Knife Lore and other old customs

[fielder1963]

Not knife related, but I once bought a second hand bike from a farm for my daughter. I handed over the cash, the farmer's wife gave me £1 back. She called it luck money. Apparently they always did it when they sold cattle. I'd never heard of it before.

Yep. I got a tenner “luck money” when I bought an old farm Land Rover (2A). …….. And oh did I need the luck!!

For me it was always the smallest denomination coin you had on you for a knife (on the geographic aspect I'm from London) also if you gave a purse/wallet you should put a coin in, so the recipients wallet always has money in
