the OP needs friends who have their own knives... and perhaps some reading and cooking wouldn't hurt either! :D

Well, I'm glad you didn't really come unglued on the guy. If that happened to me today, I would have said the same thing to him as you did. I can see your point, but I don't think you are as poor as you think you are. I think you are a richly blessed young man who has a chance at a great future.

Poor to me is when you don't have a chance to be in college, or own a nice knife, or take a two week trip with your father, or a computer and the internet to talk about your friend and what he did.

Don't worry, I said the samething to my father as you did, I said I am poor. He said you are lucky to own a car, and don't use poverty or anything else as an excuse to treat people poorly. You did MUCH better than I would have at your age. You are well on your way to being a great American man.

And Doc, no they are both gone. My father died in 1979 and she died in 1976 to breast cancer, but I'm a better man for knowing them both.

I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Pan, but it's good that you take the positive path.

And regarding our poor Mr. Fallkniven - how's that commercial go? - "....... a motorcycle trip with your father - PRICELESS!" :D

Doc

I want to share something with you that my father told me when I was a young man.

My girlfriend accidently put a dent in my car and yes, like you I wasn't happy.

My father pulled me to the side and had a talk with me about "THINGS" and putting a higher value on "THINGS" than people.

He said "Never cry over anything that can't cry over you".

In the end, I don't have that car anymore and it wasn't anything great to begin with. It was just a car, and this is just a knife. Enjoy the camp fire with friends, not the knife.

I have always gone with the advice "don't lend anything you are not willing to loose".

I tend to be a bit careful about lending knives to people.

Probably be ok with the heat treat, especially if the para cord did not completely burn up. The edge would be the quickest part to reach critical temp.
 
I guess I am different, but I probably wouldn't have been too upset.
For me if the friend was upset he dropped it, I would have left it at that.
If he didn't care about dropping then I might be a little pi$$ed, because of the attitude not the possible loss

Well thank you very much, sir. I appreciate your kind words and insight. We are certainly not unglued, I'm probably going to hang out with him in a few minutes :thumbup:
And I would agree, I'm not in the least bit unfortunate. I've already had many great opportunities and experiences and I'm only 19 years old. I look forward to many more great things in the future.
I'm also very sorry to hear of your losses.
As corny as it sounds, it's good to know people like you are out there.:o

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe a Mora or something would be a decent route to go for a lender. My buddy could probably afford his own knife though lol

Anyway, thanks for the comments everyone. Whether they were insightful, comical, and/or informative, they were appreciated!
