I think its a real boost to the ego when some one coments on my knives. Stuff like nice looking knife or ohh man thats sharp. Anyone else get a sick pleasure from stuff like that?
 
Na i usually get "That knife cost WHAT!!!!"
Or from somebody that knows me better "How much was that one"
 
Hey Gunner your not alone I get the same feeliing when someone coments on one of my knivees and yes I kida like to show them off a little. Knives are cool to me and I have been collecting them for a long time buy new ones when the budget alows.
 
I was at a party and the host was cooking hot dogs and could not get the bags open and I gave him my BM 3500 well you know he had to cut his hand. Turn to me and said I guess this is a serious knife ,I liked that comment. MIke
 
I was in a House of Knives in B.C., the young snots behind the counter were being, well, snotty. I noticed they were both carrying and asked what they were. With far too much pride one pulled out a beat up AFCK the other a Pentagon. I casually pulled out my MT SOCOM, you should have seen their faces. They ended up letting me muck about with all of the knives in the store after that

Gunner,

You're not sick at all. I think it is a matter of pride and personal satisfaction to know that one's tools are in the best shape and condition possible. Receiving compliments is a nice plus.

I usually get comments like "Damn this thing is sharp. I would hate to piss you off" or "Man this blade is sweet". Gives me a warm fuzzy.

TomW,
I usually get the "How much...?"

A lot of the folks at work who were originally afraid of my knives are now ones who bring me their kitchen cutlery from home to sharpen. Sharp knives are a joy to use, I don`t care what your politics are! I love it when I can cut paper into little ribbons with their formerly dull, POS kitchen knives. It usually gets an "Oh, wow..!!" and I must admit I like it!
 
My daymaker is when someone asks to see my daily carry. I always warn them that the knife is very sharp, and to please be careful. When I hear" ****, you weren't lying", I'm a happy camper.
 
The biggest compliment is when they sit there and slowly open and close the knife in quiet awe. You know they ar ethinking "what can I sell to get one?"

Had this guy who looked like he had only two hours of sleep the night before and downed six espresso just to stay awake. He was completely wired. Nuts, but not in a dangerous sort of way.

I guess he noticed the clip on the pocket and said, "Can I see your pocket knife?" I rolled my eyes because I generally feel kind of awkward when it comes to talking about knives, guns, etc., with people I don't know. I pulled out my REKAT Carnivour and showed it to him with the blade closed, then I put it back in my pocket.

He didn't ask to touch it. What he DID do was say, "Man, that's a big pocket knife." Then he goes on, "I got a pocket knife too, a Kershaw. I'll bring it in and show you next time. I'm gonna cut you up with it." I rolled my eyes and rubbed my forehead with one of my hands, feeling the awkwardness of the situation increasing. He then tried to recover, "Well, it's this small." and made out about 4 inches between his fingers indicating its relative size. I shook my head. He rambled on a bit, but I had ignored him by then.

What I REALLY wanted to do when he said, "I'm gonna cut you up." was to snap my the blade open. I think he'd get a kick out of just how fast the Carnivour can be deployed if necessary. Ah well, mama raised me to be polite, but the term "MORON" did cross my mind.

Wow. That's about the time I send the bastich packing. I admire your restraint.

The other day, we were at a local Perkins restaurant. My SO was sitting in a booth waiting for me to come back to the table with her (by which I mean MY) Spydie Native clipped where passersby could see it in her pocket. The busboy said "Nice blade" as he walked by and it kind of creeped her out, but from the way she described it he was being sincere and he didn't bother us the rest of the night. I told her if she carries a knife with a chrome clip with the Spyder on it, she should know people will comment. She's new to carrying. Me, I like the look on people's faces as they try to figure out where my knife came from. . . .

BTW, Yekim, what's up? Haven't heard much out of you! They decided not to give out the firewall settings so we could use ICQ this year, so it'll have to be email if you want to get in touch . . .
