Lady employee behind the knife display counter at the sporting goods shop says to me, when I ask to look at a knife: "Why do people buy knives...is there a secret group of knife fighters?"
 
I was helping a friend move a few months ago, and was using my small Sebenza to cut some thick poly for wrapping a couch up.

Friend's brother walks in the room, sees the knife, and blurts out "Holy $*#& what is that a dagger"

I didn't even know what to say. I just laughed.

Good thing it wasn't a Spyderco Military or, heaven forbid, a fixed blade :p
 
Riding public transportation wearing full camo a fishing hat and had a weird twitch in my eye from a poor nights sleep. I unsheath my busse battle mistress to clean under my fingernails. Old lady sitting across from me turns to her friend and says 'such a nice boy!'

I hand him my nice sharp ka-bar and say "I think this will work better". He hands it back and says "that's to clean and sharp, I don't want to mess it up, this will work fine" 10 minutes hee still hacking away. I took away the wood piece and finished in a couple quick cuts and tell him the knife is clean and sharp because I clean and sharen it and because it started out as a good knife. He was amazed.

At work a little while ago dunno if i posted this already but here it goes,
Coworker to other coworker: You should check out AL's knife hes got a bad A$$ one in his pocket (it was an emerson cqc-7)
coworker to me: Cool , can I check it out?
Me: Yea just don't cut anything and be careful its sharp
Coworker: E-M-E-R-S-O-N, never heard of it , you need to check out gerber they make the best knives you can buy on the market right now
me: Gimme my damn knife back , and before you go around telling folks that gerber is the best of the best google emerson, Zero tolerance and spyderco , then get back to me.
Coworker: what did that E-M-E-R-S-O-N cost?
me: bought a buck fifty
coworker : WHAT?! Who would pay THAT for a knife
Me: You get what you pay for brother have a good day...

Funny thing is I'm his boss and hes a temporary associate i kept dwelling on the gerber comment and put him on the hardest job in the plant for a few days,just because of his stupidity.

You sound like a real jack*ss, friend. Very petty. I've been a temp before, and in my state, they are almost always abused with zero chance of being hired into a company. They are effectively kept out of the loop by greedy companies and bosses like yourself, though some of them are often more qualified for your job than you are. Sorry for the rant, but I just thought that people on BF were a little more considerate than what you've shown.
 
Although my father means well and lets me buy all the knives i want as long as its with my money, one of his that make me want to laugh is "you only need one knife" or when i tell him his henkels kitchen knives arent sharp at all he tells me "i sharpen then once or twice a year". And then there is others who say, "what do you use a knife for?" and my step moms favorite, "they will arrest you!" As i pull out a Vantage Force Select or Sodbuster. To which i laugh and recite the NYS knife laws.
 
I was visiting my mom a while back and I had a bowie knife hanging on my belt and she said, "You look like a low life with that knife hanging on your waist".
 
I read this thread a while back, and had an experience today that made me think of it. I used my benchmade rift to open my friends blister pack encased Wally World purchase today. He looks at me as I pull it out and asked " Why do you always carry a knife on you. Are you afraid of someone attacking you?" I handed him his purchase and told him " I could never get the hang of opening stuff with rocks and sticks." He, completely missing my humor, then asks "Why don't you just use your fingers or your teeth?" I asked him back "Why didn't you?" He thought about that for a minute, didn't say anything. He then got out of the car and went back inside. He returned his purchase, we went to the loca A/N surplus, where he used the money from the return to buy himself a griptilian instead :).
 
^Nice job, you converted a NKP! The more we do that, the better. Best to treat them with respect, most of the time they aren't stupid, their just caugh off guard or uneducated on the matter.
 
That has to be my number 1 pet peeve, when people assume knives are weapons. Or when people think you have psychological problems for being a knife knut.
Had my mom tell me that im scaring everyone around me with my knife obsession.
Made me feel guilty...
But then I looked at my K55.
What was I thinking about again?
:D
 
A repost from the "Clever Knife Sayings?" thread:

A simple pocket knife can be more appealing and usable than a bristling Victorinox...

- actor Stephen Fry.

Jeeves is seldom wrong!

I don't know if Fry is a strictly non-knife person, I just consider him of a lover of gadgets in general.

I've seen a pic someplace of a mini-grip with a black Hello Kitty logo on it... it actually looked pretty cool, I wouldn't mind gifting it to my sister.
