Normalien, agrégé de lettres et énarque, Bruno Le Maire va retourner à sa première vocation : l’enseignement. Après avoir reçu des propositions de plusieurs universités américaines et européennes, il a choisi de donner des cours* *sur les « sujets économiques et géopolitiques » à l’E4S, un établissement universitaire de Lausanne, en Suisse.

Agreed with you. In Europe, there’s a superstition that gifting a knife can "cut" or sever a relationship. To avoid this, the person receiving the knife must give a coin—usually just a small one—back to the giver. This act symbolically "pays" for the knife, turning it into a purchase rather than a gift, and preventing any bad luck or harm to the friendship or relationship.

It’s blend of practicality, tradition, and superstition.

One explanation ties this to a belief that closing a knife someone else opened can bring bad luck, or is considered bad manners. There’s also the practical side: if someone hands you an open blade, they’re entrusting you with a dangerous tool, and closing it before handing it back could suggest you don’t trust them to handle it properly.
