An East Texas knife shop owner is going viral on TikTok after rejecting a customer’s request to transfer an emblem to Hitler Youth knives.
According to the Holocaust Encyclopedia, a Hitler Youth knife was used as part of a process of Nazifying German society and emphasized the paramilitary nature of the Hitler Youth organization. It was designed to train boys as future fighters and soldiers for the Nazi cause.

In the Blade Bar’s surveillance video, it shows two customers, a man and a woman, walking into The Blade Bar requesting service. The owner, with over 30 years of experience, asked, “What are you wanting to put on it?” as he looked at the knives.
The woman responded, “I need the emblem out of that to go into this one,” as she pointed to the knives. The owner immediately rejected the request, saying, “No, I won’t do it.”
“No Nazi bulls--t,” the owner said in the video. The woman stared at him for a moment, saying, “No problem.”

The owner offered to add a modern German forestry seal on the knife, stating, “I will denazify s--t, but I won’t re-nazify s--t.” The woman replied, “Ok, ok, no problem,” as she and the man proceeded to walk out the door.
