Ritualistic unboxing of new knives?

I rip em open like some kind of crazed lunatic.

I also have many of my knives sent to my workplace. The mail at work arrives at about 8:45am. UPS even earlier. It keeps the waiting to a minimum.
 
Depending on what Im expecting, that ditermines the level of ferosity.
 
I also use my last purchased knife. (in this case an BG scouts knife, laugh if you want) I then proceed to admire the knife and put it up on display.
 
I don't, but I've watched some youtube videos of people unboxing their new knives and I always notice something that people do almost every time......

They would take the knife out and set it aside, and then they would ALWAYS take another peek into the box or search through the foam peanuts to see if anything else is in there.
 
It all depends on what kind of knife it is,for a khukuri i ripped it apart like i was diabetic and the box had insulin,for a small knife its more of a British aristocrat sipping tea.Im not yet sure of how im going to react once i order a Busse Killa Zilla....

eh some people put extra swag in boxes.
 
Disrobe it as you would take the bride out of her gown on wedding night, with the possibility of penetration and some blood afterwards. But there's not so much hymen-rending on real wedding nights anymore, so that metaphor fails on more than one count. But you can get cut when first handling a new knife, cf. Tenacious or Civilian.
