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

The dark fascination with violence that comes out of people when they see a tool or weapon is interesting. Yes, sometimes I carry a large folding knife, yes it could be used as a weapon. But it's non-knife people who always jump to liver removal, stabbing, murdering, gutting, slicing, etc. Same with my guns. I get asked if this or that rifle would blow a man's arm off, etc.

My guess, a lack of knowledge and love of action movies.

Here's something else though, concealed weapons is a misdemeanor punishable by more than one year in jail, as such, being convicted of "concealed weapons" will not allow you to legally purchase or own firearms. You will not pass the NICS check.

I thought only a felony conviction disqualifies a person?

I think it's deeper than that. Violence is to our society today was sex was to Victorian society. It's taboo, but we're obsessed with it. Points for anyone who can name the book I stole that from :)
 
lols, this is the funniest thread i've ever seen :D

my mom: "son, you have a lot of knives, and they're expensive too. that's a waste of money" | (i just have maybe 12 knives, all user grade and mostly under 100 bucks) "nah, i knew some knifenuts that filled their drawers with much more expensive knives" | "i wonder why people got so reckless with their money" | "Mom. you have 2 drawer full of handbags more pricey than my knives" | "Would you stop talking back to me"

i live in West Papua, Indonesia, where almost everyone carries their 14"-20" machete/big scary knives without sheath even when they entered my office and everyone i meet still asks "why do you carry that knife, do you want to kill someone with it" -- i don't think i ever used my Mora Neverlost to stab someone....

Nope, next time you buy a gun read the fine print, in particular question "C" on the form: "Have you been convicted in any court of a felony, or any other crime, for which the judge could have imprisoned you for more than one year, even if you received a shorter sentence including probation?

Some misdemeanors can be punishable by more than 1 year and will prohibit firearm ownership of those convicted of them. Although now that I think about it I am not sure "concealed weapons" is one of those misdemeanors.
 
I was at Taco Bell I had just finished eating and I took out my sak to get the toothpick and a lady who had kids with her jumped up and came over to me. She then started to yell at me and tell me that my sak was a weapon, that it was illegal to own a knife, dangerous, and a bad influence on her kids. That’s when I flipped over my bag and just pointed to a sog seal pup elite strapped to the webbing this made her grab her kids and run out of there saying “he has a knife he is possessed by the devil” when the cops got there they found her hiding in her car and that she was on drugs. But the best part was the look on her face when the cop patted me down and checked my bag for knifes and after finding 11 knifes just let me have them back and let me on my way. some times you just have to love Texas cops.
 
That knife handle looks like an avocado. (One of my textured handles done in black)

What I have been asked about me in general - "You make knives? Why are you so violent?"

^ I tried to tell her I find it relaxing but no joy. This was when I was reprofiling the Recon Scout too so it wasn't a small knife.

Reprofiling in bed? I wouldn't let my girlfriend do that either. Touching up an edge is to be encouraged at any time... but reprofiling?
 
Not a quote, but an actual rule when I, as a child, was just getting into knives, etc. "NO TOMAHAWKS IN THE KITCHEN!"...later amended to: "Okay, if you need to use your tomahawk in the kitchen, please use a cutting board so you don't scratch the counter."

"So how do you close it? Ouch, damn!" (A friend grabbing the edge and attempting to force shut my Pocket Bushman, a steal at $10).

"Put that switchblade away!" (A coworker who saw me opening a food packet with a Buck 110...yeah, I know, it's ridiculous).

"Holy ****, that's a big knife. Overcompensating for something?" (Same coworker, Kershaw Leek, 3 inch blade...ouch).

"Don't use a piece of stone to sharpen your knife, here, I have one of those 3 second electric sharpeners." (My treasured custom fixed blade, met with a vehement NO! This is a new, clean 800 grit water stone, and I'll be dead in a hole before I let you put this knife in that monster you call a sharpener!).
 
A friend I made a bowie style knife for ( nice one , 100+ year old materials , sulky spring for blade , ancient fence post for handle ) a wedding gift ,
one of his friends was looking at it , and asked who made it and on being told it was me , the response was
No way , I know him , hes a christian , he wouldnt make something like this "

the weirdest tho was
" havent seen one of them in years" .. the guy on the xray machine as he handed my back my wallet and keys as I entered the clean zone at Sydney Airport
he was talking about the Mercator cat knife on my keys ...... same guy confiscated my mother inlaws wooden letter opener when she came thru right after me .
