NEVER let someone "borrow" your knife

[razorsdescent]

No doubt.
Despite a university (and college) education, I have a "rewarding" minimum wage job (hooray for higher learning! Go Lancers!)
My lack of a decent income has not made it so I cannot have, and use, nice things.
You just have to have priorities. I decided on lots of knives, and no kids.
I'm sure we can all agree that was the correct choice.

You were actually one of the people I had most directly in mind. Some people post enough on this forum that you get to know what they are kinda about. Unfortunatley many people seem to be about just being a jerk via the anonymity of the internet.

i live in impoverished philippines, a kid in private school, mortgages, etc. i bought a ti millie as a modest retirement gift for myself, and i carry it around. if someone wants to borrow it (under strict conditions,) why not? if he maltreats it, he's in danger of getting cut or stabbed (by either the millie or the backup delica.) therefore, the people here are right. knives are for chipping ice. they're also for stabbing idiots.

I don't even show my friends my knives anymore much less let anybody borrow it to use. People do some pretty weird things to other people's stuff without even knowing sometimes. I have a friend who is also into knives and he has this weird annoying habit of tapping on the blade with his finger nails as if to see how "hard it is", and he would run his finger nails up and down the G10 to feel the texture.

My best friend back in high school did this thing where he would kick the wheel when he first saw my new car. It was like a, *kick* "Hmmm not bad".

I'll never understand why people would do something like that and see it as normal.

or rub their dirty fingertips on the crystal of your new watch? this thread touches on very basic behavioral issues. i'd even say 'primal.'

Yea people dont respect other peoples stuff, although most people are like that so sometimes I find it is not worth the time being mad at them. In some cases make them buy a new one, or tell them if they mess it up they are the ones buying a new one.
