Knife as gift= bad mojo??

So my girlfriend bought me a new knife for my upcoming birthday, but when she showed her Grandma what she had bought me, her Grandma told her that she would not let her give me the knife, b/c it's bad luck and that it will "cut the ties of our relationship".

I, of course, thinks that ridiculous, but now my girlfriend doesn't want to give me the damn knife b/c she is paranoid.

Has anybody else ever heard of this crap?

I need a new knife b/c I lost my old one when I flipped my kayak a few weeks back.

 

Nope, when my wife and I were still in the "dating" game, she bought me a Moore Maker trapper w/ the yellow bone handle. We are now happily married and I still use the knife on a daily basis.

Tell her to give you the dang knife.

 

Superstitions are lame.

 

lol

 

Apparently if I give her a penny for the knife, it will supposedly cancel out all bad luck.

Women are so freaking dumb sometimes.

 

My mother in law believes the same crap. She "gave" me a Buck 110 for Christmas a couple of years ago but made me give her a penny. She was adamant about getting that penny too.

 

I think you used a perfect word to describe it: crap.


I remember hearing some weird ones from my grandparents, too. Killed a snake once around them and they swore up and down that it wouldn't die until the sun went down.

 

I actually thought that was true....?

LOL I've also heard, if you get bit by a snapping turtle, it won't let go until it thunders.

Oh... I got a knife for Christmas... we're getting married in August.

 

i think a knife is a GREAT gift... wish my wifey would catch onto that one...

*furiously desires new knife

 

I'd say a penny is a pretty good price for a new knife. Does this mean she has to get you a different gift, since you technically bought your own birthday gift??

 

I've heard It all now!!

 

Let her keep it and you can just borrow it whenever you need it .

 

Tell her to set it under the ladder and you'll grab it on your way through. :D

 

Wait, you flipped your kayak?

Dude thats a bad omen, don't accept a gift until the next time it thunders.

 

If it was a matter of life and death or National Securty I would take the knife, otherwise I'd flip the coin for Insurance.

 

Agreed. You create your own luck.

 

No problem with it provide she doesn't give it to you on a Thursday!No NO No as long as she doesn't give it to you on a rising moon!
Where do people come up with this stuff? Next time you see Grandma I would bring a black cat and break a mirror in front of her!

 

Granny is nuts!!!! My wife bought me a knife 9 yrs. ago, and it's never severed anything other than some deer guts!!!

 

It's a good thing we don't chase them for there brains.:d

 

Well said sir, well said.
