Do not just hold a knife by the blade. I don't want to be a mom about this but, anything could happen that could end up with you getting needlessly injured. Someone might bump into you, you could slip, you might actually press down too hard, etc.

The only time I've been recommended to hold a knife by the blade is when I'm handing it to someone, and even then you hold it by the flat part.

Your work or hobby might end up in you getting injured with a knife or sword, but not everyone widdles or, especially, swordfights. Most modern people are not supposed to end up getting cut by a sword or even handle one.

We can take your advice and your experience and NOT test it out for ourselves. You're the expert, we're the novice, and us novices might end up hurting ourselves... for what? Seeing if a meme is right?

#This is great information and all and I'm not trying to discredit you genuinely #yeah there's no force and nobody's just gonna take the blade from him and four knows what he's doing I'm not saying anything about that #but like there's a reason why nobody here has held a sword before and we think this is unsafe at first glance #not everybody has a sharp sword but most homes have a knife block and we all know the talk about running with blades and holding a blade ou #instead of by its handle #so forgive people for not knowing what its like to get cut by a sword #that doesn't really happen day to day anymore; maybe if we were in the middle ages #Idk if you mean to come off as condescending or if you think we're weak or something for not picking up a blade and getting cut but #it's a GOOD thing to not get cut?#idk if I sound repetitive here idc #safety first for the love of god
