What's the craziest thing someone said to you about one of your knives?

i was talking to my friend about the wonder of knives and the people who make/design them. he said dude knifes and knife making is such a waste we'll have light sabers soon, my first thought was yes if you live to be 431.

I got one close to that, "You could have gotten a gun for that much!".

I get that all the time. I can't own guns so that gun money needs to go somewhere :D
 
my other friend is shocked when im NOT carrying a knife. i have taught him well. :) hes even looking at quality knives & talking about them with me.
 
One of the most craziest and awesomest things ive heard was when I recently invited a friend and his new girlfriend over for dinner. I pulled out my Delica 4 ffg to open a package of noodles when his girlfriend noticed me and said "You call that a knife? This is a knife." and pulled out a ZT 0301 out of her purse. My jaw dropped and soon after, I told my friend that shes a keeper :D
 
I was breaking down some boxes were I used to work with my Mini Bone Collector when I hear someone behind me say "Do you want to use a real knife?" confused at how anyone could mistake my brand new Benchmade as a toy, I turned around to see my co-worker buddy produce a large serrated Ka Bar TDI from an IWB sheath. I asked him "What the $%&@ do you need that for?:confused:" (this is all taking place in the grocery store's bottle room BTW) And of course he starts to tell me defensively that he needs it for this and that, like I'm some moron who opens boxes with my teeth because I don't carry a knife :rolleyes::D

So you don't think he had a good reason to be carrying that knife?:confused:
 
Not a chance, my Mini Bone Collector was bordering on overkill:p

To each his own though. Maybe the tape he was splitting with his knife was WAAAAAAY tougher than the tape I was splitting, but I doubt it.
 
I was a hairdresser for years and I was cutting this lady's hair and she asked if my benchmade cqc 7 clip was a pager ( which pagers had been obsolete for years ) and I said, "no, its a knife". To which she replied, "why do you need a knife" in this worried tone, like somehow her personal safety is in jeopardy. I said, "do you realize that the scissors that I am cutting your hair with are sharper than most knives out there?" She said, "you know, I didn't think of it that way". What's funny is that under my shirt on the other side I had a Glock 27 in an iwb holster. I think it would be funny to see the look on her face if I pulled that out and showed that to her. I think most sheeple just grow up in this parallel universe in which nothing bad happens and they only see what they want to see. The only knives they see like ours is perhaps some episode on a crime drama on tv, and only drug-crazed thugs use knives like that......idk......
 
My mother in law :rolleyes:, is one of those people who is nice to your face but bad talks you behind your back had two great comments about the knives I make.
First was that I was so conceited that I put my name on them and second that it was a bad thing that I kept them so sharp because someone could get hurt. Yeesh.
 
about a sak at work...
"can it cut through metal??"
"probably not do you want to try?"
"haha yeah you try and do that then you'll blunt your knife and have to go buy another one hahaha"

yea no
 
Cut through some rain gutter with my VG-10 Delica 4 once. It cuts it. But the knife ends up mighty dull.

You make blades with sharp edges? You should put a warning label on them instead of your name, you crazy sharp knife making guy!

Don't worry, one day someone will invent some way of making a dull knife sharp again - then you'll have a way of fixing those old blunt knives so you can use them again.

Hey I grew up in the 80's, and I'm still wait waiting for the flying cars we're all supposed to have by now! :)
 
A couple for you...

Just about to head out fishing and my buddy sees my ontario RD4 in my bag and does a double take... he says "why do you need to bring a freaken machete with you????"

Another time when I was flatting in Sydney I found a mate of mine using my leatherman wave serrated blade to cut through a piece of aluminium tubing! So I say what the #%*& are you doing???? His response was "just borrowing your hacksaw mate!"
 
A guy asked to borrow my 710 (now sold or traded, can't remember) and I told him it was VERY! sharp and to be careful. He of course cut himself and apparently some medicine he was one made him bleed like a stuck pig so then he wants to know if he can have a tissue. He got upset with me and said, "that's the sharpest knife I've ever seen, that's too sharp!". I just rolled my eyes.

Another time, my boss (a woman) needed someone to cut something. There was a group of us and I, of course having a knife, pulled out my Mini (MINI!) Grip to which she said, "that knife is huge and looks dangerous! I laughed and said next time use your own. ;)

You know, some people, you could beat them to death with logic and all you'd do is get tired.
 
Case number 1:
My uncle: That looks like a deadly weapon!
Me: Well it's not.

Case number 2:
My brother (After I carelessly cut myself): Maybe your knife is too sharp.
Me: This would probably be worse if it wasn't. Besides, you weren't complaining when I was able to trim those Christmas Tree branches earlier!

Number 3:
Me: I just reprofiled the edge on this knife to 20 degrees.
Dude 1: Was that really necessary?
Me: *Stares*
Dude 2: *Laughs* Of course it was!

Those are the best specific examples I can recall. Of course I also get "Why did you spend that much on a knife?" or "Collecting knives is pointless" and crap like that all the time. But on a positive note, here's a GOOD example of proper knife response. At my college we are allowed to carry knives provided they are legal, so me and a few other guys at an event have a little passaround of all our pocket knives after the event died halfway through (As all college events during the day do LOL). Security walks into the doorway to go through the room, looks right over at all of us with knives in our hands, and just nods and keeps going. We're not breaking the rules, he has no reason to stop or react negatively. I find it funny that this type of situation happens at a liberal arts school in New York State!
