That sounds a lot like Albacete and Andalucía with all those navajas, especially the gifting part (Navajas de Albacete are a well-known souvenir here in Spain)

    If I had a nickel for every time I've mistaken a knife for a mollusc..

    There's an entire group of molluscs called "razor clams", and their shells can be sharp enough to knick skin. I have lost enough faith in humanity, I would wager that at least one person has accidentally left the house with a pocket clam.

    I grew up un the impenetrable forests of southern sweden, always had pocket knives (fällkniv or morakniv). They were totally banned in school so I guesd we all figured that one out.

    Moraknivs are my favorite knives! They're sturdy, the grips are comfortable, and the bevels are easy to sharpen by hand with a whetstone. The steel is good, and as long as you keep it dry and oiled, they last forever.

    They're fantastic blades, Swedes have excellent taste.
