best knife quote?
perhaps there are many, however, one of my heroes, james keating (the foudner of the infamous chinook) says it best...

"Isn't that just like a wop? Brings a knife to a gun fight."
I'm sure someone will find out where that quote is from. :D
Seriously:
"Life's too short to carry crappy knives."
is a quote I have from someone's sig line in the german knife forum.
The original reads "Das Leben ist zu kurz, um poplige Messer zu tragen."
Certainly something we all live by. :)

Awww, someone beat me to exposing the quote. :p
I was told by a humanities teacher in high school that William S. Boroughs (the beat writer and subculture dude from the '50s or whatever) supposedly was accused of murdering a woman (wife? girlfriend?) in another country, and there was a quote attributed to him:
"So long as you use a knife, there's still a little love left."
It's sick, but it's knife-related.

War to the knife. Knife to the hilt.

There is a world of differance between a knife fight and killing a man with a knife. If knives are in your line of work, learn to kill quickly, not to duel with an opponent.
It shouldn't be a fight at all.

A mans strength and wisdom is much like a fine sword, refined by fire folded by a expert craftsman and finally when you have a perfect sword or man you are sharpened and honed and you never loose your edge if your Maker is God the Father and Jesus is your Saviour.
