Ever Been Knife Dissed?

A dumb@$$ walked into my dorm room and grabbed my AG Russell Stng that was sitting on my desk. "hey man this is badass!" started throwing it around, dropped it right on the point. Scuffed the finish real bad. Oh hey, sorry bro". Little airmen and knives are a bad combo all around. Especially if they wear a blue beret. I've had my 7 inch kabar thrown at me too, I was sharpening it on the couch and got up to take a wizz. Came back and my roomate walks in, sees the knife on the couch and says hey what is this? I told you not to leave your knives here! there were more choice words than that but he threw it at me across the room. I can't leave a knife unattended with sheeple for 60 seconds to use the bathroom or they flip out that it's gonna jump up and cut them or something...

In all honesty you brought that on your self.
Don't leave knives laying around where people put their butts, and it sounds like its was not the first time either.
If you had put your knife some place safe while you were away from it, he could not have trowed it at you.
Like camping on the high way, and complain about how other people drive.

I let my family use my Spyderco Tenacious and my Benchmade 940
to cut some fruits and veggies in the kitchen. When I came home
I found them lying there in the sink with the rest of the dirty dishes
like they were tupperware or something. GAAASSSSP!!! :eek:

Any one ever get one of their knives disrespected?

No, but I don't give my knives to anyone who doesn't know how I value them. Even the cheap ones.

Had the opposite happen to me though: While over at a friend's house, my wife took my 6" Cold Steel Ti-Lite (which has a frightening edge on it) from my pants while I was taking a shower.
She needed it to prepare food, and there wasn't a decent knife in the house. She didn't even comment "Finally found a use for it." instead she just said she knew mine would be very sharp. :D
She also cleaned it up perfectly. No dishwasher involved!

Agreed. You would not do that with a gun either. At least I hope not.
 
I brought my RC3 on vacation and mainly used it in the kitchen because I knew the kitchen knives there would suck. Needless to say everyone used my knife instead of the ones in my house. It was like nails on a chalkboard listening to my brother scrape food off the cutting board holding the knife blade down perpendicular to the cutting board.... ugh... I didn't say anything because he was cooking me dinner :thumbup: It didn't take long to get it back into sharp shape!

Funny - we thought the same thing about all you baseball cap wearin' slugs ;)

I really got into knives in the AF and it was mainly due to my "little airmen in blue berets" bros.... :p

Next time put your crap away or tell people not to mess with your crap.

I agree. Let them get their own stuff to wreck.


The way I see it is; one obsessed knife idiot allows another self centered disrespectful idiot access to personal property and a prized possession and then something idiotic happens. What else would be expected to happen? The big picture is that people that do not respect personal property also do not respect the person and themselves.
 
I carry a selection of knives, some I will loan out (SAKS and the like), others I won't (customs).

I don't have many knifeknuts around me. If I hand someone a knife, the first thing they do is cut themselves.

I recently gave my daughter a pretty little Spyderco Dragonfly. I've given her other knives (Case peanut, SAK Tinker, BR Bootknife), which she carries, but she won't carry the Dragonfly. "Why don't you carry the Spydie I gave you?" "It's toooooo sharp!"

Shrug.

No one gets my knives. I only buy quality blades (i.e, not gas station cheapies) and as such, I value every one of them. I'm not going to buy a cheap one to loan either, if they aren't smart enough to buy their own P.O.S knife, i'm not doing it for them. If they want something cut, I will usually do it for them. Actually theres only one person who I would lend my knives to, and that my father. He understands how much I spend on them, and how important they are to me.
 
My wife put my carbon Mora went through the dishwasher last week. : \ Had to do some work with steel wool to get the rust off.
 
lol Sorry, no pics. I worked feverishly to get it all off. Its got a heck of a patina now. Its all good though. Its a user anyway plus it costs $10.
 
I have a totally useless POS China made $2 multitool in my bag for people who need a blade, phillips or pliers and don't carry them. What dicks.

The stuff in my pockets, including my good multitools never touches other people's hands. I can wreck my knives when I feel like it, no-one else can.

OTOH it's a non-knife friendly environment, so basically nobody even knows I'm carrying anything. You get very stealthy about your stuff, even when you have a perfectly good reason to carry and use, which is absurd, but what can you do.
 
You abandoned your knives and left them to non-knife people...I hope they forgive you...Tenacious in particular has a bad temper.:cool:

True. I love mine and beat the crapola out of it when I get the chance. Easy to sharpen and very sharp at that too. It is a great knife to lend out because of the cheapness and sharpness.
 
I've had people call me stupid for carrying a Spyderco Stretch or Delica. "Look at that tip, I'll be you can't pry worth crap with that. Plastic handles? Japan?"

Then they pull out their schrade and tell me about what an amazing knife it is at $30. :rolleyes:

I just sigh and move along, there is no winning with them. They can break their own knives, no need to abuse mine.

You seriously have people dis your Delica or Stretch? Are we talking educated people here? I wish I could remember the days when I didn't know any knife info. When prying with a knife would be alright. Though I have to guess that even years and years ago I would have known enough to not do that with a knife, folding anyway.

As educated as they come. They said those knives were looked down upon. Why would you ever need to open a knife with one hand? Or have it clipped to your pocket? Or "wave" open on the draw?

Better yet is when one estimated the cost of my FRN Stretch at $4. I told him it was worth 20 times that. :D He said that was the worst waste of money he had ever seen.
 
I've pretty much disprespected my knives during army, but everytime after using them disrespectful way, I always sharpened and oiled them as way to "apologize them" and those knives have yet to let me down ^^

letting them get wet during swamp march, having soaked them in ocean and then used them to cut bread and butter knife, using them as throwing knives, dug ground with them... But after those good sharpening, oil treatment and such good ol' loving maitenance you give your knife and your gun they won't let you down. Not even you have sometimes use knife disrespectfully.

But I am always been quite consiciouss of my knives so I don't let them be just anywhere nor I lend them to just anyone...
