Stupid people

Last year at the Ohio knife show a kit knife maker was looking at my new Stars & Stripes 4.25 from TiNives.

Now anyone who has ever held one of these knows they are not the grippiest knife, quite slick in fact.

This idiot proceeds to try and "flick" the knife open, does not get it the first time and before I had a chance to get it back he tried again. This time the knife flew from his hand, 1/2 open like a boomerang, down the isle past 2 other tables and skipped another 10 feet on the carpet under someone else's table....

Luckily there were no marks because the hall was carpeted and no one lost a limb.

Talk about bad show etiquette...:mad:

Yeah, and 480 three-phase can do a number on tools, too. I have a collection of toasted tools (screwdrivers, cutters, etc). Thankfully no good knives.

a Darwin Award just waiting to happen:rolleyes: The last time I handed out a knife I was still carrying my Gerber EZ-out. My friend's boyfriend made off with it and when I found him he was cutting limes for beer. B@$t@rd didn't even try to wipe it clean. Last time I handed out a knife to someone I didn't know very well. Live and learn.

I remeber when I was in high school (14-almost 15 years ago).
I had a friend I grew up with, I'll call him "jim" since I know he wouldnt want anyone, even to this day what he did (that it was him).

I had a kabar that I constantly stroked on the whetstone ever refining it to a razor edge. well I used this knife for throwing, chopping camping ect.

my friend "jim" and steve and I went out camping one weekend in high school.
well "jim" found a golf ball and thought it would be cool to cut it in half!! yeah you probably know allready where this is going.

well he asked me to borrow the kabar, I had just finished refining it with my hard arkansas stone. I handed it to him, but I told him as i handed it over don't try it you'll cut your finger off!!

well "jim" knowing it all just ignored me and centered the golf ball between his fingers. I told him he better clean the blade off after he finished. He just laughed at me as he raised the knife up......and thunnnkkk!!!! he cut his finger off in onee swoop!!! who tries to stab a golf ball in half??
well me being the heathen I use to be and my friend steve not being far behind laughed at him as we got wrapped his finger off and took him to the hospital.

as always, "jim's" mother came running in, before asking any questions and said, "I know you --- did it to my son"!!!
yes, I was the child your parents did'nt want you to play with!!!

(thank the lord Jesus changes people!!!)

well, being the compassionate person I use to be, I took the knife and painted on the blade in white paint "--- cut his finger off with this knife".
the writing remained on there till I retired it and sold it to a friend who wanted some memorabilia....and it was'nt "jim".


well now when I bring it up to "jim" he looks at me and still hasnt been able to smile about it, thats ok, close call!!! to say the least he's never picked up a kabar since!!! :eek:
