Why can not give knives: signs and superstitions

Why can not give knives: signs and superstitions. Not a single object, except perhaps bread, has as many omens as a knife. And you can’t forget it on the table, and you can put it with a pen only in a certain direction, and much more. But let's reason sensibly. A knife is in itself always a potentially dangerous item. And to receive it as a gift in our country is to directly express trouble. Let’s see what giving for a separate reason means.

For the wedding

It is generally believed that giving knives to the newlyweds is still at the festival to begin to destroy their life together. Say, a sharp edge will cut the newly connected ties. And the family will live in squabbles and quarrels.

But try to argue: an expensive high-quality set of cutlery is a wonderful gift for the bride and groom. But he probably also has knives. What to do? Take a nominal fee. Let the newlyweds give you a small coin or a bill. After all, someone necessarily gave just money, which means that young people have it. The value of money does not matter. It can be at least a penny, at least 100 rubles. The fact of exchange is important. That is, it turns out that you did not give them a set, but sold it. In another way, a deal. And you can buy knives without signs and superstitions.

Secret. No gift knives will cause a quarrel in the new family if the bride and groom love and respect each other's opinions.

For a birthday

There is such a belief that you can’t give a birthday man a knife. Allegedly, soon you will part with him and will no longer be close people. Yes, people tend to blame anything, even a gift knife, for separation or quarrel. But not your bad deeds or an ugly attitude towards others.

What if you got a knife as a birthday present? Here, redemption can help, as in the previous case. Better yet, look into yourself and review your behavior. It is possible that the cutlery has nothing to do with it.

For new year

Or another option. It is argued that every knife giver wishes the donee troubles. Therefore, the device carries a negative energy in it, which means that life in the new year will be so unsweetened.

Well, you can again make a symbolic transaction of sale, thus fooling the internal unclean spirit in the knife. You can refuse such a gift by inventing some harmless, but significant motive. And you can safely take the knife as a gift, bite the tip of your tongue a bit and wish the donor, all the same, only in double size. If a person gave you a knife without malicious intent, then he will be happy. After all, he will increase his good, and even 2 times. And if the wishes were not sincere, then rightly so to such a donor. Let it dissipate its double troubles.

With no reason

It happens that a knife is presented as a gift, not confining it to some kind of celebration, but just like that. Well, let's say you were away. And you liked the handmade blade or knife. The owner may be eager to give it to you. Or your conscience will beg.

Here superstition is clearly unanimous. Such a knife can be safely taken away only in one case: if it has never been in use. If the owner of the device has already managed to use it at least once for its intended purpose, then you should moderate your ardor and stop asking for such a gift.

The fact is that in ancient times the production of knives was not massive.The blade was made only on one owner. And, falling into other hands, the blade began to take revenge. The only opportunity to change the owner was the death of the previous owner. But you don’t want the knife so much that the donor died, right?

Tip. Coming to visit the Caucasus, do not think to admire the blades there. Especially while visiting. The knife may be too valuable for the owner, but according to the local customs he will be forced to give you. Failure will be perceived as a blood insult. By the way, this applies to any subject, not just a knife. Therefore, keep your oohs, aahs and enthusiasm about the beauty of products to yourself. There are cases when a guest had to take with him the only carpet of the hosts or an old cup.

More signs

Even if you yourself are not a superstitious person, anyway, giving a knife or any other sharp object (fork, needle, scissors), you yourself can get into the black strip of your life. Because it is the donee who suddenly turns out to be strongly believing in signs. That means he will take your gift very negatively. It will be tormented by superstitions, thinking of you nasty things. As a result, it will send you bad energy. There is no escaping trouble.

The knife has always been a symbol of aggression and war. Therefore, initially it carried a bad energy. It is generally accepted that you wish a person grief and quarrels, endowing with a blade. After all, no matter how hard he tries, the metal will do its insidious business. Allegedly, anger wakes up in a person, which splashes out on others. Hence swearing, parting, and other dirty tricks.

But these are the beliefs of our country. In other places, giving a knife is a great honor and a real friendship. So signs do not work there? Most likely, there is just a different mentality. Or, people value participation and human relations more than ancient superstitions.

After reading our article, you know why you cannot give knives. Signs and superstitions we have described. And it's up to you whether you should believe in them, or live according to your own rules and in accordance with common sense. Just remember that no knife can destroy normal human relationships. You just do not start a quarrel yourself, and everything will be fine.
