Am I the only crazy one or do you guys talk to your knives as you are making them?I talk to mine like they are a beautifle woman from the first hammer blow to the final sharpening of the edge.
I don't tell them that they are supposed to protect the customer "only" anymore as I have one knife out that I swear listened to me.I fogred it on a full moon and told her that she was to protect and serve this man well and not let any one else mess with her but him.And I swear she listened,I can't remember how many times I cut myself on her,and to this day anyone that picks her up gets cut,except the man I made her for,who by the way has never been cut by her.I don't even like him to bring her to the shop to get cleaned up and sharpened anymore,as she will still bite me.
I still talk to them but watch what I say now just like I would a woman as they will bite you if you say the wrong thing.I also end up drawing first blood with just about every knife I make,just like a woman,she will take your blood with her when she leaves.
I swear the spirit in the steel is a woman and she lives.
