coin for a knife

[John Swain]

a very close friend gave me a knife. has anybody heard of recripocating this gift with a coin?

[Chester Thompson]

I have heard that some people believe that if you give knife that they have to give them a coin or the friendship will end, is that what you are talking about?

[Ringneck]

Yes, I made a knife for a friend and he gave me a coin. It is supposed to keep the friendship from getting cut or severed.

Thanks Chester. I have heard different stories about a knife gift. This man and I have been friends since highschool and this was a 54th birthday gift.

I'm Thinkig about making him a Canadian coin pendant. They seem to embrace wildlife in their money alot more than we do in the good old USA

I had a great uncle "give" me a shotgun. I had to give him 2 bits for the gun. He told me it was bad carma to "give" a knife of a gun to someone.

I first heard of that coin with a knife gift thing to keep from severing the friendship in the movie The edge. Pretty good movie.

Growing up I had heard of this and that you are never to say thank you for receiving a plant.  If you give thanks for the plant it will die since we don't own living things.
