The people have clearly strengthened the notion that giving sharp objects is strictly prohibited. An allegedly donated knife can lead to a quarrel, discord and quick separation. This sign arose a long time ago, in those days when a knife was a symbol of misfortune and attracted evil spirits.
Bad sign
A knife is an indispensable attribute of a sorcerer or witch. For a long time, special spellbound knives have been used in terrible witchcraft rituals. The ritual knife becomes a kind of energy conductor that is able to accumulate magical energy and endow its owner with extraordinary power.
It is believed that with the help of a knife, you can put on a person the most powerful damage, which will then be very difficult to get rid of. People who have nothing to do with magic have always been wary of witchcraft accessories, so a knife is perhaps the most "forbidden" gift.
The knife is able to concentrate negative energy in itself. If the giver of the knife is a person with negative energy, then it can easily be passed on to the person who receives the gift.
Some argue that the donated knife will definitely somehow show itself and will want to be tried in action in the near future.
For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that for many peoples a knife is a very valuable and desirable gift. In the countries of Central Asia and the Middle East, a knife is considered the most powerful talisman against evil spirits and evil spirits, and in the Caucasus it is even customary to give a man a cold weapon. In Finland, a knife is a symbol of friendship and endless trust. In this country, it is customary to give Finns as a token of gratitude and respect.
In the Middle Ages, the most courageous warrior who heroically showed himself in battle received a sharp blade as a gift. Often the badge of honor was presented by a very high-ranking person. Probably not a single knight refused such an award, citing his fear of destroying his energy field and attracting unnecessary negativity to himself.
In Russia, there is also a tradition of giving blades, sabers, swords, daggers and knives to government officials and high-ranking military personnel.
For a hunter or collector, a beautiful unusual knife will also be a welcome gift.
What to do with suspicious people
It is better not to present such gifts to dubious people. They may begin to subconsciously fear that they will now begin a streak of failures in their lives. It is known that blind faith in omens can itself begin to attract negativity.
If you were presented with a knife, it would be best to give the donor one or more coins to calm your conscience. For the black forces it is now considered that you bought this knife and they should no longer have any complaints against you.
You can safely accept knives as a gift from loved ones and trusted people. After all, it’s ridiculous to suspect, for example, a childhood friend who gave you a rare collectible knife, knowing that you love hunting, of bad intent. Or a relative who presented a set of cutlery for a wedding.
