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

Handed one of my female coworkers my endura to open a package with and was called OJ....was even funnier when I asked her if she wanted to be my Nicole :)

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.”

The Ace hardware in my town still carries Case knives. Tempting every time I go in.

Why to people have dull knives? Why not just carry a spoon?
My SAKs, MTs, folders & fixed blades (including machetes & khukuri) can all shave arm hair (at least) and I just don't want to waste time carrying a blade that isn't sharp.

IMO carrying a blunt knife is dumber than most of the dumb things that people say.
 
Had a guy looking at my short, fat little BK2 at a hunting camp. He says, 'now *that* is a fighting knife!'. Lol - really? Maybe it was the black coating on the blade that confused him?

Guy at welding class when he heard I made knives - "man, have you ever made a shiv?" Me - "no, I've progressed past sharpening a screwdriver".


Same guy, different day - "Man, you should make me knife" Me - "you should buy a knife from me". He didn't.

I have heard "your knives are too sharp"....there's no such thing.

"only police and military can carry those...thats illegal" I responded with NO OA is not illegal and if you go find the law that tells me it is I'll consider not considering what you said

"Your *Busse* isnt any stronger than my *frost fixed blade* and you wasted alot of $$" I proceded to hammer my knife into a stump and bend and flex and no break....did it to there knife SNAP! I responded with "Oh I guess your right I did waste my money because apparently you now have two knives for the price of one and I am still left with just my one:p"

Illegal is a sick bird lol
 
Very funny stories. I don't make a showing of using my knives, and therefore don't get a lot of looks or comments.
 
First off, I own a lot of knives like most folks here , but at the time owned nothing serrated. I went to the camping store intending to buy a Fully serrated Delica as I has a ton of rope to cut.

This clown comes up to me when I was looking at it and proceeded to give me a lecture on how useless a serrated knife is for using in the woods. After listening to his spiel for a few minutes , I told him I was buying it to cut a bunch of rope. I also said that my main bush knife ( at the time) was a Cold Steel SRK.

He mutters something to the effect that "some people don't know anything about knives."

Given my sometimes volatile nature , I bit my tongue and went to the checkout to pay for my knife comforted by the fact that I don't have to force my opinions on anyone.
 
Not to resurrect an old thread, but a remember when I used to caddy at a country club I'd always bring my knife. One day there was a special outing and in my foresome was a LEO who worked in private military. He saw me carrying the bag down the last hole and spotted my clip in my pocket. Long story short, he ended up teaching me how to hold a knife properly if ever attacked and taught me one or two moves. It wasn't like a 30 min lesson, just a 5 minute intro.

Coolest guy I ever met.
 
That's cool as hell!
 
Not sure about the strangest thing any has ever said, but here's one of the more resent ones..

My niece and step niece were visiting and I had just got through carving some spoons, I come in from the shop and I'd brought my knives in to touch up the edges and my step niece said "what are you doing?" I said sharpening my knife, she said "why do you need a sharpened knife...are you planing a break in or something?" Yep...planing a break in with my trusty Mora S-2 and full curve spoon knife :rolleyes:
 
You better counter the kids indoctrination via the public fool system.

Was having a conversation with a buddy of mine on a starbucks patio. He had just gotten a Sebenza and was showing it to me. The conversation was based around that and went to what other knives we had and then on to what guns we owned?

A young lady walked over from her table and said "Excuse me, I don't mean to pry, but why do y'all have so many guns and knives?" My friend turned to her like he didn't understand why she would ask the question and said "to be ready, of course!" She said "Ready for what?!" He got an incredulous look on his face and said "THEM! We have to be ready when THEY get here!!!!" . She just walked away, got her purse, got into her car, and sped out of the parking lot. :D

That is brilliant. He probably didn't even think when he said it. :D
 
I was in the middle of a lake fishing with some friends and a few random people, when I pulled out my spydie tenacious to cut some fishing line. one girl saw my knife and asked if i was going to kill everyone and make a suit out of their skins. I responded,
" Not everyone, I only used three people in my last skin suit..."
Needless to say, she found a new seat on the opposite side of the boat.
 
Someone at the resturant made a big deal about my 14 year old boy's CQC-7 stating " I don't feel safe when that boy has a knife that big." I simply replied " Funny,cause i do."
 
i have always wonder why no one is sacred of a 8" kitchen chef knife while they go apeshit over a 4" folder
