My Valuable Hunting Knife Lyrics

For me, this song makes me think of meeting someone new and being infatuated with them - like a shiny new toy (or in this case, a valuable hunting knife just purchased) - in this case the knife becomes the girl, and the girl is used as a metaphor for a knife. And it's about imagining a long lasting relationship with this person even though you just met them.

Of course, the knife is eventually going to cut you.

Or maybe it's a song about how knives are better than women. "They ARE better than women! You don;t know what I've been through!"
