Whats the Stupidest thing someone has ever done to/with your knife?

Nothing. The ONLY people I let touch my knives are close family who understand that it's a cutting tool and not a toy. I don't lend my knife out to people. If they need something cut, I ask them what needs to be cut, and I do it myself.
 
There are very few people who i hand knives to nowadays. The last idiot cut his hand open and ran to his home for a band aid...so i had to explain exactly what happened. Ive gotten to the point where i carry most knives discreetly and if they happen to figure out i have a knife they cannot touch it. I only have one good friend who i can actually hand a knife to now and fully trust him with it.
 
A couple months ago when autos were legalized in Indiana, I went on a buying spree. I had friends in town and my best friend who is also a knife lover. We were showing off our new buys, I had an ultratech and a couple lightning otf's. Everyone was firing them and having fun drinking some beer, when one of my friends girlfriends takes one of the lightnings and fires it into a beer bottle :eek: cured the tip over...me and my buddys jaws drop and just look at eachother. I was just thankful it wasnt the ultratech! And it was the lightning I was going to sell. So no harm no foul, I ground it off amd you couldnt tell.

And 2 weeks ago my sister was over chopping carrots...with my wusthof...on the granite countertop..
smh. I had to scold her..
 
I've never had anybody abuse any of my knives but when I was 15 I tried to cut a telephone pole down with a Swiss army knife, it closed on my point finger and cut it right to the bone, through ligaments, tendons and nerves, bad use of a knife.

In regards to the post quoted below, I know a Dell laptop will stop a 9mm hardball bullet read the link below to see the pics of how my hard drive stopped a 9mm.

I a releated note I had my very good friend put a 10mm hole in the star on our Xmas tree 2 years ago. On top of me being pissed about the ND (negligent discharge) IN MY HOUSE I was also somewhat upset cause it was my brand new G29 I hadn't even shot once myself yet, needless to say the only time he's asked to hold another gun of mine was when at the range with the barrel pointed in a safe direction.

We still use that same star!

About 30 years ago I lent out a Normark Super Swede. It was handed back closed. The next day I opened it and the tip was snapped off.
 
You're comparing apples to oranges. I'm not a " sebenza guy" either. I just bought it. It seemed like a very nice knife, so I bought one. I may buy a strider someday for different applications. When I pull that small 21 out in a public area, I get fewer looks then if I bust out my zt 560. I will use that knife, I'm not a collector. I won't use it as a pry bar, or to try to cut a car door in half.
Plus, it was brand new, out of the box for 2hrs, $500, and being used in a way it wants intended to be used.
Enjoy your strider, I hear they're great knives too.
 
The stupidest thing I have done is.I was usin my favorite WW2 camillus pilot's knife made in 1884 to skin a fox. I got done laid my knife on the tailgate of my truck a friend of mine called me over to do somethin and I left the knife on the tailgate next day I drove to school the knife had fallen off not too far from my house saw it on the road the day after I lost it picked it up and discovered the guard bent almost broke off the blade was a little scratched not bent however (One extremely tough knife haha.)The leather handle was scratched good amount and thats all pry got ranover 30 times.It saddens me greatly I left it on tailgate i ruined a WW2 knife.I still carry it today as my huntin knife though.
 
Scraped bent metal and old grease from a Axel surface of a trailer. Right in front of me he did it so fast all I could do was choke up and wildly thrash my hands about until he gave me knife back. After that I didn't even care that my trailer broke its Axel and I was stranded in the middle of no where for the next few days...poor zt 560.
 
Once upon a time, I was in the Army and our supply guy had traded away god knows what to get us a handful of US Navy Mk 1 deck knives. Essentially, they are a Marine KaBar in a hard sheath, like that for a bayonet. I scored one. I used to sit in the day room and just lovingly sharpen the crap out of that thing with a small ceramic stone. It shaved hair and everyone knew it.

So, late one afternoon we are out blowing stuff up (in this case a 60mm mortar WP round) and my partner wanted to borrow my knife. If I had thought about it at all, I'd have figured he was going to cut some time fuze, but no. He took my razor-sharp KaBar and DUG A HOLE WITH IT.

I kid you not! LITERALLY DUG A HOLE IN THE GROUND WITH MY KNIFE!

The more I think about it, the more I suspect I've never really forgiven him for that.

The resulting explosion was pretty, though.
 
My small Bucklite folder was used in an attempt to open a car door when someone locked herself out. The tip was broken off, but it was reground to make the knife functional again. Another Bucklite was used by my wife to pry shellfish off a rock - I had to explain that a knife is not a pry bar.:confused:
 
Asked to borrow my new, shiny satin Spyderco Paramilitary 2 and.....

Stabbed the "punch-top" on a Miller Lite while shouting "IT'S MILLER TIME".....

He couldn't even close the knife :(
 
When I was with 10MTN I have several guys borrow a knife and cut commo wire with it. They didn't ask for a multi-tool or something that was right for the job, instead they would just trash my knife edge! After it happened a couple of times I put a lanyard on my knife and told them they could use it but only standing next to me. Cut down on the commo wire morons that way.
