Just an observation based on the past 20.5 years of SCAdian activity.
And not to be taken too seriously overall, although the basic
observation (to wit, that perhaps 90% of the allegedly sharp knives
owned and operated by SCAdians are not in fact very sharp) remains
firmly rooted in my own experience of a fairly wide geographical and
numerical sample.

I think knife sharpening is a skill that would be nice to see taught
at universities and scholae, that sort of thing.

Most people tell me I'd be no fun if I took a chill pill ;-).
