A knife was considered a sacred symbol in the old days. This item helped in cutting carcasses of animals to feed a large number of people. They also manipulated the knife with sacrifices to the deities. They defended themselves and their family with a blade in case of imminent danger or in war. Even in those centuries far from modern times, people began to think and notice why the knives were breaking.
Nowadays, most superstitions have retained their interpretation of this sign. Perhaps the original versions were slightly different, but times are changing, and the explanations also adapt to them. We will also find out why, according to signs, the knife breaks. At the same time, we will learn what to do with this ambiguous tool after it is damaged. In general, we learn whether to expect good or bad from a breakdown.
Why does a knife break in a hand?
Signs promise trouble or more serious problems when this household item fell apart while you were holding it in your own hands.
The explanation is very simple: the knife is a talisman and assistant. Recall that people use it every day. And this means that the subject of kitchen utensils absorbs information flows from its owner. A person and an object become one, in the figurative sense of the word. Have you noticed how difficult it is sometimes to get used to a new knife? What this item breaks in the hands of can be assumed based on the conclusions voiced above. Universe, most likely, gives a person a hint through him. In order to correctly interpret this hint, it is important to pay attention to the part of the knife that has suffered the most.
Cracks on the blade and handle
Why does the kitchen knife in the owner’s hand break, do small fragments of steel fly off the blade, leaving nicks? Or maybe your sacred object began its self-destruction from the side of the handle? In such cases, ancient people assumed that the protection of the house and family living in it was strongly influenced from outside. Someone is trying to harm you, and the power of the amulet (kitchen knife) is running out. Troubles and losses with diseases are about to collapse. To quickly neutralize the signs, it is enough to sharpen the knife as soon as possible until the places of the chips turn into a flat blade.
The blade broke
Why does the knife break in the area of the blade? A similar incident does not happen very often. But in some cases, having proved himself once, he can even be repeated. How do you know why knives are breaking in a house with such terrifying constancy?
A blade in half is a sign of damage to the house and residents. Higher forces are trying to protect the owner of the item. The knife, in turn, absorbs most of the negative, or even all the bad that is sent to the owner. If you do not take the necessary actions, then trouble may come soon.
Rusty spots on the blade are also considered to be a sign of damage imposed on any of the owners of this item.
"Offended" by the owner
Why does the old knife break when a new copy is bought? Your old, for many years (or decades) kitchen item served faithfully, could be "jealous" of a new knife. This happens not only with him. Many people tell life stories when an old item or even a car for unknown reasons ceased to show signs of “life” after acquiring a replacement.
To a divorce or quarrel
Why does a knife break down on the floor or on the table? The incident promises resentment and misunderstanding between spouses. A great quarrel is approaching in the family circle.
Also, accidentally breaking in the fall, the subject promises a break in relations between loving hearts. Perhaps it will be possible to get rid of a sudden parting and, retaining feelings, return to each other through time.
Try to repair the knife so that sorrows fly by your family.
The tip of the blade broke off
And here is what the healers say, answering why the knife breaks at the very tip of the blade. There is a clear sign that damage to the inhabitants of the apartment has been imposed. She will be able to get to the most important points: health, relationships, family and work. Soon, if you are observant, you will notice how a black stripe passes through these areas.
You can try to neutralize this nuisance. But the final results will still depend on the strength of the negative sent to you. If you have a broken knife that is good and dearly loved by you, try to restore it by sharpening the blade in such a way that it acquires the shape of the tip that has been put to it. You can also do with a lot of small chipping if they began to appear on the subject.
Why do knives break often?
It happens that no matter how many new kitchen knives are acquired, they become unusable one by one. Either the blade breaks off, then the handle falls apart, or even breaks right in the mistress's hand. How to understand the sign - why do the knives in the house break?
Such incidents are a frequent occurrence where the knife does not feel the male hand. There may be several reasons for the lack of male attention to the instrument. The most frequent:
- The owner practically does not devote time to improving the house and does not follow tools, including knives.
- A woman lives without a man and often does men's work herself.
In the old days, the knife was considered a primordially male tool. Even when moving to another house, only the owner of the house had the right to pick up a knife from the old dwelling. If a woman transported kitchen appliances (including knives) on her own, people believed that she “cuts off” the path to good. Already in advance in the new housing was not expected good.
And returning to the question of why the knife breaks very often, in the old days people advised to "show" the man to the knife. If this is not done, then over time the breakdown will move to more serious and large objects. Furniture, doors and much more will collapse.
How to neutralize the impending disaster in this case? Let's consider two options:
- Let a married lady give knives to her husband. The man will sharpen them, and the troubles will recede, having discovered that the owner in the house still exists.
- A woman who does not have a spouse, let him attract luck, a little cheating. She will call her friend (brother, matchmaker, colleague), even alone with his wife, and the man will sharpen all the knives in the house.
Negation neutralization
Of course, sometimes in order for the omen not to be fulfilled, it is enough to quickly fix the breakdown. But what to do when the item is not subject to recovery? The knife, like every object, has its own limit of service and protective power.
In no case should you leave him in the house. Here it’s like with broken dishes: the negative absorbed by the object in case of breakage starts to radiate from the place of the break. Over time, such storage becomes dangerous. How to carry out the ritual of getting rid of a broken knife:
- We collect all parts of the subject, everything that fell off spilled out. Wrap the knife with something dense. You can wrap it with thick paper in several layers or with an old rag. Caution! Do not use your clothes or the clothes of someone from your family for the ritual. Especially the ban applies to children's things and shoes. We fix the paper with any means at hand. You can wrap with electrical tape or tape. A cling film or even an ordinary rope (thick thread) will do.
- We take out the packaged and neutralized item from the house. Bury away from home in a quiet place. Sometimes it is advised to bury a knife under the threshold, but not everyone agrees with this "neutralization." Better take the item away. What to do when it is not possible to carry out a ritual burial of a knife? In this case, we take the packed object into the trash bin and throw it away with our left hand.
- While burying or before throwing the blade into the trash, we whisper the words: "The knife breaks, trouble does not concern me and my family." Without looking back, we leave the burial place. During the journey, we do not enter into conversations with anyone.
- We come home and hurry to the tap with running water. To remove the remnants of negativity, wash my hands with the movement from the elbows to the palms. For greater neutralization, you can lightly, purely symbolically, rub them with salt during washing. Salt is considered an excellent neutralizer of bad energy flows.
At the end of the article, we recall the important rules regarding knives:
- Never leave a knife unattended on a table or other open surface. This attracts terrible misfortunes to your home and all who are in it.
- It is not accepted to give knives - it is believed that a quarrel awaits the giver and the giver.
