Rolling Knives?

[Uncle Timbo]

Okay first off let me forewarn you, I'm a hillbilly from WV and I come from a long line of hillbillies from WV. Save the jokes, I've heard them all. When my dad was alive, this chemical plant he worked at, they would play a game call rolling knives. Somebody might come up to you and take their pocket knife out of their pocket and start rolling it in the palm of their hand. Just fast enough that you could see it was a knife but not tell a whole lot about it. He'd say, wanna roll knives? If you wanted to partake, you'd pull yours out and start rolling it also. You'd be looking at his and vice-versa. If you both agreed, you would stop and trade knives for keeps. Sometimes you might get a knife with a chipped blade. Sometimes you might get one better than the one you had. I think my dad played, but he carried a semi-dude in one pocket that he would use. Never his good Tree brand. he just played along for the fun of it.

I told you we are hillbillies. Anybody ever hear of anything like that or anything else?

Around here it is referred to as "dropping knives".

...haven't heard of it, but sounds like I wouldn't play with one of my nicer folders. It's obvious that you could really get hurt. Maybe there's a code of ethics involved, so somebody doesn't get screwed...and maybe not.
