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

Well. I showed my locally made SERE fixed blade in a local forum. Some douche asked "can it pierce a coin or cut nails(the ones you use to build houses with) without damage to the edge?"
 
Not too crazy - but my favorite comment about one of my knives from a co-worker (in this case a Black Bladed Spyderco Millitary)

"Wow! That looks like a knife Batman would carry!"
 
"I wouldnt spend that much on a knife" that same person will have a gigantic jacked up truck with more money on rims and tires than i spend on knives in a year.

Okay that's not stupid like most of the other comments here, that's just hilarious!
 
My reply to the "you could have gotten a gun for that" is always "not one of my guns" :D

I was thinking the same thing... my latest acquisition was a $1,000 Colt 1911 that I promptly handed over to the 'smith as a "base gun" for custom work :-)

Back on topic. Not all that crazy, but I typically cut my daily apple at lunch with a slipjoint. Well, last Friday I had the large Insingo and let's just say it raised a few eyebrows!?!?!?!! Big knives just get folks attention.
 
I've had several "That's a big knife!" statements, usually referring to a 3 inch blade.

Luckily, I live in a knife friendly region, not too many scary sheeple encounters.

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.

You'd think someone who's a member here and posting in this thread in particular would understand that someone might carry a fixed blade, regardless of size:rolleyes:. None of the Ka-Bar TDIs are really that big anyway. The largest TDI on Ka-Bar's site only has a blade length of 3.5".
 
I did have the other month someone say "you're going to end up cutting something with that knife." Well I sure hope so or it wouldn't be that useful a tool.

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......

Awesome dude! Hairdressers with CQC-7's and glock 27's. :D
 
i was cleaning my sks and my girlfreind asked why there was a knife on my gun. I knew right then her dreams of becoming a brain surgeon were over
 
A man asks to see my knife and said he was a fellow collector so I show him the lone wolf double action diablo i was carrying @ the time and he hands it back to me unimpressed and says, "oh I thought it was united cutlery or something cool"! Some things are just not worthy of a response.
 
Fun read!

And indeed it is interesting to see folks noticing a knife before a gun. I think it is a throwback to that primal fear of sharp objects.

Afterall knife has been around as long as the existence of human race and fear of being cut is practically an inherited instinct.
 
"what is that, a switchblade?" about my Opinel No8, to which i replied "It's about the furthest from a switchblade you can get." lol
 
People always ask me if my knives are for stabbing people....I just respond that they are for stabbing people who ask dumb questions.......at that point they get really quiet.....



No just kidding I don't stab people. :)

WHAT THE HELL?!? Why would you even WANT to do that assuming it's true? How is the victims long term recovery relevant for combat knife choice?

What was his next suggestion? Rub your own faeces on the blade so the wound will become infected later?

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA I may or may not have actually just soiled myself!



funniest post I've seen in a while
 
My family and friends know that I sharpen knives. I have been seriously asked on three separate occasions, "if you drop a piece of paper onto that blade, will it be sliced in half?"
Cartoons are not good physics teachers...
 
Not exactly crazy, but…

I was in my local hardware store. An old couple were looking at a display of Case knives—this was when hardware stores carried decent pocket knives. A clerk was answering their questions, but she got stuck. She pointed at a trapper and asked me, “Raymond, what is this blade for?”

I said, “It’s called a spay blade. It’s for castrating livestock. It turns stallions into geldings and bulls into bullocks.”

She looked at the blade in question, smiled, and said, “Neat.”

I said, “Remind me not to ask you out on a date.”
 
"What the hell do you do with that?!!!"
A good friend: "What do you mean you don't have a knife on you?!!" In front of about 10 or so sheep @ work, when he was trying to open a packed storage unit with the thick packing straps with a dull pen knife.
