I'm psyching myself up for another show and wondered about some of the stupidest questions or comments people utter at shows. It would be great to have some snappy answers too!


"Is it legal to make these?" :confused:

"Is this a throwing knife?" :rolleyes:

"Whoa that looks dangerous!" :jerkit:... okay that's the sharp end, you hold it by the other end...

"I'm gonna kill my wife with this!" :eek:... no exaggeration I heard this 10 times at the last show!
 
For the first one.

Its legal to make anything, but to keep it is another story.

The secound one

It can be if you throw it but usually we suggest you keep it in your hand. Cant defend yourself with a knife you threw and missed.

Whoa that looks dangerous (I like the one you posted already) or/ Thats why you always want to be on this side of the knife (and point to the handle)

The forth one I have no answer for
 
Sounds like all 4 of those people have disqualified themselves from knife ownership.

"Is it legal to make these?" :confused: absolutly not, in fact the swat team should have been here by now to take me away.

"Is this a throwing knife?" :rolleyes: go stand over there lets find out

"Whoa that looks dangerous!" :jerkit:... okay that's the sharp end, you hold it by the other end...its only dangerous if ask any more stupid questions

"I'm gonna kill my wife with this!" :eek:... yeah they work great! just ask my wife.....

try those
 
wow, thats scary! pretty much everyone I'v talked to about knives in these parts has been pretty level headed. but than again I'v never sold knives to the general public.
 
Some of my favorites;

"Wow! $250? Has anyone ever bought one?" Still waiting for the day....

"Wow! $250? You must be RICH!" Oh yeah, all knifemakers are...

"Did you steal that design from Todd Begg?" No, Tim Zowada, actually...

"You should fold the steel like the Japanese do. It makes a stronger blade" Ok...

"Is this knife for killing people." Not so far.....

I get the "throwing knife" thing too. I just say, if you give me $__ you can do whatever you want with it.
 
The best one that I have seen didn't involved any words. A guy stuck his tongue on the blade to taste what the carbon content was.:D

:D Having done a lot of gun shows I thought I had heard them all but that is a new one.

It ranks right up there with the guy who told me his friend makes the best knives ever from old engine blocks.
 
How much is that knife?

Six fifty.

Do you have change for a ten? Does it come with a sheath?

Hoss
 
"hey, is that sharp?"

"um, do you have any bandaids?"
 
I asked a guy last year at the Blade Show if he wanted a band-aid. His stupid reply was "No". I told him "Well back off. You are dripping on my table cover."

Mike, I read in KNives a few years back about an old school Mexican knifemaker doing that to a Randall back in the late 60's, but I wasn't sure if it was a joke a guy was telling many years later. Guess it wasn't.:D
