Well I think MM needs to be put away in a prison cell with only a raw food diet to sustain him.

You're nicer to him than I would be.

[cyborg]

LOL... I'm sure God would take care of him sooner rather later. Hopefully.

Nah - the sawteeth make it too hard to pull it free once you stick in 'em.

These work for me:

I have both the six inch and the nine inch San Mai tantos. They handle as if they have a life of their own. Perhaps they do. Cold Steel makes a mighty fine knife.

[Noumenon]

We have a pretty good idea of who's been naughty and who's been nice, eh?

News flash for the Indymedia-type scum:

It won't look much like Christmas, and sure the hell won't be Santa Claus coming to town.

I have a prewar Khukuri I favour, but the Cold Steel modernized version is nothing to dismiss, though I'm traditionalist enough that I really prefer a wood or horn handles to the Cold Steel rubber grip. But for someone less dedicated than I am to the Old Way but who still likes the effective Kukri design, the Cold Steel is hard to beat, and is indeed less likely to slip in the hand.

The recoil of a 7,5x55 Swiss G11 round going off withdraws the Pioneer bayonet neatly, and serves as a coup de grace at the same time. Convenient. I've got a M1917 bayonet for my M97 shotgfun, and my kid has a lond Australian bayonet for his Indian S.M.L.E. rifle as well. We're of sufficient Viking/North Germanic heritage as to appreciate steel as described by Marquis.

There's a lot to be said for tradition. The classic kukri is one of the deadliest fighting knives around in the hands of one who knows its ways. My wife and I were schooled in the Shaolin way, and I found the Way of the Knife much to my liking.

As for tradtion, the bayo on my NM Garand serves well - it's the old 10 incher. Love the feel of that rifle. Shoots way better than I can.

Got a feeling that I'm going to get a chance to run that barrel red hot.

Though American Bando practicioners have adapted many of their slashing and guard moves to the Khukuri, the Gurkhas I was around only jhad one ritualized form to be learned, and it was more ceremonial than anything of the sort resembling kata. But the khukuri is a daily work tool for the Gurung people, and doing practice dances with them would be like havingh carpenters at a worksite warm up with a little dance with their hammers befor nail pounding time. I know one thing would be real interesting though: a Russian paratrooper or Spetsnaz operator with his spade/entrenching tool versus a khukuri. I think winner would be a lot more a matter of footwork and experience, though the guy with the entrenching tool would have a little more reach. But could easily loose a few fingers trying to hang onto it. As usual, it'd be the men behind them that'd be all the difference.

My Garand bayonet is the shorter Korean-era M5A1, though I have one of the 10-inch M1 bayonets too. But it goes on Granddad's M1903.

How did this turn into a tactical forum?

not that I mind, but I think these topics might be better elsewhere. Frantic types might draw the wrong conclusions, and think we are plotting violence on those misguided cretins. and when one of them burns the place down when the cherry from his joint falls onto his all-natural wardrobe, igniting a small fire which is fueled by stacks of foodstamps and marxist brochures, we don't want to give the quisling law enforcement any reason to come looking for us. Trust me, they'll come some day, I'd just rather it weren't tomorrow.

That said, i'm a huge fan of the SMLE. good rifle, good price, great cartridge. VERY reliable.

Nah, that's over here.

The last I recall President Bush stated that we're at war, and that you're either with us or against us. I can't help it that there are some who have declared themselves to be enemies of the United States who just happen to be American, whether us norteamericanos or from regions further south.

Concur on the Enfield; my kid is fond of his SMLE, and the #4 mkI*[T} works well for me, as does the L42A1.

I propose a new phrase: "Give them a Cleveland!" Waddya think?

To Ckleveland with them sounds like we're consigning them to the lower depths of Hell on Lake Erie, and would likely not be well apreciated by the Greater Ohio Chamber of Commerce. But I'd think giving them *Cleveland's mercy*, after the fashion of Tarleton's Quarter, though obscure, might catch on quickly enough. If Finland the tern haake paale is sometimes heard in connection with such activities, as with the attempted Red insurrection and takeover of Finland in 1918 that resulted in civil war, or the 1939 invasion of Finland by a million point five Soviet troops just before WWII. Roughly, *hack 'em and stack 'em.*
