A good set of kitchen knives is a real dream for any housewife.
Not every woman would dare to pay a large sum for such a set of accessories, since it is customary to save on such things.
That's why some people offer knives as gifts. However, such a gift has a number of negative associations.
Why knives are not usually given as gifts
In many countries, knives have a bad reputation. It is believed that after such a gift, people will definitely have a bad relationship and stop communicating.
Sometimes it is believed that knives will cause discord in the family.
There is also an opinion that a useful kitchen utensil will attract troubles and misfortunes into the house.
Is it okay to accept knives as gifts?
If you cannot be called a superstitious person, then there is no reason to refuse the knives you need. The role of signs in this case can be as follows: a person programs himself for misfortune, since superstitions "promise" the emergence of problems.
If you still don't want to risk it, you can still accept knives as gifts. In that case, you'll need to give the giver some change.
