What is the dumbest comment someone has made about your knife?

This is the most recent my...

We were having Christmas at my Grandfathers and I had gotten my SOG Tridant Tanto about an hour earlier and was carrying it. When my Aunt gives me the sweater that she bought me I pull out my knife to cut that tag. She the starts going on about how where she used to live (Arizona) all the kids at the school she taught at carried "black market taliban" knives like the one I had and then she started asking me what I would need a knife for. The weird part was she then talked about how she carries a swiss army knife... :confused:

its all about image, for instance a wooden stock hunting rifle isn't scary, but put a pistol gripped synthetic stock and a hi-cap mag on the same rifle and it becomes scary...sheeple don't need reasoning behind what they do.
 
Once when I pulled out my Emerson CQC-13 to cut something, some guy passing by asked me quote "Damn son what school do you go to?" He was basically inferring that whatever school I go to is filled with gang members and trouble makers.
 
What was the dumbest comment ?
Somebody in my work place said "do you know that blades larger than ~3,5 inches are banned ?"
But I know It's a ßullsh!lt,
in my country I can carrying in public places all what I want:
pushdaggers, double edges, automatic knives, swords, sables and hatchets too :D


What was the funniest comment?
"Oh my God :eek: Is this your ..."
a girl said, she sat on my knees, right on my Griptilian hidden in my front pocket



PS.
Sorry for my English:(
 
Welcome to Bladeforums, Jaroslav!

Your English is fine. My family gave up Polish a few generations ago. :)

By the way, in English, sable is the fur-bearing animal "sobol". A "sablya" is sabre, or saber.

Random Idiot At Work: "What is that? Is that a knife? That's weapon! Are you a criminal or something? Have you stabbed anyone?"

Me: (Looking at him in disgust.) "No, but the day isn't over yet."




Moronic Walmart Employee: (Notices that I'm purchasing a machete. My GF is standing beside me) "What are you going to do with this?"

Me: (Pointing to my GF) "She's been acting up lately so I thought I might chase her around the yard with this to teach her a lesson."
 
I got a pretty bad comment on one of my YouTube video reviews, it went something like "Hey! When are you going to do a review about the box cutters that were used on 9/11?".

Of course the weasel that posted the comment immediately deleted it so you couldn't see it in the youtube comments but I got it as an update mail (which I am sure he knew very well).
 
As a maker i get these all the time ; Where do you buy your blades from? or ,Where do you get your blades chromed. Oh well i suppose it's a chance to educate people isn't it.

Hope it wasn't a mini griptilian. :D:D:D
 
About the dumbest I've had was after OJ's arrest. The question was always "Hey, did you make OJ's knife?" The answer I settled on was "No, with one of mine he would have cut her head clear off."

When confronted by the question about why my knives cost so much and their WalMart, or cheaper, special is everybit as good, I generally do a quick demo. I ask for their knife, then shave steel off the spine with mine. No further explanation is necessary, their wide eyes say it all.

Not knife related, but I was sourcing for a new axe for the Scout den a few days back, and I went into a hardware store...

"Do you sell axes?"

Shopkeeper looks at me and asks (in Chinese)

"What does a kid like you want with an axe? Going to kan tou (chop someone's head off)?"
 
Some funny stuff here. But I cant help but to point out that lots of guys here can't figure out why non-knife people think knives are weapons. When there's such a large number of people in this thread, making or implying threats and/or mentioning future violent acts that they may perform with there knife. When asked "is that a weapon?" or "you gonna stab someone?"

No wonder people are scared of knives when there's this many ding-bats scareing them. :p
