Them pictures of a baby holding a benchmade knife damn near make me want to hurl!

Who in thier right fffn mind lets a baby play with a knife?

I see no humor in this what so ever.


What is wrong with your head people, i couldn't care less if it was unsharpened or dulled, that is totally stupid.

My wife seen over my shoulder as i wrote this, be glad she can't get at you friend.
 
It does not at all look like any toy.

I would like to see a replica of a snody, a real toy.

Maybe not enough sleep, but i dont buy it AM.

I had no problem with the 10 year old holding them but a maybe 6 month old at best, holding an playing with an open serrated snody i believe it was, scared the wizz out of me on sight this morning.

I believe by ten,that a little understanding an respect for the knife could be in place already with some guidance, same with many of our children an mine too, but prior to 1 year of age, come on.

If theres a rea BM Snody toy knife so real looking with the BM butterfly on the blade, shiny axis lock, and damn real looking serrations, i would like to see it.

A definate apoligy would be coming from me, If it was a toy.

To peeps just tuning in, without the pics, i may look like an ass, they had to be seen, open knife, grasped by the infant with two hands , one on blade end.
Their gone now, so i believe that this was a real BM.

I'm a little surprised by you guys, it's his kid right?

Maybe this should go to GBU or W&C?
 
Actually, HER kid, if I am not mistaken. I don't see a problem either. It's not that the kid is playing around with a knife unsupervised.
 
Odds are that lachine is a guy. You probably think that he's a woman because of the female article "la". "La chine" in French simply means China, a Chinese woman would be "la chinoise".

We aren't questioning lachine's guardian status, only that perhaps having a child so young holding something that is heavy and sharp enough to easily break skin if it falls is a little dangerous. I've never met a kid under a year old with great motor skills. I completely agree with WarRaven. I know he was obviously supervised, but the baby naturally has very short arms and I'd like to see someone holding and focusing a camera while managing to catch the knife which is falling at 9.8 meters per second per second before it stabs his/her child. If the knife was closed, that would be another issue, and (correct me if I'm wrong), but to the best of my knowledge Benchmade doesn't make a Snody trainer knife, and even if they did, it would likely not have serrations.

I also agree that this might be moved to another forum, as I don't see too much real knife discussion coming from it, but rather a debate about whether or not infants should be holding open, locked knives. I know we all love knives, and we don't agree with their bad name in society, and we'd like to see our families get interested, but there's responsibility, too. Knives do have the potential to be harmful if misused, and I don't believe that at that age any precautions can be taken. Infants take things and throw them, drop them, stick them in their mouths, slam them on themselves or other things and don't discriminate based on how sharp something is until they get hurt.

I would like to see a one year old kid walking on a tight-rope balancing a fish on it's nose. ;)

She wasn't balancing a fish in that picture nor was she holding an open knife. How can you comment when you never even saw the picture. I saw it and the kid was lying on a bed with the knife's blade, a half arms-length, in front of her.
 
Nordic,

I was going by WarRaven's account of the picture, I had no reason to assume it would be inaccurate. If his account was inaccurate as you claim, then perhaps there is no real issue. However, if the blade was open at all, I beleive that having an infant handling it is child endangerment and stupid.

BS

Your right out of line, bottom 2-3 pictures were of the baby holding it open in here hands.

You can ask AM, he was conversing with me about this morning, when the pictures were up.

So where do you come from saying crap,like it wasn't open,?

There was 2-3 pictures in the bottom of the 6 or so that it was wide open an grasped by the sharp edge.

If you dont know what the fug your talking about, dont weigh in with pure BS.

This is getting too weird. Whatever it was, you who saw it had your chance to respond to it and Lachine responded to your posts by deleting it.
