Why not give knives: signs and superstitions. None of the objects, except, perhaps, bread, will have such a quantity, like a knife. And on the table it is impossible to forget, and you can put the pen only in a certain direction, and much more. But let's reason sensibly. The knife itself is always a potentially dangerous object. But to get it as a gift in our country is to directly hit trouble. Let's see what donation means on a separate occasion.
To the wedding
It is believed that giving knives to newlyweds is still at a festival to begin to destroy their life together. Say, the sharp edge will cut the recently tied bonds. 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 newlyweds. But surely there are knives in it. What to do? Take a nominal fee. Let the newlyweds give you a small coin or bill.After all, someone necessarily donated just money, so the young ones have it. The value of money does not matter. It can be even a penny, at least 100 rubles. What is important is the fact of the exchange. That is, it turns out that you did not give them a set, but sold it. In another - a deal. And you can buy knives without signs and superstitions.
Secret. No donated knives will not cause a quarrel in the new family, if the newlyweds love and respect each other's opinions.
For birthday
There is such a belief that you can not give the birthday boy a knife. Allegedly, soon you will be parted from him and will no longer be close people. Yes, people tend to blame for separation or quarrel anything, even a gifted knife. But not their bad deeds or nasty attitude towards others.
What if you got a knife as a birthday present? Here something can help, as in the previous case. Better yet, look inside yourself and review your behavior. It is possible that the cutlery has nothing to do with it.
New Year
Or another option. It is claimed that every knife giver wants trouble to the donee. Therefore, the device carries a negative energy in itself, which means life in the new year will be oh how sweet it is.
Well, you can again make a symbolic sale and purchase transaction, thus fooling the inner unclean spirit in the knife. You can refuse this gift by inventing some kind of harmless, but weighty motive. And you can safely take a knife as a gift, slightly bite the tip of your tongue and wish the donor, all the same, only twice the size.

And if the wishes were not sincere, then the right to such a donor. Let him clear up his double troubles.
With no reason

Here superstition is unambiguously unanimous. Such a knife can be safely taken away only in one case: if it has never been in use.
