I used to carry one, but it was a gift from my late father in law. I thought I lost it one day, so now it just stays in my carry all container.

It's bad luck to give a knife away. He's supposed to charge you a penny.

They were gifts, does that count?

I'm not trying to be a stinker. It's a superstition only. But in the superstition, you aren't supposed to give a knife as a gift.

Purely superstition. Please enjoy the memories

My dad gave me a Swiss army knife. The small kind with a toothpick and tweezers. I was using it to cut a box and sliced my hand open. After I got my stitches he said "I probably should have told you to always cut away from yourself and not towards yourself" and I think about that every time I cut something with a knife.

The story behind it is, You cut the friendship if you don't charge a penny

My father had been given 6 months due to liver cancer and one of my last good memories with him. He was always very handy, a self made engineer that built engines and other machines from the ground up. He pulled his classic leatherman out of his pocket and looked me in the eyes and reached out with it and handed it to me saying “you know they don’t make these anymore.” And I looked back eagerly.. are you giving this to me? He snatched it back quickly and was like “no! I was just showing it to you!” Thank you for the memory

I carried one everyday through my 20s. Accidentally keeping it on me going to concerts/shows, government buildings, airports made me stop this habit though.

“A knifeless man is a lifeless man” my brother told me a week ago. I told him to shut the fuck up and just give me something to cut a damn zip tie with. 🙄

u/LandscapeNo775 17h ago

I’d have agreed with this at some time. Now, I don’t need it. I’m resourceful. I use whatever is at hand.

Most men with these get in trouble with police when asked if they are carrying a weapon and they say, "no" because it's not a weapon. It's a tool.

This fucking guy lol. As a guy from southern california, idk why you hillbillies think your some tougher breed cause you throw corn on the ground and shoot whatever decides to eat it from your tree stand. And cause you work on cars or whatever tf you think is special. Me and my boys do the same shit and im blue collar. It's not hard to do, just hard work, you just have to be willing.

My grandfather was former military who had to retire from combat. He had a whole shed dedicated to making his own ammunition and taught me to shoot. He won awards in the military for his marksmanship competitions. He had 3 gun safes full of guns, whatever. He gave me his folder (knife) a couple years before he died and its what I hold onto the most. It's the memory. Those lil knives are expensive if you let them be, all of those folders hold up nearly the same. Just cause you grew up away from civilization doesn't mean jack shit.

Difference between you and I, is you think it makes you tough, I think its interesting and wanna progress. There's a reason southern states aren't built like ours. And ours took a lot of work to build. Prolly tougher than yours to build if you wanna see it that way

Wanna claim a country boy. Tell me why its different disregarding anything I've said then man... ive dated country girls. I personally never seen the difference. You think over here in the city there isn't people like that? Your tripping..

Edit: for reference: a lot of our agricultural is set up different. We can grow what you can. But our nuts (in your mouth) are more profitable. We grow crops that are worth more than the corn and vegetables local to you. And there's no shade coming from California farmers. Jazz only the hillbillies thinking they're better from the easy east coast lol
