What is the trending Knife Rule on TikTok?
According to the ‘Knife Rule’, it's unlucky to close a pocket knife that has already been opened. Thus it's ideal to give someone a closed pocket knife. Then they may open it, utilize it, then seal it again with the blade securely inside. Although returning an open pocket knife to the original owner isn't the safest move, doing so will help you prevent negative karma.
As one TikTok user, Blaise McMahon, produced a clip with more than 3.3 million views on this superstition, the rule of closing an opened knife quickly gained popularity. The majority of the individuals who commented on his article, apparently already knew all about the knife rule.
‘S**t hasn’t been the same since’
This month, the rule became popular on TikTok after McMahon published the now-viral video. In the video, he mentioned, “Gave a girl an open knife and she gave it back closed. S**t hasn’t been the same since.” Soon after, a person commented on his post saying, “Real ones know if you open it you have to close it or it’s bad luck” and the person who made the video replied, “Exactly.”
