Knife Rights has racked up some impressive legislative victories.

I have been fascinated by knives and edged weapons since I was a small boy. They can be fearsome weapons. Right beside my bed right now is a Fiskars hatchet.

Of course I also have two automatic pistols and a pump shotgun loaded with 7 rounds of 00Buck.

For some reason I have always feared edged weapons in the hands of people I do not trust.

I wish I could afford a high quality claymore.

Trolling for blade porn, ehh ?   d:^)

I actually have that one and also a cheaper but still good version made in South Africa. Both by Cold Steel.

Not really fond of getting the federal government involved in something like this.

Big Brother’s door swings both ways.

That one's a Ka-Bar .. good balance, and takes/holds an edge nicely, tho I'm not crazy about the scabbard.

Have read lotsa good reviews about CS stuff, and their pricing seems quite reasonable too.

Mines from Nepal...

[yarddog]

Are you sure that is a Kabar? It is too much trouble to try and dig mine out but in my memory that is exactly what mine looks like. Sheath also looks the same.

[Dead Corpse]

Look close. Says Ka-bar right on the blade...

[yarddog]

I cannot quite make it out but will take your word.

I still am a little suspicious that it is a cold steel one with Kabar branding it.

Actually now that I think about it, the handle is different from the Cold Steel one but looks very, very similar to a series of knives made by Ontario called “spec plus”.

I guess I will have to accept it as made by Kabar tho unless I can disprove it.

Well, if it's a knock-off, Amazon's got some 'splainin' to do   d:^)

(pre-fag) Scout's honor, it's this one, but about $30 cheaper at Amazon:

Ka-Bar 1249 Kukri

VERY nice, DC !

[yarddog]

The price of the Kabar and Ontario are very similar. The blades are slightly different but the handles are very alike.

Mine is like this one, made in India. It's not as refined but it's a solid tool and holds a razor sharp edge very well. I would carry it frequently if I could expect to not be arrested and have it confiscated.

thanks, for the post...
SWORD PING!...

[I got the rope]

Oh this is going to be an awesome thread!

Got mine from here The Khukri House after watching one of their videos of how their Smiths pound these things out.

Videos like this one.

The one thing that really impressed me about the one I bought was how THICK it is across the spine of the blade. It's a solid SLAB of steel around 3/8" at the peak of the bend.

The balance is phenomenal as well. You can hack away trimming trees/brush with remarkably little arm fatigue like you'd expect from a machete or brush axe.

And as imposing a blade as it is, 13.5" blade on mine, I'd EDC the dang thing as well. Proudly.

It was a birthday present to myself last year. :-)

[Dead Corpse]

Sharp and pointy things... :-)

I’ve been jonesing for one of those from Khukri House.
