I made a knife
At the steel factory I worked in, some of the older guys made knives as a hobby. A few were really good at it, selling them at shows etc. So I decided to have a go:
- I used the wrong stainless steel, they told me, so it wouldn't take an edge;
- ran out of time, so made a simple handle out of beaten copper tubing;
- put the thing in my pocket;
- picked up a box, which rubbed against the knife in my pocket;
- said knife slashed through the fabric, and in to my hand. Blood everywhere.
- Cue language. Knife went flying in some random direction, where I expect that it killed a kitten.
No more knife-making for me, then.
