Casting my pearls before swine....

[geegee]

Well, not exactly swine , more like an old friend (who was in fact Best Man for my wedding). He was visiting our home tonight, after not seeing him for years. On my computer is some new desktop wallpaper, courtesy of Danish Viking (replacing the previous wallpaper from Jocke-thanks guys!). So he asks "What the heck is a Sebenza?"

I said "Here, look..." and I took out my large Stars and Stripes and handed it to him. He held it for a moment or two, I took it back, and opened it for him. Still nothing. He asks me "But what do you do with it?"

I said "It's a knife! "

"Yeah," he says, "But what do you do with it?" (let that one sink in for a moment)





"Let's go eat", I said. geegee

You only understand the need for quality tool the day you tried it.

Denmark or Texas, it's all the same to a Sebenza owner, isn't it? geegee

My favorite adventures with the knifeless are always when I am using my knife as a tool to perform work, and someone comments something along the lines of "Man what do you need such a big knife for, you use that thing to kill people or what???"

It's great to see their faces when I say "Nah, just to cut stuff with" and then produce my G27 and say "Now THIS I would use if someone needed killin'"

Gets me every time...

One of my old bosses once asked if anyone had a knife on them, when we were about to open a couple hundred or so fertilizer bags to dump in a hopper. I proceded to pull out one for him, and one for me. He looked at me frowning, and with an attitude said," why do you need TWO knives." To which I replied," I carry a spare for people who are not properly prepared for the job. Needless to say he shut up, turned red, and asked "can I please use your knife again?" several more times that day.

I recently had a friend tell me "Anything bigger than a little Swiss Army knife is ridiculous and needless". Since she's a friend I just rolled my eyes and raised an eyebrow. Anyone else would have seen a certain finger get raised as well.

Now, you've got to find the biggest Swiss army knife you can find, just to piss your friend off............
There got to be a big knife out there somewhere, maybe a Forschner/Victorinox kitchen knife?

Being a mechanic with $30,000.00 in tools I ALWAYS have one knife in my pocket usually a kershaw but I seem to also have people come up to me and want to borrow a knife for one task or another, my logic says if they don't have a knife they also probably don't know how to use a knife properly so I keep one genuine pakistani lockback with a good edge on it for a loaner to save my EDC from being used for god knows what purpose, if it comes back in close to the same shape as it left in I am pleased and if it comes back mucked up I log that borrower in my mental filing cabinet as knife ignorant and the next time suggest they buy their own knife for use.
