Can I have dibs on the knife after he tries to test out this functionality?

I was reminded of the scene in the first Indiana Jones movie where the guy came out twirling his swords showing off his prowess. Jones just shrugged his shoulders, pulled his gun, and shot the guy. A bear would do something similar to that when faced with a camp knife...
