I've worn the Spyderco 79mm rescue for the last decade and have used it to remove others from two potential life threatening situations.
It doesn't clean fingernails as well as my old Buck knife but, it will chew through most things fast.

That looks like it'd be painful to carry Icey.
What knife do you wear Ron?

Ekat, what's the Hess Mill, and how did someone envision making them into cutlery? Gotta be a story there.

They were rarely used as weapons, mainly as status symbols and uniform adornments.
Still, they are nonetheless designed for only one purpose...



This " knife of death" is better filmed in low light.

This one's different


Very sharp, and well balanced for throwing. Not much good in the kitchen..

I'm with Ron on this one. I use several knives daily, for hours sometimes. I prefer the cheapo Vitornox or Forschner blades for exactly the reason Ron said, they sharpen well. They are hardened all the way through, but not too hard like Henkels.

I carry a Carson folder as my pocket knife. Still saving for a Randall Bowie.

This Gerber knife weighs only two ounces and cuts rope
pretty easily.

I used one for several years but lost it. Cleaned some
fish in the backcountry...remembered to pack out the
entrails but forgot to pack out the knife :-)

I ordered another one...it only needs sharpening about
once a year as much as I use it. My dad gave me a knife
with better steel but I keep that as a keepsake, afraid
of losing it.

Stolen from the Internet, but it's similar to the knife I've been using lately.


Twenty minutes of use, five minutes of honing. Repeat for weeks.

Oh, these too, these are mine. I found some pictures.

Brandon, why did you take Fred's DeWalt impact? Are you figuring that he's forgotten it?
