Traditional Knife Haiku

[JTB_5]

When two woods collide,
The results can be quite bad,
But not in this case.

 

[5K Qs]

Here's a Haiku for my knife autobiography.

One knife, many years.
Then many knives in few years.
What the heck happened??

[Prester John]

O yellow trapper,
With thy smooth and polished skin:
What a joy to hold!

Super appropriate! Japanese verse on a Japanese knife. A Moki is on my short list.

Just one to assess
But, if it's indicative,
Mokis are kick-ass!

A Haiku response:

One man needs one knife,
But with BladeForum knife friends,
Knife desires increase.

so one was enough
until all reason took flight
alas… now our plight

we have knives galore
quoth the maven… just one more
cpm…………five four

Thanks, Gary, and Pinemoon, this is my favorite!

GEC obsessed
83 was my gateway
No money for food

So true, well said.
my family and most of my friends wonder what the neck happened!

 

[Pinemoon]

Thanks, Gary, and Pinemoon, this is my favorite!

Thanks Mamba!

Left the house hurried
Half-hour gone and no blade!
U-turn, late for work

 

[Shurke]

"Any curved blades?" you ask.
"Not one," I reply, perhaps
a bit sheepishly.

Pretty good, but not a haiku.

 

[5K Qs]

Tapered, tang to tip.
Straight edge, with a swayback grip.
Make mine a lambsfoot!

[JTB_5]

Been fleeced of your flock?
When you need a lambsfoot knife,
Grind a Navy down!

 

[Pinemoon]

O yellow trapper,
With thy smooth and polished skin:
What a joy to hold!

The trapper arrived
And fits my hand like a glove
Thank you Prester John!

 

[Pinemoon]

Been fleeced of your flock?
When you need a lambsfoot knife,
Grind a Navy down!

Strange lambsfoot knife cult
I do not own one myself
Explain the allure

 

[black mamba]

A pure joy to hold,
Capable of any cut:
Lambsfoot perfection.

 

[Prester John]

The trapper arrived
And fits my hand like a glove
Thank you Prester John!

You're welcome, Pinemoon.
That knife fits my hand well too.
Enjoy it, my friend!

What was that, Pinemoon?
You mean, you're not one of us?
Try one, you'll like it!

Strange lambsfoot knife cult
I do not own one myself
Explain the allure

Canted blade cuts swell,
Straight edge with a swayback grip,
Gets lost in the hand.

You hit the nail right on the head, Joshua!

Very good, Dwight; the second one is outstanding with its POEtry!

"Any curved blades?" you ask.
"Not one," I reply, perhaps
a bit sheepishly.

Killer double entendre in the last line!
