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

I took out my Bark River Gameskeeper in camp once to cut some marshmallow sticks for the kids to use, and an "old timer" looked at it and said: "Boy, that sure is a pretty knife. Is it as good as a Buck?" :mad::mad:
 
Cleaning up after a wedding at the hall, I puled out a UKPK to cut some tape off a post. The lady working next to me said "Is that a KNIFE"?? :eek:
duh.. I replied, and paid no never mind.
 
A friend of mine told me his Sebenza could do anything any of my fixed blades could do, and look better in the process. So I hammered my Scrapyard Yard Guard into a tree and stood on it, and dared my friend to do the same with his Sebenza. I even promised to give him $100.00 if his knife didn't break.

I'm still waiting.

I've gotten that one before, I don't know about you but that's about as bad as someone asking if those are shoes on your feet as if their eyes deceive them.

"Nope. My finger nail growth just got out of hand.

Here's your sign."

At least (thank goodness) we don't get much of that "knife phobia" or "gun phobia" out here in the Rockies, yet. (except in Denver, of course.)

when I get that kind of crap from people, I just reach over and pat them on the head like they're a little kid. pisses them off, but it makes me feel better and keeps me from saying something that we'd both regret.
 
I gave my sister my car keys to go get something out of my trunk (she's 30). As I handed her my keys, she said, "You need to be careful with that knife. It's huge!" She was refering to the Spyderco Ladybug I had on my keychain.

maybe it has something to do with her husband/the guys she's been dating. :D
 
A friend at work-"Do you have your knife on you?"... Me "Of course I have it, you need it all the time!"

or "What do you need a knife for?"... "Well... cutting things, What do you use when you need to cut something?"
 
I haven't gotten anything stranger than the "weapon" and "Hannibal" comments yet. I did get my cousin a Schrade-Walden H-15 and sharpened her up, so when I give it to him this Christmas, we'll see what he says, since he's never had a good, sharp knife before :P

It would be even funnier if he actually tried.
 
I usually get:

"Why do you carry a knife?" These are usually the ones that poke fun at me for having a knive hobby and carrying an expensive knive. They are usually also the first to come running when the need to have something cut. I love it when you see these people trying their hardest to chew through a package with a set of keys, I walk up and effortlessly slice the package open for them. Usually, thats where I throw in my smarta55 comment

"My knive is just a good as yours." This is usually said by someone packing a gas station, flea market, QVC, (insert any other cheap POS)

"Why can't I use your knife like a crow bar?" :mad: Nuff said

There are a lot more but these are the my FAQs and statements I get that upset me.

That is perfectly understandable, Alex. Women are often a poor judge of dimensions, because they are always being told that 4" is really 8". :p
 
^ Bahaha!

Also, I hate to keep beating a dead horse, but what is it with the people who ask you why you're carrying a knife when you're doing a task that requires one? Half the time I'm doing a task for somebody, and I get the same question.
