Do you feel that a knife is like a tattoo?

Let me explain:

When I was looking into getting a tattoo I read an awesome book that goes into detail everything about the physics of it up to the emotional aspect of getting a tattoo. Now the one thing that stood out to me was...if you don't like someones tattoo...don't say anything about it, comment on how the colors really pop or the lines are really straight or something...not "wow, why did you get snoopy tattooed on your arm? that's dumb"

Lee and I were discussing this a while back (my fiance) that maybe this should be the same for knives as well. Some people don't know that the crappy knock-off they got at the pawn shop will break in 2 months, or that liner lock is so thin that it could snap at any moment...

They probably bought that knife because they liked it or it had some sort of meaning to it.

What do you guys think?

Any knife one carries on them should be of significance as should a permanent mark on oneself..I have not thrown in the IKTHOF yet but one day hope to.Is there a Knife throwers Group yet?

I agree 100% with the analogy. I like to tell people that the reason there are so many different patterns and brands of knives is that EVERYBODY has different tastes! VIVE LE DIFFERENCE!
