Uh...no thanks , I already cut myself plenty on my nice knives designed not to !
That’s a good friend right there. When the bonds of friendship go beyond the serious, into the messing with each other. I sure hope you return the ridiculousness in kind, or, even better, one upped!This is funny...Couple of years ago, good friend of mine, knowing how much I'm into knives, decided to give me a knife as a joke.
He looked for the cheesiest possible knock off model in the Express site, ordered it and gave it to me for my Birthday...
This is the knife from the picture. Naturally I left it aside and didn't even think about it till I saw this picture.
As continuing with the same joke, another time he gave me also a wooden knife he brought from Jamaica, I have to dig this one out too...
Enjoy:

Finally we have actual "truth in advertising " and clearly they understand their potential customers !
I hate to admit it but I actually do like the blade shape and handle profile on that one.This is funny...Couple of years ago, good friend of mine, knowing how much I'm into knives, decided to give me a knife as a joke.

Not a huge fan of the geometry but the knife looks really attractive in person, especially the coating - it’s very pretty blue color…I hate to admit it but I actually do like the blade shape and handle profile on that one.
You’re right. This guy is brilliant hydraulics engineer, done some very interesting projects for BP, NASA, DOD and recently for Elon Musk. Very good friend of mine, I gave him numerous knives that he immediately lost…That’s a good friend right there. When the bonds of friendship go beyond the serious, into the messing with each other.

That’s awesome! Although I’m not a fan of the Chevy in those, to each their own and it’s still a great looking car!Not a huge fan of the geometry but the knife looks really attractive in person, especially the coating - it’s very pretty blue color…

‘Looking at your avatar, I think this could be interesting for you (apologies for the off topic):
He acquired a Cobra kit car that was fairly uniq - Corvette engine (I think) in Cobra kit chassy.
He did exceptional job finishing the project, and now every time we stop by on a traffic light
always someone will roll the window down to ask details…
‘Here few pictures, note the hybrid emblem and colors…

Older ones, yes. But the new ones seem to all be getting the new coyote. I want to update mine with that power plant. I used to agree about glass ones. But, I’ve learned a lot. They are more stable, handle better, faster, and loads safer than the originals. They each have their place, as far as I’m concerned. As long as you don’t try to pass one off as original. That gets stuck in my gizzard more than anything…..The majority of kit Cobra's have a small-block 350ci Chevy engine. Availability and ease of adding performance upgrades are the main reasons. If you just wanna drop a Ford 427428/429ci in one, there are kits for that.
I'm not a fan of fiberglass Cobras. I understand, but it's not the same.
Thought guys? Seems pocket friendly
