Living nightmare.

Man this thread worthless.. What a nightmare, Gf's dad put little knick on the blade.. Bahahahh..
If my Gf's dad broke my knife in half I would just chalk it up and move on.. My pride is worth much more then 100-200 dollar knife, plus is not worth the headache. I would try not to be so sensitive with a simple knife.
Time to hone in on your sharpening skills...Then you wouldn't wake up in cold sweats in your "Nightmare", every time someone put a bubu on your knife..

Knives come and go dude. You said you were thinking about marrying this girl, and unfortunately that means marrying the whole dang family. Her pop is going to be there (misusing tools) for a loooong time. So, suck it up, put a smile on and let this one slide. Probably won't be the last time he pisses you off so it's best to forget about it. I'm not a fan of my in-laws so I know what it's like...
 
Nightstand table. It was the nightstand table next to her bed. What I meant was more that it wasn't in a general living space (living room, kitchen, dining room). I would have nothing to gain by fabricator a story and making a thread about it. Please do not accuse me of lying as you do not know me.

Alright, more your speaking of these events, more I'm thinking the ol man just felt like f!#*£&\ up your knife cause

A. You defiled his precious child.
Or :D:rolleyes:
B. He saw you with a "weapon" and didn't want it in "useable condition" around his family/him.
Or 😃
C. Both. He did do it on purpose, he's got it in for you! 😲 Better watch your back man!😒:o

Or maybe the GF did it and blamed it on daddy?

Who knows.

Would just get it sharpened up and move on. I'd bet someone here will even help you out with that for free if you choose. I would but know others have better sharpening equipment than I for it.
Would really like to see how bad the knife chipped, any chance can get pics up?
 
Ask him if he knows anyone who is good at sharpening knives, as one of yours mysteriously turned up dull and nicked up.
 
I think this thread is a fake because people don't use ZT knives... ;)

Oh wait:

I hard used it so hard it hardly broke 1/16" off the tip right after this pic cutting up some aluminum tubing... Ooops. :foot: Resharpen, keep calm and carry on. :thumbup:


Ended up sawing into the steel belt of the tire a bit too; daggnabit. :thumbdn: Making some replacement snowblower impeller blades; stock one on the left as a template...

You mean your ZT knife blade didn't disintegrate after using it hard?!? I am blown away man, steels other than 154cm at 56hrc normally vaporize on contact with hard surfaces especially metal. Must be an anomaly:rolleyes:

I use my ZT's hard as well, who knew m390 could survive scraping steel and prying open a locked door. So right on man keep using her hard and putting her away wet;)

Yea, OP don't sweat the little things.. maybe it was a test to see if you have any cujones if you know what I mean. Say something to pop like "hey oldman, did you use my knife?" with a mean stare. LOL just kidding you don't sound like the mean stare kinda of guy, her dad might laugh.

Obligatory Loveless quote...

A knife is a tool, and if we don't treat our tools with a certain familiar contempt, we lose perspective. - Bob Loveless
 
This is only a test. Bring the knife back razor sharp and let him beat it again, unless you want to go back to beating it.
 
There we go, let's see those nicks, scratches and gouges so the OP knows what a knife looks like when used for more than opening letters.
 
I once had a guy tell me that when a knife gets dull he just buys another...... lol.

I used to do that, not because I couldn't sharpen but because I kept buying new knives to carry. Now that I carry in rotation I have to keep them all sharp.

Hell yeah, ZT's in general are made to be used hard (although maybe not as much with the 0450).
I've batoned firewood with my 0560 and most of the scratches and chips in the edge are from when I lent it to my dad to cut fiberglass.

Keep it in your pocket and keep your mouth shut.

Never offer up one of your good knives to him again---ever.

Get him a $4 Walmart knife--so he has his own now.
 
Hmmm, as a father of a daughter Id say you got the better end of the deal. My daughters boyfriends aren't getting their knives back.
 
Wow man, this is exactly why I read threads on BF. I know all I need to know about knives at this point... but posts like this, priceless. Man, that's wild stuff brother!

You have no idea. We're from Alabama . Wife's dad is a redneck alcoholic , she never saw him growing up much,and she wants me to go meet him she hadn't seen him for years.

So we go deep in the heart of the redneck ghetto. I see this yard with old rusty cars in the yard and no joke towels on a clothes line thay read " property of our local hospital". As we get closer I see a group lf people most in cut off blue Jean shorts and shirtless sitting in lawn chairs drinking beer in the front yard.

We pull up and I see this fat man woth a mullet that looks just like Travis tritt. Wife says that's my Dad , I reply ahh hell.

We get out and the smell of alcohol ,body odor and car engine oil fill the air.

Hey sweetie, wife's dad says to my my wife (gf at the time). Hi daddy she says and she introduces me .I say hi nice to meet you and extend my hand . I'm met with eyes being cut and a harsh spit of chewing tobacco, but no handshake in return.

So after just sitting there for about an hour hearing country music on the radio and getting eating alive by bugs one of the men says he boy , why don't you head to the beer store, we cant drive.

I say alright no problem ,but excuse my self to the treeline first to use the bathroom. I hear the Dad saying he's gonna ride etc as I'm doing my business.

As I'm walking back the dad gets in my car and cranks it up, drunk as can be. I'm asking him to get out cause he's been drinking and I'm telling him I'll drive . He mumbles something and takes off in the car ,burning the tires as he leaves.

I hear him raising hell in my car for about 2 minutes then he's gone. About 25 minutes later he comes back same thing dogging my car up and down the road.

He pulls in and my wife is pissed . She's yelling at her daddy I'm so mad I'm shaken and the rednecks are cracking up thinking it's the funniest thing ever.

I thought I heard him call me a name and that was it . I dropped the f bomb to him and he said well let's go then. So we are about to do this when his friend pulls s pistol telling me to back up.

Now drunk rednecks and guns is something I'm used to so I wasn't scared I was more mad than anything . Seeing that little derringer got me even madder so I retrieved a full size glock from the glovebox.

Her dad is still trying to come at me and everyone is telling me to drop my gun, which I wouldn't do because I had a gun on me , and I couldn't leave because all the rednecks were between me and my car door at this time. Somewhere in there rhe famous I'll bite your damn nipple off boy got thrown around.

That was over 10 years ago and me and the man finally made peace after we were forced to be in the room together all day for a funeral. We laugh about the nipple bite to this day.

Dude, stuff like that was par for the course among me and some of my buddies back in the day. I can't say that I liked to live dangerously. It's more like lots of my friends did. I just thought it was funny. I just kept my back to the wall, and always had a route planned.

Thanks for filling in the story. :)

I still think the OP should just sharpen the thing and go on. It's just a knife, and the dude was just using it to do knife things.

Believe it or not, most good ol boys out there (my own father included) use knives to cut what needs cut, scrape what needs scraped, stab what needs stabbed, wipe it on their pants and throw it back in their pocket. It ain't that big of a deal at all.

All that happened is that his photo op piece turned into a knife that actually *gasp* gets used.
 
I agree. Most good ole boys are harmless. Why I said guns didn't scare me . It's almost like you'd be tarnished or less of a man around here if you used a gun in a fair fight. Not praising violence just saying how it his here.

Take it like this too. If he felt comfortable enough to grab your tool and use it then seems like he trusts you.

Another note about good ole boys is they may be a little hardcore or set in their ways what have you. You ever need one for something though they'll be there in a heartbeat for you.
