Knife Fight is a lightweight cutlery set that includes a mirrored-silver, shield-shaped cutting tray and a set of decorative steak knives.
The picture on the box set will present a warm holiday image, including a roaring fire and tumblers of hard liquor amongst festive colours.
The watermark
engraving beneath the tray is designed to incite violence, triggering predictable conflicts with such warm messages as "A king must defend his castle", "A man must defend his honour", and "Your suspicions arn't unfounded". Each is delicately stamped with the foundry watermark, after careful research of domestic violence police reports.
SPARTA!!!

//"Your suspicions arn't unfounded"// - you're right, typos do tend to incite violence. |
|

It incites an interpretation event that should just be limited to the symbol but expands into a correction activity. 1) reading over the mistake 2) jarring at the mistake and blaming the writer 3)not jarring at the mistake but insulting the writer 4) not noticing the mistake |
|
|
If the typo is a pun then thats 5)noticing a mistake interpreting the typo as correct. 6) not noticing a mistake and not seeing the pun |

A miniscule amount of research using a small and entirely unrepresentative sample of individuals of the scotch persuasion indicates that "The first rule of Fife club" is in fact "Never, ever admit you've even been near the place." |

Hard to deny it though, the ink they use for the passport stamps on the Tay Bridge and Forth Bridge border crossing points is pretty indelible. |
