Ever Been Knife Dissed?

The only person that gets to touch my knives besides me, is the wife. She's not an idiot when it comes to knives, she still has her 1st gen Delica I gave her sooo long ago, so she's knida a knife person I guess. But she's scared of the edges I put on my knives, so she asks me to do the cutting most of the time. I have an old stainless Mora Clipper I use in the kitchen, though, and you should see the things she puts that poor knife through. In with the silverware, banging around a stainless sink basin, soaking in water for god knows how long. It makes me a little ill witnessing it all, even though it is only a Mora. But I've almost gotten past that, and now I watch with a sense of sick amazement that this little blade is still hanging in there. A sharpening every once in a while, and an occasional rescue from a really dirty situation, and it's still going strong. Think I'll let the experiment continue a bit longer. It's good to know that those blades can take a pretty good licking. But, to respond to the OP, if it needs cutting with one of my knives, then I cut it, or it don't get cut.
 
See these two beasties?

This is the kind of junk you get free when you buy a budget package of batteries or a drill bit set. Genuine 100% China made crap of the Stainless brand. I've also got a tiny little SAK that came with some other product and was so obviously a POS that I never even opened any blades.

If you want to borrow a knife or a multitool from me, this is what you get. I hope you break them. Just don't get cut. :D
 
Out camping a friend asked to use my fiskars axe to cut some fire wood. He must of got board cutting wood because when I found him he was having fun testing how well my axe worked for chopping rocks in half... yes I said ROCKS!!! ...WTF?!?

Lent my SOG to my brother-in-law so he could open a package. He didn't see anything wrong with useing my knife to hack through the metal staples that held the box together!!

The worst part is that when people like this see you get upset they look at you like YOU are crazy and say, "What? ...it's just a knife."
 
Also, I get asked to sharpen alot of other peoples kitchen knives for them, and it seems obvious that most people have no idea how to use, or take care of a knife. After I sharpen a blade for someone I allways tell them that it doesn't matter how sharp it is now, it won't stay that way if you say, use a marble counter top, or ceramic plate as a cutting board or back-stop! Also, do not just throw the knife into a steel sink when you're done. I will not even let my kitchen knives be ran through the dishwasher.

Been trying to teach/train my wife in this respect, she's picking it up slowly, but still slips up. ...oh well
 
A lot of these things that people are doing are simply from a lack ofcommon
sense. Whether you like knives or hate them, some of the actions
taken here just don't hold any logic. You don't smash rocks with a
knife, you use a hammer. You don't unlock a door with a knife, you
use... A KEY!!! What do you use to remove staples... a staple remover....
Wow.... genius.
 
I loaned a friend my leathermen supertool - the old school all metal one from about 1995. His wife took and proceeded to bend every tool on it trying to get into the apt they were locked out of. I assumed he meant to use the screwdriver, tools etc.... It was... vexing to say the least.
 
I saved up money doing hard-work for about 3 months. Lawn mowing, weed eating, and such things. Got to my goal and bought a CR Sebenza. :cool:

I brought it with me to my "GUN GUY friend" thinking he would enjoy it as much as I did. When we were outside he asked if he could quickly see it. I did as such thinking he would treat it with the amount of respect it deserved. Instead, he pried a large rock out of the dirt with it. When I received my knife back, the very fine tip was mutilated, and the upper part of the blade was dull.

JK THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN BUT HALF OF YOU JUST GOT A CHILL UP YOUR BACK!!:D

:D I just about died until I read the ending. I looked like this :eek: then this :mad: and with relief :o I remember saving up for my first sebenza, I would literally have killed if someone did that to my sebenza.
 
I wanted to show a friend my Fallkniven PXL.

I love that knife. IMO its as good as the much more expensive Chris Reeve knifes of various kinds.

In any case, I open it.

He marvels at how one hand can do that.

I show him how.

He does it a few times and the dumb grin appears on his face.

No big deal so far since he is 'only' waving it around making slight stabbing motions with the blade pointed along his index finger.

He then comments about how sharp it looks and how it has no burrs. Why would it? it was three weeks in my possession after purchase (new). I pass off the comment knowing its about the sharpest knife i ever got out of the box, bar none (except my Delica 4?).

His fatal move was when he started to cut a pizza box with it, against the grain so to speak.

I took it away from him.

Its not that the PXL can not decimate any pizza box, its that he does in with no consideration of what it might do to the edge and sharpness.

'What you afraid of?' he asked.

I walked away.

Farce.

Hahaaaa yea I know thats the type of situation where I would have to be restrained
 
I always carry a 'loaner' CV Soddie, Opinel carbon SAK, something like that. One day at work at breaktime a woman said "anyone got a knife?" I handed her my Vic Supertinker NOT my AFCK she proceeds to stick the main blade between the boards of a picnic table and starts prying like hell with the flat of the blade! While I'm staring at her in disbelief she pulls out the knife, looks at the blade says "nope" and begins stabbing like crazy between the boards at something. Finally as I'm nearing an apoplectic fit at what I'm seeing she hands me back the knife (still open). "Got him!" Smeared across the blade and partially dangling from the tip is the remains of some unfortunate spider.:eek::eek: That's when I showed her the AFCK and said "Next time use the right tool for the job or better yet live and let live."
 
When people ask you for a knife, always reply with "Why?", I won't give them my knife unless I know what they're doing, if it's something that may dull the edge a bit, I'd do it myself for them.
 
i do not care if it is a knife, cellphone, chainsaw,flashlight,or tools if you do no own it you should treat it with respect.
 
Yesterday as a matter of fact. Just got a Lahar from another member on the forum and the blade was supreme. I was showing it to a coworker who flipped it open and dropped it. Now there's a chip in the edge and I don't know how I'm gonna fix it.
