Choosing a gift is a rather difficult matter, since its new owner should like it. In addition, various folk signs should be taken into account, which very clearly express the meaning of the gift.
People say that giving a knife is a bad omen. This superstition came from the deep past and is known to almost every modern person. You should not choose for a gift not only knives, but also all other piercing and cutting objects. People who lived in antiquity believed that sharp corners and cutting edges were already very fond of evil spirits. Therefore, along with the presented knife or dagger, an evil spirit also passes to the person as a gift, which can lead to very sad consequences. This ancient omen has survived to this day in a slightly modified and simpler form. It is believed that a knife causes quarrels, sorrows and misfortunes in the life of a person who has become its new owner. In most cases, such disagreements arise precisely between the donor and the owner of the gift. Therefore, when choosing even a small decorative knife for donation, be very careful and carefully analyze all the possible consequences. After all, mystical laws say that loud quarrels and enmity between people often lead to stabbing, the main character of which is just a donated knife. If you do not believe in ancient omens, considering them "grandmother's tales", then think about one more problem. There is a huge chance that the person to whom you present the knife knows about such a warning. In this case, he is unlikely to be imbued with sympathy for you. The birthday boy may feel that you are deliberately seeking to bring additional problems and sorrows into his life, and this is unlikely to strengthen your relationship. In fact, there is a way out. After all, a knife cannot be considered prohibited if it is not a gift. Therefore, you can demand from a person to pay you for it - and it does not matter how much, even one penny. In this case, superstition can be bypassed and turn a dangerous gift into a beautiful purchase. Nobody knows how true ancient superstitions are. In any case, be careful when choosing a gift and treat it with all possible responsibility - you should not once again risk the friendship and respect of a dear person.
