Okay, it's dumb, but I know ...SOMEBODY...has done it.

Maybe drunk. Maybe not. If you want to remain anonymous, you can say your "cousin" did it. But.....someone....has. I just know it.

So...... who's ever taken two knives an whacked the EDGES together? Just ta see wot happens. Or to check hardness. Or wake up the cat. Or SUMPIN!

I refuse to believe that no one has tried it.

So, if your "cousin" ....did....do this, what happened?

:confused:
 
That's why I can't let friends play with two knives at once....my friend's girlfriend (also a friend) tried to rub the edges of each of our D2 griptilian's together. I've never whacked them together myself, though. I imagine chipping would be the most obvious result...a lot of pressure in a very little area...
 
Nope, never did it. I usually only hold one knife at a time, because if I had one knife in each hand, I wouldn't be able to hold my fork.
 
*raises hand*

Yes, I did it. Judge me, hate me, demand a square foot of skin off my back... I did it.

Two CRKTs, just to see what would happen. Both chipped. A nice little "v" in both edges. To be fair, a relative of mine had used one of them to pry clams, destroying the tip. And I just didn't like the other.

I can do one better than this, though - a BM 710 and a hammer. The hammer won.
 
Fortunately, I've had the good fortune to never had such a lapse in judgment as that :D C'mon, Lavan, admit it - your "cousin" is a wild and crazy guy! Tell us about it ;)
 
When we were kids in grade school we would do that to see who had the best knife. I gave that up about the time I started noticing girls.
 
I've done it. But I was 9 years old, stupid, curious, and they were only cheap kitchen knives. I whacked them together a few dozen times. My mom made me buy new ones.
 
There are no words to describe the laughter I've gotten from this thread!! :D (I think we are in need of more) While I have never hit two blades together, i could tell stories of similar "bad judgements" This has brought me great joy, thank you fine gents!!!!!!! :thumbup:
 
I know a guy who accidentally hit two hammers together and got metal splinters in his eye and the resulting surgeries/ partial loss of eyesight.

This is what I was talking about!!!!
 
I define "winning" as remaining usable as whatever it was before the competition. But you're absolutely right, the hammer got its fair share of battle scars. To this day I can't regret it when I remember the big-ass grin on my face. Also, it was only $25 to have the blade replaced, and I'd been wanting a plain-edge blade...

There are worse ways to get your kicks.

This is really just nit picking from me, but fyi, it's a lot of force in a small area. Pressure = Force/Area, so it is very high pressure.
 
That's too funny. You know, the guy I work with used to do that with some of the knives we got in. Apparently coming from him, whatever took the lesser beating was the superior knife.......................God forbid this is him, cause you know either way im going to laugh at him tommarrow.
 
Many years ago my brother had a couple friends over. They turned out to be a couple of idiots. They were in his room and noticed my brother had a couple ninja swords on display, the cheap ones. I think one was like $40-50 and was actually like 440 steel or something half decent. The other was pure show and was like $90, but it was more decorated, longer, etc, but made from a soft steel. Well, these fools started sword fighting and smacking the swords together. The cheaper sword didn't get damaged that much, but the other one had a lot of chips out of the blade.

Now I might have to find a couple of cheap knives to bang together, but I can clearly imagine what will happen, so I think I'll pass on trying it. :)
 
I stabbed a cookie sheet with a kitchen knife once, just to see how far it would penetrate. I wasn't actually able to stab it that far through.
