Background before posting. My bestie and I had set-up at Ft. Wayne Coliseum gun show many years ago. We had Emerson knives displayed on a fire resistant table covering aka polymer blanket. We warned a guy that the knives are razor sharp. He said:
" Don't worry. I am a knife expert."
A couple minutes of examining and the guy puts the knife down and kinda hurriedly headed off. The knife was askew on the display so Jefferson went to adjust it and he sees deep arterial blood and notifies me. I grab my medic kit and start after the guy to assist in his first aid. I catch him and apply a hasty pressure cuff and he goes off to get stitched up. I get back and his buddy is there buying the knife. We thought he was buying it for his fallen comrade. He says:
"I seen what it did to him. That's a sharp knife and I want it!"
He bought it and we didn't think anything about it. The 1st guy comes back all stitched up and wants to buy the knife that 'bit' him. We tell him the guy that was with him bought it. He was P.O.'ed!! They must've met up and came back to our tables. 2nd guy was gloating about his purchase. We just all fell out laughing. Good times at the Fort!!!
After another similar episode involving a young man, I bought an aluminum hard sided display case with Lexan face and lock.
