Dumb things you do with a good Traditional knife?

The last dumb thing I did with a knife was lending my Frontier lock back to my boss when he asked for it, summer of 1978 or so,he immediately broke off the tip using it as a pry bar. Nothing since then. I can learn.

It took me half an hour to sharpen that Mercator back up. But it's back in service this morning!
 
I've always had the understanding that, before marriage, what's yours is yours, and what's hers is hers. After marriage, what's yours is hers, and what's hers is STILL hers!

My Daddy told me, "Son, there are three secrets to a happy marriage: 'Yes, ma'am,' 'No ma'am,' and 'Here's my paycheck.'"

I've learned to never, ever, ever lend a knife to anyone. I always ask what they're cutting and once I know I just offer to help(which is my polite way of saying "nope I don't trust you with my knife".

Yep me too, if they're not smart enough to carry a knife themselves, they're not smart enough to be trusted with MINE :thumbsup:
 
To go along with that, Jack, are these questions:
"Did you put on your pants this morning? Then where is YOUR knife?"

I was just thinking about a thread for "dumbest things I've ever done with a knife," and found this thread. It needs some more discussion, I think.

The dumbest thing I've ever done with a knife was when I was a kid and tried sharpening a cheap wood-handled boot knife on a stone and scratched it up without even getting the edge sharp.
 
My answer was carrying a TL - 29, a knife AND a screwdriver/pry bar. For staples anyway. 300

Leaving my EXPENSIVE knives where my wife can get at them. If she asks me for a knife, I always ask her what she needs it for, then get the proper tool and do it myself, but . . . one day I walked into the dining room and she was using my $300+ custom as a screwdriver to tighten the arm on a chair! As calmly as I could, I explained to her the error of her ways, and asked why she didn't use a driver? She said this knife was right there in a drawer, so why not? :confused:
I should have asked her if I could use her Lladro figurines for pellet gun practice targets! :D
 
My second knife scar came from using a Leatherman's clip point blade to drill a new hole into a leather belt. Managed to close the blade into the back of my middle finger. I didn't close the handles back together after pulling out the blade, and I had a "hammer" grip on the handle just below the tang. When I applied pressure, the blade folding across the backs of my fingers with enough force to open me up pretty good.

Agree, not carrying one. Next best thing is watching a dog lift their leg on one of those fences :)
