Some people NEED to stick with $5 knives

Well, I have no problem with knife collecting, really. But, if it's gonna be part of a collection, it has no business in your pocket. When you try to sell that collection later, it's unethical to call it "mint" or "new in box" if you have carried and used it, however infrequent.

Now, if it's a user, then you surely understand by now that a scratch (or a dozen) doesn't matter. Thank your friend that because of his little scratch you can now use your Strider to its full potential without guilt.
 
Hi TLO -

At least now the knife has been indoctrinated and you can go stab a refrigerator with it and have no guilt.

And, you have good humor about the replies, that is cool.

best regards -

Case in point: a very good friend of mine came over to my house with his family this weekend (wife and kid). I've stayed with them a few times this year, and so they decided to have a cheap family vacation at my place for the weekend before he starts a new job next week. Problems started as soon as they arrived. First, my house is bigger and nicer than theirs even though I'm single. The jealousy and snide remarks began immediately. They had no respect for my shit. For example, they left my towels at the water park. When I asked them why they left my very expensive, 5-star hotel-quality towels at the freakin' water park, they just shrugged and looked indignant, like "Oh, you care about that? You're cheap." Their kid threw up on my couch while I was out, and they didn't clean it up. They rummaged through my kitchen cabinets and fridge, opening brand-new, unopened bottles and packages of drinks and foods just to take one sip or one bite.

And they never said "Thank you" once the whole time, not even when they left. In fact, every time I treated them, they acted like they were entitled to it and got indignant when I mentioned a few times that we should eat something cheaper (they always wanted to go to nice restaurants). Their attitude was horrible the whole time. And the last day was the worst. My friend started f***ing with my head by making out-of-nowhere comments about my ex-girlfriend (he knows it was a bad breakup that still bothers me). I mean, out of nowhere he started making those comments. It was all I could do to not punch his f**ing lights out in front of his little son.

That is the most messed up post I've seen in ages. If you keep friends who are that pathetic and disrespectful then you've asked for it and you shouldn't be whining on a public forum about it. Don't say something ridiculous such as "it was the first time I saw that side of him" please. And, if someone annoys you you should learn to speak out and let them know. There are ways to deliver the harshest of messages with absolute respect if you needed to. But to admit that you sent him off with a smile while you wanted to punch him?? That's weak and hypocritical and "loving him to death" without honest and open conversation will ruin your friendship despite what you think.

There is no way his fingernail scratched titanium or marred the finish. Period. It's ridiculous to think its even possible. Maybe he was wearing a ring or it was already there but the guy's fingernail didn't do it.

Fingernails are very soft and probably wouldn't even scratch an ovary during a punching session. :rolleyes:

Some of these so called "users" are probably just as bad or worse than your friend. Keep that in mind.

Yeah, using a knife would be wrong...
(see the date stamp? I use it so hard I travel through time;))

If you really use any knife, it will get little surface scratches, and as you say, you use your knives. Also, my Chriss reeves have lots of small scratches on them, couldn't care less that they $500 or $50 I actually use my knives.

I carry my Sebbie Lrg 21. Sanded it down beacause of the blems aquired in the soft Ti finish. Bought another just to leave it in the cloth/box to look at every now and then.
 
NKP - "do you have a knife on you?"
Me - "yea, need me to cut something?"

People who don't have a knife make me suspicious. Then throw in the fact they are asking for one, like they are suddenly aware of it's need, and my suspicion goes off the chart.

"No, you may not see it. Yes, I am a dik"
 
nice to find out how fragile/delicate/precious people consider striders to be.maybe i should reconsider getting one to carry and use.
 
Doesn't this b..lsh..t belong in W&C?

I don't really see any knife related discussion, other than the debate of a fingernail scratching a blade, which is ridiculous...:D
