All About Pocket Knives

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?

My favorite is from the Croc Dundee movie; "That's not a knife....this is a knife."

Only the knife knows the heart of a pineapple.

"Rattling a saber makes noise, drawing one does not …"

my step dad used to say " that knife is so dull you could ride to town and back on it" or "duller than a fro"

"Got tight on absinthe last night. Did knife tricks."
— Ernest Hemingway

just like a dumb hick, brings a knife to a gunfight

"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.

"I will cut you, b i t c h !!"

lol

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"

Case stands for " Cut a sucker easy'' . lol

"The knife is given to be polished, to be sharpened and polished and then placed into the hand of its user." Ezekiel 21:11, Paraphrased.

" you didn't tell me it was THAT sharp!"

"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.

I really like that one Charlie...Wife was wondering what I was doing reading the Bible while on the forum. I told her Easter makes me think of knives and God...great combo!

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.

verse from an old mountain song ... "when I was a kid, all's I wanted was a knife, as I got older all's I wanted was a wife...now that I'm old, I realize all I needed was the knife..." Don't recommend tellin' yer wives that one...

BTW , I LOVE my Beautiful wife and mean no disrespect to the fairer sex...just quotin' the song...

nice Wullie....Here's another gem from the Venerable Mr. B ... upon receiving some new knives, he writes, these..."Came a chargin through the door,
like Opra at an ice-cream store opening.. and one more I likes alot..."Dern these COONS...
Keep showin up like IRS agents to an inheritance." Gotta Luv 'ol B!


edit...forgot one more,,,in describin' the "snap" of a new knife..."Thang snaps tighter than Opra's jowls on a pork loin..."

"I run the blade all the way up to Green River".

Russell and co. Green River; stamped on the tang of their early knives
implying some poor soul took the blade all the way to the tang.

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! "hey buddy, i said it was shhh... OOH geez! ... uh, never mind."
