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

"I see you got a knife there... That's pretty cool, I used to carry one but then I realized my martial arts skills were so good I could take the weapon I was being attacked with and kill them with it"

Me: "Umm. Nice."

Wonders of modern ninjas.


I've got no special story, just the run-of-the-mill 'you could hurt someone with that' comment.



-which I received while sawing through a small plastic pipe with the saw on my Leatherman Wave, so technically it wasn't about one of my knife.
 
Me and one of my friends used the calculator on his phone and added up all the pay on-delivery prices that were shown on all the text messages I had on my phone that the post office sends when a package arrives, and they added up to a bit over 600 euros.
Someone else said 'Have you f***ing idiot spent 600 euros on knives?' I just responded by saying he's probably spent more than that on runescape memberships.
 
Mine went like this. I was running my Spyderco GB over sandpaper at school, then used it to shave as a sharpness test.

One fellow said "Wow, that's sharp. Can it cut a hair lengthwise?" He meant it as a joke.

I said yes.

"BS. No knife can do that."

...soon proved wrong.
 
"Whoa, switchblade!" in reference to my Sage 2. The deployment on the sage 2 is lightning fast but it's definitely not a switch blade.

i replied something to the effect of "well i have to cut things"

the funny thing was the guy givin me a hard time needed to cut something a couple weeks later, he couldnt find anything to do it with and someone said "oh hey man, Matt has a knife" (referring to me) he had to eat his words big time, after that he never bothered me again :D
 
Cool story!

On our last camping trip, my 11 year old son saw me touching up the edge of my Marbles fixed blade by the campfire. In front of everyone he says "Dad, that knife is so sharp, it could stab you in the chest, and come all the way out your back!"

He did not get to use my Marbles that day.
 
At a gun show in Harrisburg several booths selling sharpeners say "Hey do you have a pocket knife? Well let me sharpen that for you!"

"I respond with Nah its ok, I just deboned a moose and it still shaves the nuts off a horse fly"....or something to that affect.

Someone telling me they are going to sharpen my knife MIGHT be the craziest thing they could say.
 
A friend showing me his brand new Frost's stockman "This is the best knife ever made, that I've seen."

A second later, in reference to my Spyderco Bob T Slipit "That is a piece of junk."

When the springs gave out on the above mentioned stockman, he just grabbed another one (he had ordered about twenty of them).

I'm currently trying to get him converted to good knives ;).

Have you had a chance to fill him in on knives?
 
I pulled out my Boker Trance and upon opening my female coworker exclaimed, "Wow, that's a big knife!" :rolleyes:
 
I was showing a buddy of mine my SMF right after I purchased it and he said "that's nice, how much". When I told him he said "for that price it better jump out of you pocket and cut whatever you need then jump back in"! Most non knife people can't understand, my opinion.

I totally agree.

After telling someone how much a knife goes for retail, and then what I paid for it, that usually does the trick. And then tossing in that I could easily sell it, probably at a profit, seems to work wonders with them. That profit stuff is plenty powerful.
 
you know you have trained them well....a Kershaw Leek was given as a shooters gift for the 2007 Ft Benning 3 gun match, and I carried it until retirement... I needed to make some weighing papers for the triplebeam balances so folded a couple of pieces of paper, reached into pocket, flicked the blade open, sliced, folded again,sliced, one handed it closed, then back into my pocket, total time about 3 seconds.... about 5 of my Chem 1s said... "do that again"

Yeah. My boss wondered "how can it be so expensive?", commenting my fällkniven u1 wich I paid 50% of normal price due the sales on fäll's site. I guess that if you start talking about premium steels and materials, they just think of you as snob and fancy person who just wants to brag.

Just like one trainee who likes fishing said "bought quality knife yesterday", wich springs my curiosity and I find out it's Fiskars 4e hollow handle beater knife. Quality is relative.

Other than that, I have been blessed with no stupid comments (other than immature violence hints).
