Favorite knife related sayings? quotes?

Post by TripleF »

A few years ago my brother in-law said, "A man without a knife is a man without a life."

That has stuck with me like super glue.

Got any to share?

"life is too short to carry a cheap knife" has always been my favorite even though I have carried some cheap ones in my time.

Roger (yerout) referring to a non- buffed full bladed knife as an "Honest Ole Knife". I love that description. Mr.Blister(tongue in cheek) asking an ebayer if the broken blade on knife pictured was a screwdriver. Lead me to refer to POSs as "Mint Julips"

"If your a collector it's not a case of if your going to cut yourself it just case of when!"
I told this to my young 13 year old nephew to whom I gave a new knife and one from my collection.

Glad you like that one. I have it at the top of the home page on my website.

Notice I said it was "paraphrased". Ezekiel actually wrote "sword", not "knife".

I took some huge editorial lattitude.

the femma-nazi crowd won't go for this one, but as a good friend of mine always says;
"brother, if you ain't wearin' a knife, you may as well be wearin' a skirt!"

kudos to gringo! :lol: "hey buddy, i said it was shhh... OOH geez! :shock:... uh, never mind." ::facepalm::
