So a knife isn’t yours till it draws blood, huh?…..

[pholder]

I owned SO MANY knives when I was younger.

Nope, just if it cuts paper while sitting on the couch. Occasionally, if I am testing the edge on my finger nail it will go past or slide and hit the end of my finger, usually just a cut, but no blood. just means I am glad my sharpening skills are not great yet or it came that way.

 

[Zulus]

OK
good to know finally
that I do NOT own my knives :^(

 

[K.O.D.]

I'm not sure if other people will be accepting of the rule of "if it cuts me it's mine" when it comes to handling other people's cutlery. Words might be said.

More than words. Hands might get thrown. Literally.

Just the opposite for son in law. Gave him a set of Shun kitchen knives. He cut himself taking one out of the box. Now he will not use them.

Aww, that's too harsh!

Confucius obviously never heard of the Donner family!

I hear they had quite a Party.... :^)

Definitely NO ! I haven't enough blood for all those knives I call mine...
I get the occasional dry cut (only skin), like "when did this happen ?". Careless handling of sharp knives or knives in sharpening can do that.
The belt grinder though... may claim some skin, or heated fingertips once in a while.

That's the rumor!

I recently put in an order for a morale patch from a well known maker of such things, and kick myself for resisting the urge to throw this into my cart.

Would’ve been better if they brought a little salt.

Is that a line from a Beatles song?

 

[herisson]

Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band may apply...
But then... I was younger.

No idea what you're all talking about, though my Mini Grip is definitely drop-shut.

 

[DocJD]

I don't have to bleed to make them mine . Done more than my share already !

Just handling , carrying , and using . Disassembly , cleaning , maintenance .

Modifications , minor to major , done by my hand .

Those things are hella sharp. I respect sharp and pointy things but Shun kitchen knives deserve a bit more respect. If you're the kind of person who likes to watch movies on your laptop while you chop vegetables, you might want to reconsider how you use a knife unless you want to look like you were a great disappointment to the Yakuza...

 

[Stelth]

A knife is mine after I paid for it and it's in my possession; just like anything else I buy.

 

[tinfoil hat timmy]

I've cut myself too many times to count. sold a bunch of the guilty for whatever reason.

I wish I'd have kept 90% of ''my'' knives.

 

[USMCPOP]

I've drawn blood using a nail hammer. And pliers. Good thing I didn't sharpen them.

Know what's dangerous? Those Japanese type pruning saws with the shark teeth. They do make a nice incision until you hit bone.
