You made a knife out of breast milk and cheese?! You, sir, are very skilled.
 
So... how does the breast cheese taste???

Edit:
"I dehydrated breast milk out of our deep freezer from our 2 kids and mixed it with epoxy and opal glitter"

Ohhhhh, I see. I thought you made a knife specifially for breat milk cheese.

I think a few people did. It’s a cheese knife. It’s a cheese knife for regular store bought cheese. It has breast milk that I dehydrated and made into powder that I mixed with epoxy to fill the stainless tubing.

Thanks for adding something meaningful to the thread!

seriously, I think that was a thoughtful gift, and I feel bad I went for the pun instead of taking it more seriously. Great work.

🙄 unbelievably unsupportive and utterly meaningless feedback.

Sorry, C Colton Hampton . Maybe next time try dehydrated milk from cows- I think this audience might be better equipped to deal with the fats and proteins of animals.
It won't be as meaningful to your wife, but at least you might get more meaningful feedback here.

...But if I was you, I'd use dried and powdered placenta next time just to see if you could get these people to take more time out of their day to use >4 characters to react and respond.

Again, great job on the knife and I think that's a very sentimental gift.
 
Knife looks fine, and too bad it couldn't have been left at that. But a public post to strangers with details that are both unnecessary for one to appreciate the knife, and of such an intimate nature is beyond propriety or prudence in my opinion. Some information should remain private. Hence "TMI", and my expression of agreement with elde66 in the face of your criticism of him for having the guts to say it in the first place. You don't share that opinion. We get it. But obviously yours is not the only one.

Is that right, eh? That is actually the definition of trolling. But I digress...

You do digress, David Mary David Mary . Let the knife be judged in the quality of the build. Everyone who comes in here knows what they’re getting, so the “gutsy” TMI comments kind of sound like hollow excuses to bash something.

you wouldn’t roll up on a knitting thread just to tell them you don’t like knitting, would you?
 
"TMI" is hardly a "bash", and I would speak plainly and politely what I believe is true, and let others feel however they wish. There is nothing inherently private or intimate about knitting. An opinion other than yours has been expressed and defended. Just leave it alone.
 
C Colton Hampton You really asked for this kind of response by sharing with literally the whole world what should have been kept private, and intimate and special by being a secret for your wife alone, and maybe revealed to the kids one day when they can appreciate it. And you are the first person to use the word "gross". If you want to engage with those whose opinions differ from your own, see above for the words private, intimate and beyond propriety in order to be able to do so with honesty. If you really want to explore the fundamental differences in our opinions I am happy to go into as much detail as you would like.

And for the record, just to get it out of the way, I do think the knife itself looks fantastic, despite the awkward public description drawing attention away from the aesthetics of the knife itself and into the private and intimate meaning that I feel should be hidden within it and shared only with those to whom it bears said meaning. Analogy: Husband and wife have a bunch of friends and family over for dinner to celebrate their anniversary. Obviously they will also have their own private and special celebratory activities as well. How much detail do you think is proper for them to give about the special private part of their celebration to their dinner guests? My answer: none.

I guess I didn’t realize some people think breast milk is gross? Didn’t we all ingest it for months of our lives?

I was thinking the same thing. Nursing a child is only weird if you make it weird. Making a knife using breast milk is only weird if you make it weird... just don't make eye contact when you hand the knife to your buddy for him to check it out.

Breast milk is such a huge part of human civilization that Jesus talks about it in 1 Peter 2:2 as an analogy to how his disciples should desire the Word of God. And if breast milk is a weird and intimate thing, just think about how people go milking cows... in front of other cows! And then we mix it with Ovaltine and drink it.

I would think it'd have been weirder if you had mixed her hair and dried skin flakes into the epoxy, but apparently my "weird content" compass is out of whack. Seriously though, I think that's a great knife and a great idea- I'm not sure how you came up with it, but it's very creative. That's the most aggressive-looking cheese knife I've ever seen.

That would be an odd thing to bring up unless there was a knife being made somehow in the process, and then curiosity would, indeed, get the better of me. However, I don't know why anyone would want to hear about two people sitting on the couch watching reruns of "The Office", or how someone would include it in a romantic commemorative knife.
 
madcap_magician madcap_magician did not say nursing a child is weird. I do agree with him that making a knife with the product thereof is weird at the very least. I clearly didn't "make it that way" because he thought so independently of me. Maybe we think it is weird for different reasons. I gave mine.

This is not the place to initiate religious discussion, there is a place for that in the PA. I will briefly answer that the proposed analogy of the desire for the Word with breastmilk only strengthens the proposition I made regarding its intimacy. And your analogy of humans and cows ignores the fundamental difference between humans and cows, namely the dignity inherent in human nature, which is far above brute beasts. Several citations from the Book you have decided to introduce to this discussion could be given (if this were the place to prolong a peripherally religious discussion) which express exactly that, so even your human/cow analogy fails to overcome the objection.

David Mary David Mary i see you don’t understand a good ol’ light hearted joke, either. I’m not sure what your intention is anymore, but you’ve made it clear you disapprove of the subject, and that’s fine. It’s seriously detracting from the completely reasonable thread, so unless you want to discuss the knife further, you might find one of those threads in PA to keep you busy.
 
My intention now is to call out the logical fallacy used against me. After your failed analogies were amply rebutted, you imply that the lack of understanding is mine because you were "only joking". It's cute, but transparent.

Your continuous engagement on this, and incessant opposition in this thread to everyone who thinks the point in question is weird, etc., is also detracting from the thread, in case you forgot to look in the mirror. I was content to leave my dissent at four characters (i.e. "100%"), then you posted more "just to see if you could get these people to take more time out of their day to use >4 characters to react and respond", after you directly address me and challenged my position on it. And you keep challenging what I say (joking or not, and it seems you missed the lesson in class that explains tone doesn't carry over well when reading text, and that there are visual aids to help it along ;) :)). Stop responding and, poof, I will have nothing further to say.
