Frustrations unique to knife knuts

Here's my biggest frustrations. Reading forums about people scared to cut something abrasive with their knife because they spent so long sharpening it and people cutting towards themselves when using a borrowed knife. Borrow my knife and cut cardboard with staples In if I don't care I'll just sharpen it, just wish people wouldn't cut towards themselves because I'd rather not be liable for injury

Haha! Or when you go to flip your non flipper because you've been playing with one recently. Thumbing to find the back lock on your frame lock for the same reason.

My biggest frustration is when people don't know how to turn their tapatalk signature off;):p
 
for your daily EDC and utility use, you wish you hadn't bought an expensive high-vanadium powder steel knife and instead got something in carbon steel or maybe 440C or 154cm.

I've had enuf run-ins with 154cm and one famous company (not Ernie). I couldn't sharpen it; they couldn't sharpen it. Another new blade and they still couldn't sharpen it. Forget it...

lol I thought I was the only one..

- A non-knife guy colleague asks to see your knife and proceeds to flick it open with enough FORCE, that it almost flies out of his hand.. Then doesn't have a clue how to close it lol

- Someone asks to see your knife and gets cake frosting in the pivot..

- Someone asks to see your knife to open a bottle of beer.. Sorry, find a bottle opener.

Man.. I don't think I've ever met anyone in real life that has the same passion as I do in regard to knives.. I've tried to get some close friends and family into the hobby, but it never really panned out..

I've spotted guys with spydies, but I've only spotted a Benchmade once:

- Spotting a Benchmade 940 clipped to a random guys shorts at a farmers market, only to find he knows next to nothing about Benchmade or other BKC models.. [sigh lol]
 
Having friends at my house messing around my knives, acting like they're fighting off hordes of air-zombies 3 feet from me with a 18 inch machete. Un-nerving as all hell. Like having someone point a gun at you and pull the trigger going "bang bang" and saying because it's unloaded it's totally safe.:eek:

Also, I get the "Hey, gimme your knife" and then get it back marred from cutting wire or something.
 
washing machine-*clank clank clank*

"Ah crap I left my knife in my pocket again."



"Baby don't lay on the bed I've got my knives laid out"



"It's not rust, it's a patina"
 
- Drooling over an expensive knife for weeks, ordering it, then BAM ! You see a new color/material combination of this knife on Instagram, and of course, you like it better.

- Having to choose ONE knife only before going to work.
 
someone pulling out their cheap little bulk pack razor blades telling you how much better they cut and how much sharper they "have" to be just because it's a razor... lol [emoji23]

FTW! Lolololol!

My Dad once said "hey, you got your knife on ya?" I told him "sure, always.", handed it to him, turned to grab my drink, looked back to see him scraping old gasket material off a thermostat housing with my brand new anopeen Microtech Socom Elite. Ugh...

Oh well, sharpened it up good as new and back in the pocket.
 
My biggest frustration? Knife carry laws here. I wish I could just get an exception certificate. :D
 
When you hear the mail truck and hurry to the mailbox to quickly intercept packages before "she" finds out!

You start to salivate when you hear words like "titanium" "convex" "flipper" "carbon fiber".

When your wife asks.......

"Honey, what do you cut with a $400 knife?"
"Honey, why is a $400 knife better than a $50 knife?"
"Honey, do you really need another knife?"
 
Trying to explain why you "need" that $500 knife to your wife, significant other, or family member.
