy who noticed the knife will tell the aggressive guy to "shut up" just in case. He may even point out the knife thereby making the aggressive guy freak as well.

Own the men and you own the women.
Another situation where you can show yourself as alpha is the one-on-one confrontation with an alpha male who is irritated by your hitting on his girl.
Before I carried this around, guys would bump into me and I would say something like:
"Woah. Hands off the merchandise man. I don't feel that way about you, sorry."
The girl wouldn't laugh, the guy got even more pissed, and I would crash and burn.
Then came my first experiences with the knife:
AMOG gets in my face.
"Hey don't get aggressive. I wouldn't want to use this on you man."
AMOG looks at small knife and smiles, "You don't have the balls. -or- Bullshit. -or- I don't fall for this kind of shit."
Crash and burn again.
So I figured:
In a one-on-one confrontation with an alpha male. If the alpha male, does not address the prop directly, make him find out about it without you actually threatening him.
So I leave you guys with a final scenario:
AMOG: Lay off my girl. (Gets in PUA's face and slightly touches him.)
PUA: Hands off the merchandise man. You're getting my stuff messy. (Inspects individual objects on his hook for a brief second. This is enough time for the the AMOG to notice the knife.)
PUA: (Adding a dark intonation to his voice and looking the AMOG straight in the eyes.

) It took me a while to get these things together. Messing them up would really make me unhappy.
AMOG shits his pants and walks off.
HB is all: What the heck just happened?
