Favorite Quotes from non-knife people.

I was volunteering at a swim meet and I hear my friend Mike telling some one "Go ask Ric, he always has a knife."


Ric
 
My girlfriend trying to open something yesterday: "Do you have your knife thingy?"

After I take my knife out, open it for her, and hand it back: "Why do you carry that thing? You're so dumb."

:rolleyes:
 
So I was at the hardware buying electrical supplies for the house I'm building and the lady and guy packing up my purchases started looking around for a box cutter to cut the twine with. After almost a minute with both of them looking stupid, I said "want me to cut the twine?" the guy nodded and out comes the GB and it's done. The lady says "that was scary". I didn't even give her a second glance.
 
"Great honking jungle knife"

"Titanium coating... why do you need that? Is this a switchblade? It looks like a combat knife"


My most hated:

"Are you trying to be Rambo or something?"
 
It's been mentioned a dozen times already, but the one that always bothers me is: "Why do you have that knife?"... usually accompanied by a skeptical, worried expression.

My outer response: "To cut things of course, haha. You know; string, price tags, packing tape, etc. You'd be surprised at how often you need a knife if you think about it. :p"

My inner response: "WTF kind of question is that? Think I'm gonna hurt somebody? I ought to stab you for that." :D
 
"The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence."

- Charles Bukowski
 
Probably somebody already posted this one: "That is dangerous" (whenever they see a knife, other than a kitchen knife -in the kitchen-).
 
At a new outdoors store, at the knife cabnet. After watching him struggle to close the blade of a multitool, an employee is showing me the Spyderco's....

Employee: "These knives are sick"
I show him my endura 4
Employee: "Oh you have a spider!"
Me: "Yeah......"
The employee shows me some knives and eventualy he gets to the Spyderco Police
Employee: "This ones for murduring people!:D It's for murder! LOOK! it even says police on it!!"
Me:"...:o..."
Employee: "But the gerbers MY favorite --"

At least he likes knives and took the time to show me some :p

A guy at a BBQ out in the countryside who needed to cut open a pack of wieners: "does anyone have anything sharp? Like car keys?" I hand him my (closed) Spyderco Meerkat and he says: "whoa. You brought a WEAPON?!" and then proceeds to cut the package open. And no, he couldn't close it :)
 
Showing off a knife I just picked up; Them: "What the hell are you gonna do with that?"

Me: "Shave!"

Also, the same guy said "I could chop someones head off with that!"
 
"How much did that cost? Oh, I would never spend THAT much on a knife." (Says the person wearing $300 designer jeans with holes in 'em)

"its got a butterfly on it? that's gay" about my benchmade 710

or my favorite "is it sharp?" as they run there thumb over the edge
 
Also: "Is it sharp!?" -While running thumb over edge of a brand new Spyderco PM2. Here let me do a quick paper cut demo...
And..."you are going use your knife to open that aren't you?" --No I thought we'd just sit here and not open the food at all!
 
When a friend asked me if I collected anything I said knives, to which she answered: so violent! :s
 
A common one I get is "isn't it illegal to carry that?"

My favorite dialogue is the:

"I don't understand why you have that knife on you"

10 minutes later

"Hey, can I borrow that knife you got, I can't get the straps off the copy paper."
