my Dad liked to refer to it as fightin' gear...
I'm stealing that
In America ... they would have handed him a Samurai mall sword and a shotgun
German guy looks around at everyone eating their food with swords and shotguns
Samurai mall sword
🤣 Why is that a real thing anyway?
Made from high grade aluminum. Says made in China in it so you know it's genuine.
Fork him.
Honestly, I got nothing. In German, we would say Besteck or Tafelsliber.
Tafelsilber is silber tho.
I could see the Swedish being translated as stabbers
skriva: to write
beskriva: to describe
sticka: to stab
bestick: stab-related noun?
It's not that food weapon is close to the German word but it's the description this German guy came up with.
Silverware (Tafelsilber : banquet/table silver) exists.
Besteck used to mean sheath, bestecken could be translated as to decorate with, stecken is to put into.
