Too true. But sometimes folks do have a knife that is just for show. I have one a Randall Vietnam era style survival knife.I noted that the majority of the 'bragging rights' knives in the pictures on this post don't seem to show signs of wear or use.

Funny thing about that. I have 2 Chinese knives. One is a full tang Case knock-off and the other is a small folder. I have had the Case knock-off ( No fake label, it's just almost identical to an actual Case that I own.) for 10 years and it looks almost new. The steel is actually too hard, in that it's a helluva process to sharpen. However, it holds an edge forever so I don't need to sharpen it too often, so minimal wear. The folder is a Wilcor. Though an American company, the small print says the knives are made FOR Wilcor to their specs. Chinese made. I don't know what Wilcor's specs are, but this is also a tough little knife- and I rarely deal with folders ( Even the best are dependent on that single little pin).I noted that the majority of the 'bragging rights' knives in the pictures on this post don't seem to show signs of wear or use.
Standard practice and very, very common practice in the world of knife collecting.I noted that the majority of the 'bragging rights' knives in the pictures on this post don't seem to show signs of wear or use.
Had to laugh. I was down in Florida a couple months ago and getting ready to fish the ocean and trying to teach my fishing novice buddy how to tie an Albright knot. Tied it and was cutting the tag ends off and took my eyes off what I was doing and of course cut the line and dug the very sharp Benchmade blade into my thumb knuckle. D'oh! A novice move myself.Usually, it's mine though.
"Watch what you're doing " might be a good title for a whole new thread...
Finger nail clippers! Toe nail clippers for larger diameter. Don't use on wire leaders, that's what the needle nose are for.
If a person is like my husband no need for toe nail clippers, just bite them like he does!
Was cutting 30lb braid and clippers don't cut it easily if at all.same goes for teeth and I'll add, my teeth are pretty flattened out for using my choppers for cutting mono since I was a kid. Even had dentists ask me it I had my teeth ground down. I don't and can't cut with them anymore.
Yu funny Wendy...If a person is like my husband no need for toe nail clippers, just bite them like he does!
Well, I'm sure he is at least respectful and pays attention to where he spits them out.If a person is like my husband no need for toe nail clippers, just bite them like he does!
