Ahhhhh!!! Don't you hate...

[Coop de Ville]

I showed a friend at work my new ronin (never so much as shaved a hair with it)...

He said "Wow that's a sweet knife.. What do you use it for?"

He then proceded to start slicing and gouging the wooden bench he was sitting on!!!!!!! :eek:

Ahhhhhhhh "Thank you, so glad you like it."

I dont let friends hold my high dollar knives after having one drop a Chinook on my foot (thank God I was wearing a steel toed boot and the knife was allright). Whether it be a Chinook, CIvilian, Microtech or Sebenza, it is a look but dont touch for NKP.

I learned my lesson a long time ago when I handed a Rob Dalton, "Proto" 6" switchblade to a friend and after he pressed the button he tried grabbing the blade to push it back in as he slid his hand down the lenght of the blade and nearly cut his entire hand off....now it's a look but don't touch mister.... Doc :D

[markg]

yea, I hate when people do this... Why do they feel the need to stab it into a tree?

Trees are instantly recognized as a source of danger, and need to be dealt with in a timely fashion...ever hear the expression LIFE OR LIMB!!!!.....Doc :D

[Puyallupknifegu]

I just don't show that many people my knives... :rolleyes:

[fellyjr]

That's why i like posting pic's of my knives. You CAN look but it's IMPOSSIBLE to touch!! :D :D

[Manix Guy 2]

Even experienced people can cut themselves . I had a Lum Encounter sent to me direct from Japan and took it to work . Rick asked to show it off to knife guys in shop , he brought it back later that day two guys cut themslves checking it out !

U, I hate that. One time I showed one knife to a friend and he was stupid enough to try the sharpness on a marble. Obviously I freaked out and than in all his wisdom he started to slice a chair as he realized marble isn't good. Man, was I angry. It's really odd how some people treat knifes. I mean, c'mon, use some common sense.

[ruxton]

...stupid enough to try the sharpness on a marble.

:eek:

I let a friend play with a brand new, fresh out of the box, civilian. He closed it on his fingers, cutting 2 of them, then he opened it, releasing his fingers from it's jaws, then proceeded to drop it, (all in one fluid motion) on the way to the ground the tip effortlessly slid through his jeans into his leg. 3 nasty cuts in about 2 seconds. I was tempted to make him a medal.

He's since bought his own civilian though. :cool: Presumably that little incident convinced him of it's effectiveness.

[lerman]

most of the people i shaw my knives to, collect knives too, so it doesn't heaped allot, i remember theta once i pulled out my buck Rush to cut something and this guy how was with my friend asked to look at it, i gave it to him , he haled it by the tip aimed it to a tree and told me it's a vary nice thrower :D :D :D - buck rush for thous how don't know is a assisted opener liner lock :D :D , i immediately toke it from him and didn't know if to cray or laugh.

[224477]

I dont do that either....

Every time a jerk makes something bad to the knife, last time I was having goose skin on my back as I was standing on a pier and watchin how a fellow trys to wrist snap my C07 direction water :eek: !!!

Hopefully the knife stayed in his hand, because otherwise he would be diving the whole day for it :mad:

Since then, nobody better touches my knives... Only people who also have favour in quality cutlery, because they know how to handle it..

[kwakster]

Now i wanna tell my little story too,

A female customer was in our shop a couple of weeks ago, and she asked if she could handle the Civilian.
Once she held it, she slid her thumb lengthwise over the edge, with the statement that it wasn't nearly as sharp as i had told her.
She then gave the knife back to me, and asked to see another one.

Only thing was, blood was already dripping from her thumb on our carpet, but she didn't notice it, i had to point it out to her.

Beautiful things those Spydies, don't you think ?
:D

I enjoy showing off my knives. I always warn people though.

What always amazes me is that people cannot seem to close a liner lock. When they figure where the lock is they always try push the lock toward the spine... :confused:

Ya not nearly sharp enough. I had a friend try that with the ZDP Jess Horn. Not a good Idea.

Heheheh...I see more people cut themselves with the C12 than any other knife. Either they dont realize how sharp it is and pretend it is a battle toy (why do people run thumbs over serrations????), they do not realize that you are essentially working a 2 plane blade, or they have heard about the tip being 'weak' (which I can personally vouch it isnt) and decided to do something stupid with it and really slice themselves good. Needless to say, I only let my buddies who have seen me use the knife and arent morons handle my C12's.

I get enough comments on how my dodo and crossbill look scary (ok, I admit, the crossbill is much more knife than I usually need). Maybe that's why I haven't gotten a bigger blade. Although, the civilian just looks freaking cool. It is on my list, but after I get all the blades I want that I can actually carry.

I don't have many good stories like those, the worst I get now is "can I borrow that so I can go kill somebody?" (refering to my black SE dodo, and yes, he was joking).

I uni to day we where making egg launchers (team building) I was cutting some string with my knife and some one asked to borrow it. I gave it to him and with in a second he was complaining about 'this $%**£& sharp knife', he had cut himself :rolleyes: OK I had just ran it over the sharpmaker last night :p
