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)
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.
Isn’t the euphemism for personal space translate to “knife fighting distance”? Seems like a good idea to take the knives away if you’re forcing Swedes into close proximity.
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.

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve mistaken a knife for a mollusc…

You’ll never guess what they’re called in Spanish
Cuchillos?
