Knives, knives, and um....oh yeah, more knives!

[Blindswordmaster]

I have a K-Bar US army knife and a switchblade.

K-Bar looks like this except it has a compass and a mini-survival kit in the hilt, and the switchblade looks like this.

I don't carry them usually, no, I don't want to get arrested and I've never had to get into a situation where I've had to use a knife, here's hoping I don't. I have taken them out a couple of times, but that was if I was in a bad neighbourhood, which I very rarely am.

EDIT: Incidentally, the macho film lover in me would love to get the Rambo knives, although the third one is a bit ridiculous, more of a machete than a knife.

They're mostly for camping or hunting or anything like that. I got them for home defense, but I have a rifle now so it's a moot point.

I wonder why all nerds seem to own knives? Maybe it's a self-esteem thing.

I actually won a 12 inch Rambo knife on eBay. It's the survival edition and comes with a compass in the hilt, waterproof matches, fishing line, and hooks. I can't wait to see how it all fits together. Should be here next week.

I also live down the street from a pawn shop which is across the street from....another pawn shop, so it's not the best neighborhood and self-defense is a real issue. I carry a knife in my car, but now I'm considering carrying one on my person. Don't get me wrong, I'm skilled in hand-to-hand, but it's not much good against a gun.

I have a dive knife. Or I would, my Mom hasn't sent it up here yet. But once I start traveling to scuba dive it will definitely come in handy incase and certain Mr. Bonds tries to infiltrate my base...

 

[SnipErlite]

I don't know but I want one of these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balisong_%28knife%29]

.......are you my like, half-twin or something? One of my main aims in life is to aquire and become skilled in butterfly-knife tricks.

Nice.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

A Swiss Army knife.

Hey, it comes in handy whenever I have to get food out of my teeth, but I do want to get something a little bigger.

 

[Actual]

For general use.

For decorative purposes. I love ridiculous display knives, so pretty.

I have a WWII Ka-Bar, a Western Boulder <url=http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q9/trail_hawk/westerns-1.jpg>knife (the big one), several folding knives. I've also got an axe, a hatchet, and am looking to pick up a nice new Bowie or Buck.

[GodofDisaster]

I prefer swords and I own three already. (Hoping to increase my collection, I've only just started this interest.)

Although I would like to get some knives and I've been thinking about buying these.

I want the second one, mainly for how bad ass it looks, plus they will only be for display purposes.

*calls police*

Uhmm, this thread makes me feel awkward in the way that walking in on someone performing a disembowelment ceremony would make me feel awkward. Ahh well, this is why we have the internet.

OT: Personally I would like a fixed blade knife. Those special high carbon content ultra hard steel army knives are strangely... compelling and... alluring. So shiny and sharp. Although not as good as a Katana ( Japanese straight sword) in a fight, you can pull a knife out much faster and end the fight before it begins. /inner psychopath.

...You serious? I seriously want to learn the tricks and get one of these knives. You need to stop being so similar to me. It's scary.

Hell yeah, I so wanna be able to just sit there twirling that ************ around without even looking. It'd be so freaking cool.

Ermmm, what's your opinion on......waffles??

It's less impressive, but I don't think a bat'leth can really be called a "knife"

 

[DividedUnity]

I just have a swiss army knife for fishing.

Though id love to have lightings sword from FF XIII its impossible to make one that folds like that in real life.

Cookies for reference.

On topic: I don't, nor do I intend to, carry a knife. I just don't feel the need for it. Besides, if I need something for self defence, I suppose I could use my keys.

Crocodile Dundee. Now, I shall make my own reference, "Guns are for shows, knives are for pros."

Probably a little off, it's been awhile since I... NO! Almost gave you a clue there...

OT: I have too many urges to stab people to ever trust myself with a knife.

Sweet or Potato.

Sweet: Has to be warm with cream

Potato: I have 4, Browned, 2 with tomato sauce and 2 with Tabasco sauce.

Infact I just finished a plate of potato waffles.

......I like waffles too 0_O

Halo or Half-Life? (or both I suppose....)

I used to routinely carry a Swiss Army Knife that was a gift from work - it had about 20 functions and was a bloody handy thing to have around. These days I just don't trust the law to not act like dicks even though the main blade was theoretically "legal" so it is in a drawer. And the main blade is a it bent and I have no idea how that happened - I guess I could send it to Victorinox as I believe that they have life time guarantee. But there's no point really.

 

[Joshimodo]

I have a katana/wakizashi set (daishó). Both made via traditional methods, and they're very expensive.

And very, very, very sharp.

It's called a kukri, not a Ghurka. The Ghurkas used them.
