Pucker up, you silver tongued devil!😘

Ever do something to prove to yourself that you're still an idiot?
Old Hen & Pullet went to murder city so the kid could pick up supplies for her work. I asked 'em if they'd stop past China Freight and pick me up a knife I wanted. Chinese copy of a Buck 119, which I have several of. Figured it would be handy if needed for some nefarious act as I could just drop it where it was used.
I pull it out of the package and swipe my thumb across the blade sideways like I always do to check for sharpness. Meh. I slide my finger ever so lightly down the blade.
Yep, I'm still an idiot. Got the booboo thumb to prove it. 🤪
 
hippie, do you have a 112 buck folding knife...I've had on in my tool box for decades...
At least a half a dozen. My last two were three bills a piece. Mastadon tooth scales. Handy little knives.
But do any of ya'll have a boarding cutlass?
Yep. Even got one from the Queen's guard. Lots of Chinese antique swords, too.
 
But do any of ya'll have a boarding cutless?
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. I got it over 50 years ago. My FIL was a fencing champion, and taught me cutlass/sabre. He had wooden cutlasses, with helmets, thick gloves, and padded outfits... so you could swing away any way you wanted.

What you found out VERY quickly was that just coming in swinging like a movie star will get you clopped in the head, hand, gut, and hiney <-- Once for each way you try to come at a skilled hand with every trick you can invent on the spot. It most ricky-tick aint an axe.

I taught my sons whatever I could without the wooden cutlasses, just sabres and my real cutlass. I quit when I only had two left. 🙄
 
Izzat hash on the gloves?
I don't trim with gloves. I like rolling the resin into little balls straight off my fingers. I've been told it's easier to recover off of gloves if ya put 'em in the freezer first. Never tried it.
