What don’t you use your knife for?

[T. Erdelyi]

I’ve noticed there has been a trend of people asking, “What do you use your knife for?” threads. Well if you have to ask you probably don’t need and shouldn’t have a knife anyway.

Now after years as a collector/user and knife knut later, I learned to use a knife. It was kinda intuitive, keep the sharp end away from my soft flesh, don’t stab a folding knife into anything I’m not willing to losea finger over. Pretty self explanatory right?

You’d think so but not according to the “What do you use your knife for?” queries that always seem to pop up. So how about something a little different like,

What don’t you use your knife for?

I don't use my knife as a prybar.

Please post pics of the knives you don't do somethings with, it'll keep the thread here instead of W&C or from gettin' closed.

Another knife I don't perform surgery with or use as a train brake.

So what don't you use your knives for?

I do not use my knife to pick my nose. Or my friends’ noses.

No prybar use either.

 

[shinyedges]

I don't use my knife as weight in my safe.

 

[ScooterG]

I don’t us my knives as screwdrivers.
I don’t use my knives as fingernail cleaners.
I don’t use my knives to remove belly button lint.

 

[Owen K.]

I generally don’t use my knife as a manscaper. Unless it is a matter of life And death.

 

[marcus52AR]

I've got nothing, I use my knives for everything.

Similar to Homer when he got a gun on the Simpsons.


Seriously though, I don't use the tip for hard use anymore.. at least I'm trying to be more careful. I tipped 2 knives in 2 months.

I don't use my knife to eat my soup!

Never as a prybar or a screwdriver. That should be common sense!

It makes me sad, but I do not use them for much of anything.

 

[Peter Hartwig]

Screwdriver
Certain knives I own are capable of light prying, but I rarely do it
prefer not to cut into metal including wires
I basically don't like to sharpen out gouges in my blades.
I am sure if the need is great enough, nothing is off the table, but those are emergency situations, not day to day.

 

[DocT]

I don't use my knife to run out and stab a wild boar as it passes by.

 

[Barman1]

I don't use my knife to drink coffee.
But there it is anyway....

Screwdriver
Prybar
Baton (except light batoning)
Murdering and robbing

 

[McFeeli]

I don't use my knife to take pictures of my other knives.

This is so weird but I use my knife as a prybar...

 

[Cvrobinson]

I use my knives for about everything except as an excuse to not buy more knives

 

[Aquaholicc]

I’m sure this applies to about 95% of the Bladeforums population

 

[BladeScout]

I tipped 2 knives in 2 months.
