I know everyone here's been asked a million times by those annoying people that just dont "get it." When people see you with a blade at campfires, cookouts, parole hearings, restaurants, etc... Pretty much everywhere you go.

"Why do you have such a big knife?"
"Why do you need a knife like that?"
"What's the knife for?"
etc...:barf:

I'd like you HOGs and piglets to share your thoughts on some answers and witty comebacks for said questions. I'm interested in hearing your replies.:thumbup:
 
As soon as they ask said annoying question(s) you just give them an evil Jack Nicholson smile (here's Johnny), unsheath the knife, and say, "For times like this". ;)

Sorry, best I could do on short notice. I'm outta here.
 
Think about it this way. It is like clothinig or fashion. Some ppl like to dress Gothic, Rock n' Roll, 60's, Gap, classic, casual....etc. But you don't try to convince other with your fashion sense and try to let them dress the same you do...Do you?

So, They don't get Busse don't bother me, they r not the one using, enjoy it.
They don't like it then I get less competition on Ganzaaa :p

Love Connection to Busse should be instant, the 1st sec holding a Busse. Either you guet it or you don't.
It was NOT love of first sight for me, it was the first grip that got me DEEP.

:D

One answer to all questions:

BUSSE IS, PERHAPS, BY FAR, THE BEST KNIFE STEEL HUMAN BEING HAS EVER CREATED. IT REPRESENTED THE BEST KNIFE TECHNOLOGY BY MAN KIND.


and THAT is the reason I buy Busse. It is good for most of any cutting job. :thumbup:
 
If you don't leave you'll see why.

Because there is such a thing as a stupid question.

You carry nail clippers in that purse don't you? I don't carry mine in a purse.

'Cause that's how I roll.

I blame Porkerson.
 
tell them you shave with it. Tell them it gets too expensive buying those Gillette Mach 3 turbo refills, and that you can also split wood with it! Dual feature! :thumbup:
 
"To cut yo' stoopid azz with. Now back off!"
 
"Why do you have such a big knife?" Because I can.
"Why do you need a knife like that?" Because I don't have claws or fangs. (a nod to Sal for that one)
"What's the knife for?" Cutting, chopping, prying.....whatever I need it for.
"That knife could kill someone!" I set the knife down and ask them to demonstrate how the knife could kill someone. If they even attempt to touch it I stop them and say.....No, no, no. That would be you using the knife to kill someone. Show me how the knife, an inanimate object, could kill someone.
At this point they either get it or I give up. If they get it....great! If they don't........I've learned not to argue with an idiot; they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. :D

1- I wanted it
2- Because Busse makes the best..and I wanted this type
3- I need it to cut stuff...like most people do, and I wanted the best
 
"Why do you have such a big knife?" - cut stuff
"Why do you need a knife like that?" - cut stuff
"What's the knife for?" - cut stuff

Eventually it can become, 'To kill people who ask too many stupid questions. Any more questions?'
 
My wife has asked me why I have 20+ knives?!?!?!?!???!

I asked her why she has 50+ shoes... Nth pairs of earrings... Nth necklaces, etc...

God bless her soul, but she still didn't get it...
 
Oh this, this is just my loaner until God gets my flaming sword back to me.

or

Shut up and get out of my sight.:D

Just kidding, sort of. I try to use many of the wise responses here, but usually I'm just not feeling that nice.
 
Hmmmm.... seeing some of the responses should be fun. :D

"Why do you have such a big knife?" ... "Oh, you don't??? :confused: sucks to be you!" :D

"Why do you need a knife like that?" ... "Most of the time I don't NEED a knife like this... but when I do, it's good to know its here and I have the best." (I really like the "cuz I don't have fangs or claws"... that's a great response! :thumbup:

"What's the knife for?" ... "Cutting...what do you think it's for?" :confused:

 
There is a lot way to do this...

u can ask them properly to see their folder, knife whatever...

U HAMMER HELL OF IT!

"Ooops, You might want to consider Busse for EDC" :p

:D :D :D :D :D :thumbup:
 
To me, the answers are obvious--

"Why do you have such a big knife?" It's my "in" to talking with Amy-0.

"Why do you need a knife like that?" So Amy-0 and I can talk about something we have in common.

"What's the knife for?" Keeping Jaxx away from Amy-0 so I can get a word in edgewise!!!:p

"HELLO AMY-0, HOW YOU DOING~" ;)
 
I had just this conversation with my 1SG last year. The knife in question was a SJTAC in a Molle sheath attached to my IBA center mass. The first question he asked me was "Why do you have all those magazines, standard issue is (blank) rounds, you must have double that." To which i responded, "You can never have enough Ammo." Second he asked "Now why do you have that knife strapped to your IBA?", to which I responded, "That for when the Ammo runs out."
 
I have lived long enough to realize that someone asking you a rude, ignorant question in no way imposes any kind of obligation upon you to answer it. (Unless he is your
1SG!:D )
