Just as you stated it. Anything else would be rude (and open to misinterpretation). I'd add, try to keep your own fingers as far from the edge as possible, and make sure the person receiving it has a good grip before you release it.Out of curiosity, what is the best way to hand a knife to someone? Handle toward them, blade toward yourself? Kind of like if you were reverse gripping the knife?
%100 accurate. I found that out the hard way when I let a buddy borrow my K-Bar. Guy ended up opening a tuna can with it. The tip as never been the same...5) Loaning knives to co-workers and friends is a bad idea unless you want it abused.
Sorry, that's a damn silly, uneducated expression, for a bunch of reasons.
Not so damn silly so as to make the opposite true, right?

Opposite = always take a knife to a gun fight.
I agree with the opposite.
OT, maybe. I don't mind discussing it myself. If you interpret the "opposite" literally, nothing more or less, I find it sound.I meant opposite in the way that you interpret it. I think that would be damn silly advise! Unless it were taken out of the following context:
"Always take a knife to a gun fight along with your rifle and handgun so that in the event your primary weapon malfunctions, and your backup runs dry, you might be able to use your blade as last ditch effort defensive tool."
Sorry, kind of off of the OP's topic.
