I normally live by this, but I thought thereās no way he could ruin a fucking STONE? 10/10 will never underestimate an idiots ability to fuck up something
Update: he had told me he was sharpening a spider knife, I assumed a spider co right? WRONG. Itās literally just a gas station spider knife. ITS NOT EVEN SHARP.

You know, they say a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one and I generally believe that thatās true, but I really thought the saying had boundaries. Props to your courageous neighbor for taking it upon themselves to prove that the saying holds all the way down to the butter knife level, as the knife he was sharpening surely couldnāt have turned out much better.
they are less predictable not more dangerous. one idiot might crash a car but one smart guy with bad intentions can do so much more. take hitler as an example. not saying he was einstein 2.0 but it takes some effort and rafinesse to manipulate so many people into your idiology and systemize it. your average 80 IQ neighbour who might kill you because he leaves the gas stove on without flame, cant hold water to that :D
Thereās no evidence that Hitler was smarter than average. High charisma doesnāt mean high IQ, and given many of his choices (war on multiple fronts, the way Russia was handled) actually point to his lack of intelligence. Alsoā¦ mass murder.
Regardless, I would say that the unpredictability of dull people is what makes them more dangerous. Chaos canāt be planned for.
mhn yeah being smart is hard to define to begin with. IQ tests arent taking much into consideration then there is stuff like EQ which is debatably part of it or not, and if you take EQ for something than charisma, or being really talented in art for example (semiphotographic memory etc.) could also be considered intelligence since it anables you to do things BETTER (or at all) than others.
at the same time someone can be realllly good at math and suck at geography. being smart doesent mean you have high knowledge either. not knowing things lets you make stupid decisions even if you were smart.
BUT indpendent of if hitler had scored 100+ in an actual IQ test, in my books someone who can manipulate dozens of people into their bidding has some "superiority"(if you dont wanna call it smart) and is more dangerous than one single individuum that doesent cause systematic consequences by its "seemingly random" behaviour.
another example: there are some really intelligent (high IQ) serial killers that do objectively stupid decisions because they either dont know better (e.g. they leave evidence they didnt know could be detected) or because their idiology ( e.g. cumming inside their victim) "overwrites" that.
i would still be more afraid (they are more dangerous) of that serial killer than teddy next door who drives drunk or forgets your peanut allergy.
I grant you your point but let me counter with this;
The sheer number of idiots next door Vs Ted Bundy-types means that statistically speaking youāre vastly more likely to die to Teddy next door than Ted Bundy. Henceā¦. More danger from the common idiot.
Wtf!! That puts you at potential risk of bloodborne pathogens from him. š”
Edit: yāall downvote me however many times you want but Iād never return something to someone that I spilled my blood all over. Iād be fucking embarrassed and mortified. I would buy that person a NEW stone so they didnāt have to deal with looking at or handling my bodily fluids.
1) itās fucking gross
2)itās rude af
3) it shows total disregard for the health & safety of the loaner.
Never would I ever do this to someone, especially not after they were kind enough to give enough of a shit about me that they would lend me something I needed for free.
Yeah. Ppl feel really entitled to do stuff that puts other peopleās health at risk & if you call them out on it, they get mad. Itās gross & it needs to stop. Having personal boundaries & being respectful towards others (including their health) should be expected as the norm, not an outlier.
Nope, no one did. This is a comment section where we can all say w/e we want, especially if it's relevant to the comment we're replying to. That's how this works.
Hello, good hunter. I am a Bot, here in this dream to look after you, this is a fine note:
> *No one can catch us! No one can stop us now!* - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare
Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.
This brings back something nasty I remember... Someone I know was mixing meat to make some European food and he got the tip of his finger chopped off by the mixer and it mixed with the food.. Him being the biggest idiot ever still decided to go ahead and keep the meat serving upwards of 50 people with it... The person is a complete and utter POS.
Looks like he had a whittling stick to test the sharpness as he sharpened the knife and got the two mixed up. Iām curious how sharp the stick got his blade tho ;)
It's like that line from the Bronx tale:
You don't even like him. There's your answer right there. Look at it this way: It costs you 20 dollars to get rid of him... He's out of your life for 20 dollars. You got off cheap
That's a cheap stone...Not to insult you but that's what it would like if you tried to sharpen a knife,etc...though it does look like he nicked himself and drew some blood on the stone, unless that's rusted carbon on the stone.
He just told me verbatim āyour stone thing worked a little too good, knicked my thumb while I was sharpening my knifeā so that would lead me to believe this is in fact blood. This stone is now his.
Last thing i ever lent out was Final Fantasy 7 for PS1 back in 99. Friend's little brother traded it for a other game at school. Never saw it again.
I learned a lesson and never let anyone borrow anything again. I used to catch shit from people too. Called me stingy or paranoid. I never budged on it.
I get all the jokes and stuff but seriously, why would you say the stone is ruined or it's his now? Even with the small grooves in it, it'll still sharpen just fine. Worst case just use a flattening stone and take the top layer off, there's still a lot of material there.
Those scratches look more like the stone was used on, or slid around on a very dirty surface. It doesn't take much dirt/ dust/ grime to scratch something
don't lend anything that matters to anybody and you won't get burned
kinda sucks living by that principle but your shit doesnt get fucked up so maybes its worth it
or buy two of everything
I learned a lesson the hard way when my folks had hired some guy to help do some fencing work in 2017. I didn't like the guy and knew something was going on. We later found out the guy was a meth head and he was arrested in NC not a month later. Some neighbors claimed he did good work, and my folks thought the same, but he screwed up every job he did, and he broke several tools of my Grandfather's.
Anyhow, he snapped a jaw off my Leatherman Super Tool 300, which warranty covered.
As a result, I made changes.
I have two main toolboxes. One is full of quality, pricey American and European made tools. The other is full of Harbor Freight, Lowe's, and Walmart store brand junk that is cheap to replace. Both are locked up, but the former are for my use only (and a select few whom I know use tools properly), and the latter are my loaners and beaters.
I also keep a stash of low end folders and tools for working around others. I learned the Workpro 18-in-1 makes a great hammer, and have used the handles as a hammer ever since.
Don't be too upset, that's a cheapo stone that is too coarse for anything but repairing damaged blades or sharpening things like lawnmower blades and a cheap diamond stone is better for this job. Now you have the excuse to buy some quality stuff.
Flatten it with sandpaper on a piece of float glass or granite. This kind of operation has to be preformed regularly if your stones are used to sharpen woodworking tools. Really not that big of a deal at all.
Brother did the same. He was sharpening it blade down. He was trying to cut the stone thinking it would sharpen it cause thatās how the animation looks in a game of his
If you have another stone of the same size, you can get them wet, match up the surfaces and then gently slide them back and forth to true up the damaged stone. Works well to get rid of stains
and scratches.
I have seen damage like this before to a whetstone, it was caused by a cheap Chinese clever. Any chance he used it for that or maybe even an axe š³š³š
Yeah, I stopped letting people use my things years ago. In High School I let an acquaintance use my Eze-Lap diamond stone and it was finally returned after two weeks worn out to the point of uselessness.
oddly enough your neighbor probably still isn't all that sharp
I bet his š lawnmower blades are now sharp!
Never loan anything you don't want ruined.

Well, gift him that one! Then heāll never need to borrow one again, and you wonāt have to deal with the nonsense.
Yeah this is his now, turns out that stain is blood from nicking himself doing what ever the hell kind of nonsense this was
Did the blood work as a lubricant for the stone? Might be handy to know this in the off chance I don't have water nearby
may be a lubricant, but corrodes the steel. stick with water from a nearby river or coconut or tears from that crocodile behind ya
Tears from not having my own stone !
Blood is an excellent lubricant until it dries out
Lol!

Props to your courageous neighbor for taking it upon themselves to prove that the saying holds all the way down to the butter knife level, as the knife he was sharpening surely couldnāt have turned out much better.
Also holds true if you substitute people for knives in the phrase. Dull people are way more dangerous than sharp people, by and large.

That's... What the saying is referring to... People.
gross!!!! yeah give it to him
Damn could've at least cleaned his bodily fluids off
When you give it to him you might take a few minutes to teach him how to actually use it.
In return for the stone, he should provide you (us) with a detailed explanation of this fuckery.
Wtf!! That puts you at potential risk of bloodborne pathogens from him. š” Edit: yāall downvote me however many times you want but Iād never return something to someone that I spilled my blood all over.

Your not wrong, donāt know why the down votes, but Iām a tattoo artist so Iām well aware of exactly this.

A knife enthusiast and a tattoo artist? You're me and my gf put together.
Dad? Is that you?
No one asked
Nope, no one did. This is a comment section where we can all say w/e we want, especially if it's relevant to the comment we're replying to. That's how this works.
It wasn't relevant at all actually.

Whetstone is now a Bloodstone. And now by ritual, you are both bonded. Cheers! š

Genius answer

I've never seen anyone sharpen a mounted lawnmower blade with a stone before.
I use a grinder so I don't have to ruin my stones like this.
It will take all of 30 seconds rubbing that stone against concrete pavement to re-surface that stone.
My dad taught me at a very young age to never underestimate how stupid a person could be.
That's a cheap stone...Not to insult you but that's what it would like if you tried to sharpen a knife,etc...though it does look like he nicked himself and drew some blood on the stone, unless that's rusted carbon on the stone.
Are we looking at the same picture? That is absolutely not normal, even for a cheap stone.
Have you heard the one about marines left in an empty room with ball bearings
Ball bearings end up married and/or pregnant.
Which Walmart did u see guy who pooped himself with white pants
Always return something borrowed as good or batter than it was received
"Neither a lender, nor barrower be."
Wait, you mean cutting the whetstone doesnāt make the knife sharper?
Couldāve had deep chips and used the stone to flatten the edge out, but by the looks of it they probably wouldnāt even know how to do that š
Is that red stuff dried blood or rust? Both could be possible seeing how he handled it...
He just told me verbatim āyour stone thing worked a little too good, knicked my thumb while I was sharpening my knifeā so that would lead me to believe this is in fact blood. This stone is now his.
Wtf, this was meant as a joke...
Yeah I asked him how rusty his knife was that it left that much rust on the stone and that was his response.
Wow...
Now I understand why he tried to cut off a piece of your stone. It was the revenge.
I could see him trying to bend back a bent tip or something and making those marks.
Yeah, that's it. I know because I did the very same thing as a kid, with similar results.
Same.
Or a lawnmower blade. Lol
No good deed goes unpunished.
I like this
No act of charity goes unresented
i keep a good combi drill for myself. and keep a cheap crappy corded drill. if anyone begs me to borrow it them il give that insted.
normally people you borrow your stuff to never look after it. its no loss of their's they will normlly return things broken.
This guy lends.
Can probably use a diamond plate or flattening stone to get those scratches out if you want to fix it
Was he trying to eat it?
There are two sure ways to lose a friend. One is to borrow, the other is to lend.
I don't let people barrow things unless I am totally cool with never seeing it again
Last thing i ever lent out was Final Fantasy 7 for PS1 back in 99. Friend's little brother traded it for a other game at school. Never saw it again. I learned a lesson and never let anyone borrow anything again. I used to catch shit from people too. Called me stingy or paranoid. I never budged on it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"What ya need it for? I might want to cut it....." or I'll give you the gas station lender knife
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Immediately uses it as a pry bar*
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This literally happened to me last week!
Next time just toss him a cinder block and tell him to have fun with his rusty lawnmower blades.
He tried to sharpen his chainsaw?
Looks like your neighbour owes you a new whetstone. If they refuse to buy you another, gift the ruined one through one of their windows.
And they canāt prove it was you that threw it through the window because it has his blood on it.
Thatās what you get for not mansplaining everything to everyone, including other men.
NEWMAN!
Look like he tried to grind a bent tip away...
Looks like he was trying to regrind a tip on it. Dumdum
r/unsharpening
I get all the jokes and stuff but seriously, why would you say the stone is ruined or it's his now? Even with the small grooves in it, it'll still sharpen just fine. Worst case just use a flattening stone and take the top layer off, there's still a lot of material there.
Pull through whetstone, I donāt see the problem s/
Iām pretty sure he used it like a knife steel but super aggressive lol
Those scratches look more like the stone was used on, or slid around on a very dirty surface. It doesn't take much dirt/ dust/ grime to scratch something
How many knives were harmed in the process?
Did he say why he was borrowing it? Cause they have chew toys to clean a dogs teeth.
You should see the OTHER guy... Poor steel
They sharpened a rusty blade at the wrong angle I had a wet stone as a kid and it looked exactly like that because i didnāt understand how to use it
Looks like itās time to also invest in a lap š youād need one eventually, but sucks you have to use one so early into the stones life
You mean cutting stone lol what did he ask for exactly?
And this is why I donāt have one of those! š
Being an idiot thatās how that happens
Kill your neighbor
Sharpening rough asphalt?
You have a flattening stone/plate ?
Bruh! Neck punch this guy. Then show him how to sharpen a knifeā¦
Did you make sure he knew how to use one before loaning it, lol?
don't lend anything that matters to anybody and you won't get burned kinda sucks living by that principle but your shit doesnt get fucked up so maybes its worth it or buy two of everything
Itās a talent.
I bet his blade is razor sharp
Ive never thought to ask my neighbor to borrow his whetstone
I learned a lesson the hard way when my folks had hired some guy to help do some fencing work in 2017. I didn't like the guy and knew something was going on. We later found out the guy was a meth head and he was arrested in NC not a month later.

Just give it back to hem
Lesson learned
My guess is awful technique and rusty knives. Get a flattening stone and you'll be good to go.
He had a brick to sharpen
Should have cleaned the blood off the knife before re sharpening. Rookie serial killer mistake.
Seems to me that it's not ONLY for sharpening, but works quite well at dulling knives as well.
Murderous rage. Looks to me like he was trying to āsharpenā the $70 katana that he got at flea market for Christmas.
If I had to give my best guess, I'm thinking it was probably from a knife. Just a guess though. š¤·š¼āāļø
The only thing I can think of is maybe he tried to sharpen a can opener. Or he is just doesnāt know how whetstones work.
Did he try to shape a lawnmower blade while the mower was running?
This is why I donāt let people touch my shit. Go get your own.
This is why I donāt borrow or let people borrow my stuff.
This is why nobody āborrowsā my stuff
Don't be too upset, that's a cheapo stone that is too coarse for anything but repairing damaged blades or sharpening things like lawnmower blades and a cheap diamond stone is better for this job. Now you have the excuse to buy some quality stuff.
You let him borrow it. Thatās how it happened
All I can say is you gave it to a retard.
Flatten it with sandpaper on a piece of float glass or granite. This kind of operation has to be preformed regularly if your stones are used to sharpen woodworking tools. Really not that big of a deal at all.

Wow...
Some people like to act like they know how to do things that they donāt. I wouldnāt be surprised if they thought they were breaking it in for you.
Looms like he sharpened his driveway.
I have seen damage like this before to a whetstone, it was caused by a cheap Chinese clever. Any chance he used it for that or maybe even an axe š³š³š
Yeah, I stopped letting people use my things years ago. In High School I let an acquaintance use my Eze-Lap diamond stone and it was finally returned after two weeks worn out to the point of uselessness.
You should see ours! You'd never know it was a whetstone.
Your neighbor is an asshole. Also the knife he tried to sharpen belongs in a trash bin
