Ever had guys with knives want to borrow your knife?

[Slice-E]

The only person I let borrow my knife is my wife. I like my knives and I take care of them, and don't want to be pissed off if the person misuses my knife. If it was at a camp and I had my mora companion, I guess I would care a bit less about lending my knife. I usually just ask what they want to cut, and then cut it for them.

"Ever had guys with knives want to borrow your knife?"​

Yup, more than once. But ONLY once per guy. After my enthusiastic "Not just no, but H*ll No" response, then (as Slice-E said) I would generally just cut it for them.

To be clear, there are those to whom I would loan my knife, but they are few and far between. I loaned out my beloved axe once, only to have it returned in dreadful shape (I had to re-handle it).

Reminds me of a guy I knew, he would bum a cigarette off someone, then put it in his pack that was half full already.

Hey I know that bastid too!!!!!

My father had a cure for the ever-present cigarette bum. He'd take a pack of Picayunes, open them, and stick them in his glove box for three weeks. Then he'd take them out and put them in his shirt pocket. (His real cigarettes were stashed in his left sock.)

The bum would come, get a cigarette, light it, then turn abso-freaking-lutely green. It generally only took one of these to break the bum's habit.

As always, YMMV. Not even sure if they make Picayune cigarettes anymore.

Wait a minute is that the reason why old school cartoon characters turn green when they smoked?
