Lots of tough talk about not loaning knives on here. Had a knife maker who posts on this site mail me his favorite knife for me to check out/use. Truth be known, I bet most of those that post on this site would hand me their knife if I asked. Far too many great posters here that would begrudge a fellow outdoors man a cutting tool. Most here mail knives before they receive payment and I've yet to hear of anyone getting burned by a regular.

The difference being that most people on here are knife people and thus conversant with the issues that arise with the use of another man's personal edged tool.
And that is a minute percentage of the population...most dipsticks out there seem to enjoy stuffing peoples gear.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Not sure why you are directing that at me, but for the record, I was referring to someone abusing something I lent them that was as nice as one of Ricks folders. I know some/many may just consider one of his folders a "tool" but I'm new to this stuff and I consider his knives works of art to be used as intended.

Sorry Finn, surely wasn't meaning to direct my comment at you, or anyone in particular. I'm guilty of hitting the reply button and THEN engaging my brain. I totally agree with your comment regarding the loaning of a deluxe, finely crafted, cutting tool. I'll never let anyone use my Todd Davison folder, heck not sure I'll even trust myself to use it.

I'd sooner leave home without my wallet than without my knife. Always have it on me.

I gave my 20 year old daughter a Benchmade Snody a few years back and she won't even let ME use it.....
