What's the dumbest question you've got about a knife?

Dumbest question? Who makes your blades. This when everything on my table indicates that I make everything myself.
Most encouraging question? "Do you make damascus?"that was asked by a young female cashier at the supermarket where I bought a copy of Blade. She also knew that Ebay stuff from Pakistan was not "real" damascus in her words. There is hope for the youth of America!:D

When my wife asks questions like "do you really need more knives." I simply say, "do you really need another pair of shoes?" That is usually the end of the conversation.

I guess I don't get many opportunities for people to see my EDC that don't know me, because I don't remember many questions.
 
Only dumb questions I ever get is "can I borrow your knife?" From non knife people which the answer is HELL NO, or my wife asking if I really need another knife, HELL YES I need another knife.

We are out there. Few and far between, but there none the less.

The best so far has been "Why is it clipped to your front pocket? That's only for self defense."
I get a lot of "Are you planning on stabbing someone???" and the classic "What do you need a knife for?"

BTW I wasn't implying that this would be a dumb question, or that anyone who doesn't know is dumb.
I had somehow only just recently noticed it there, and started thinking about weather people knew what it was.
Something funny I thought about is how there's a dagger ( i.e. a weapon ) in the logo for BF'S when the knife community is fighting to spread the message that knives people carry are just daily use cutting tools.

Good point, forum admins should consider replacing knife in loge with shipple friendly version ex: butter knife in hot pink?
 
The next time someone asks you, "why are you are carrying a knife" simply reply, "if I told you, I would have to kill you".
 
I've probably been asked most of the ones mentioned. Except price. Oddly nobody has ever asked that. Come to think of it, people I tend to be around almost never discuss what things cost unless it is very pertinent.

If a casual acquaintance asks to use my knife, I ask, "What do you want me to cut?" I will not loan them my knife.

I have a couple female friends I trust with my knives. They carry knives but usually in a purse so not as accessible as mine. They make the mistake of asking "Do you have your knife on you?" I give them my best sarcastic, WTF look, and then they quickly change the question to "May I borrow your knife?" I'm getting them trained, slowly.

Now that would be ridiculous, but a buck 110, KA bar, or Swiss army knife would be nice :D
I personally think the v42 makes for a cool logo, but I can just see the media finding away to use it against us if a situation ever arises.
