You Ever Wonder..."Where has this knife been?"

[Buckaholic]

Just a random thought as I was using my 1995 119 in the kitchen to slice up some chorizo.

"What ugly crud has this knife been through before I got it?"


Feel free to hijack or whatever...I just wanted to "think outloud" with ya peeps...

goose as long as the knife looks like new you will probably be alright but if it looked like it had been dunked in acid or some witch's cauldron i probably wouldnt use it
around food i only use knives that i know where they have been so that rules out my edc cause i dont always know where ive been

 

[Joe Houser]

Sometimes its best not to wonder...I posted a while back about an elk handled 119 from the 1950's that I got. Turns out it was used by the original owner to kill his wife.
The more I think about it, the more I think that knife should be destroyed, or tossed into the lake or something.

I used my SAK edc not long ago to remove a nasty splinter from the meat of my palm. As you gentlemen know, it's not as grusome as it sounds. My girlfriend, however, was not very impressed. She's a nurse...so I got the "infection from cross contamination" lecture. I said "It's not like I'm taking out my own spleen!" Women...

well i have cut my self offten enught that i some times wander also
esp if it gets red!

on that evdance knife
it is no more responsable for a act then a babby is
the act was in the person not the tool

bare in mind many would like to clame that for some object
unless it come from the police i would discount it ...
i had LEO friends and i worked in a foundry later and i can conferm what he said
unless it is a HIGH dollor item it gets tossed in with a bgatch of steel with motor blocks and seased guns and melted down...

i watched it myself so i know it happens a lot...
and if so it is not diffrent then the 110 that time in court
it was not someting buck did ...

now if you still feel you need to relive your self of it
that is some thing that could get me "fixed" a al buck knife!
yea i am first on that list of offer if it needs to go!
hee hee

That 119 needs to have its demons exorcised...

 

[Joe Houser]

But do I have to give it away? Isn't there a time honored process of purification I could perform on it? Maybe if I used it to field dress an elk, one of its intended purposes when Al made it?
Sorry Dave...

I think there is...Do you have a copy of "Tom Sawyer"???...or maybe it was "Huckleberry Finn"...I'm pretty sure it was in one of those...

 

[ehhh]

I bought a Buck/Strider 881 in pieces and the thing was missing the screws, pivot, washers and clip. The tip was also damaged and the entire knife just beaten. I've often wondered where that has been...Should make a good beater though

Joe,
The fact that it is in a passive collection is, I believe, a fitting purification of its earlier use. It wasn't the knife alone after all that committed the crime, but its owner.
Just my two cents,
Mike

 

[bigfish44]

True story. Afellow I worked a long time ago picked dog crap out of his vibram boot heel and cut an apple up with the same knife at lunch

 

[Scott Hartman]

I've acquired some knives that I've wondered "where hasn't this been, or what hasn't this knife been used for?" As a child, hunting, I carried a shotgun with the crime date and case number engraved in the stock, and sat in the woods wondering why some guy had shot his wife. Now I'm grown and know why, but I was always told "the gun didn't go off by itself"

For Joe's 119, Some Native American tribes have pruification rights as part of their culture. I have been to a ceremony at house where someone lay dead on the floor for several days. Cedar was burnt, ceremony was conducted, everyone felt better about it. Ripping up carpet to get rid of cutout hole helped also. Maybe they used a Buck knife to cut the hole..

...???...Did I miss something here???...

Are you talking about purifying a *house* because someone was found dead after several days???

That is good to know...That's probably how I'll go...

 

[omaha-beenglockin]

Not the arrow but the Indian.

As said before---if you're still having misgivings---I'm sure I can find a good home for it.
