Something that you'll be seeing from time to time are bits of knife trivia and folklore. Sometimes they'll be their own entry, sometimes they'll slip into the end of a post about something entirely different.
Keep an eye out!
Knife Folklore Fragment of the Week:
The gift of a knife can cut a friendship.
Very common up until the last couple generations, this bit of folklore explains why a couple of pennies would be included in every gift of a knife. After the present was opened, the pennies were then returned to the giver, to pay for the knife so it wasn't a gift.
