I had this happen once, a buddy (former Marine) asked if I had a knife he could borrow, while we were at my daughters birthday party. I just reached in my pocket and handed him my Spyderco Native. Five minutes later, he hands it back to me and says, " Sorry man, here you go." I just thought he meant sorry for asking to borrow my knife, but he really meant "sorry for turning your knife into a decent screwdriver. I just laughed about it. But, it did teach me to ask what someone needs my knife for. With some of the answers I have received, I seriously wondered if these people had a decent pocketknife in their pocket and just did not want to use it for the God awful purpose that they wanted mine for.
