[TheForge] Knives as gifts

Tue Dec 11 11:33:00 2001

I second the 'Yea' to a good knife being an excellent wedding pressy!
However, tradition says that you shouldn't give knives as gifts (bad luck
thingy), so one always includes a coin, with which the recipient 'buys' the
knife(was a penny, but I'm not sure now, what with inflation and all...).
Anyone else heard of this?
