And the locked "knife display"? Here are my knives, I really like knives, I like to display that I really like knives, would you like to talk about knives? Can I talk at you for 30 minutes about sharpening techniques? Perhaps you'd like to visit my katana collection in the other room? Lol. All kept near his fedora collection no doubt.
All in the name of friendly ribbing though, hobbies are cool and often niche. I'm often a little bemused by people's esoteric or nerdy hobbies.
But I'm scared to ask if this dude even has kids, or if he's just storing his kitchen knives in a locked box out of sheer paranoia. There's safe and then there's... whatever this is.
Well, considering that some of those knives would sell for a few hundred, and include irreplaceable antiques, I'll err on the side of caution, thank you.
Fwiw, my kid is trained. They've been doing martial arts with me for years, when my body lets me. They were part of the small class I was teaching for a while too. Dunno if martial arts as a hobby is that esoteric or not, but it is something I've done since my twenties, and I'm fifty now.
And, really, compared to shit like funko (funco? I can't remember how it's spelled), at least knives have history and aren't made of plastics that fuck up the environment.
But, my dude, for someone "friendly ribbing", you're really fucking snarky about mentioning me having kids. That crosses a line, you dig? So, if you really were just playing, and not being a douche on purpose, maybe avoid that kind of joke in the future, it's such am asshole thing to say. I'm choosing to assume the best here, that you think snarky "ribbing" with or about a stranger to someone other than that person is friendly in any way, instead of assuming you're only being a dick. But, you know, if it walks like a dick and quacks like a dick, it might just be a dick ;)
