Yes, anything that cuts counts, including scissors. A coin should be given with it. Many companies include a penny or 5 yen piece. It does not matter if Christmas, birthday, losing your virginity, if you give someone a knife, a coin should be included.

"Yes, it is a widespread tradition or superstition to give a coin with a knife to ensure the gift doesn't symbolically "cut" or sever the relationship between the giver and the recipient. The coin transforms the gift into a symbolic purchase, thus neutralizing any potential bad luck."

"This custom is found across many cultures, including parts of North America, Europe (like the UK, Scandinavia, and Italy), and Asia (like Japan and China)"

Also, never give an empty wallet as a gift. In many cultures, giving an empty wallet as a gift is considered bad luck, symbolizing financial hardship or lack of abundance for the recipient, so it's traditional to include at least a coin or a small bill to attract prosperity and good fortune. This superstition suggests a wallet needs "seed money" to bring wealth, making a small token amount a powerful symbol for financial success. At the very least, put a fresh condom in there!
 
It makes perfect sence that statement to me..

I've been stiched up with Wallets before. Ladies buying me them. I should have guessed it..

1st of all ladies, you need a amount of money that is larger then the cost of the handbag, it better fit some Swiss Francs in it too and you need to get me rubber bands.

I've been given knives as leaving presents when leaving a kitchen team that you really don't wanna leave but the time has come to move on. It's better than a bottle.. You can't drink a thank you we say here..
