Swords, knives and other blades
Aside from guns and other things that are loud and man stopping, I have a thing for swords. I carry around a Gerber knife all the time. I was wondering who else have a thing for blades

I like Viking swords, but I don't own any. My friend, however, loves Katanas despite the fact that they can't pierce the flimsiest of mail and will shatter when struck by a Viking style sword. Also, I own a crappy broadsword, a Bowie knife that has a spiked knuckleduster, wicked serrations anda sharp spike on the bottom of it (sort of like a huge trench knife), a few pocket knives and a longsword made in Pakistan.

I have a woderful fasination with swords and I love them as much as I love guns, Queen (the band), and the poem "Jabberwocky" (which I all love with my heart's content. I have done a lot of research on swords for my fantasy story and would love to have a french sabre. I also love the butterfly knife.:)

I would like to have a Microtech, more specifically one of their Ultratech series knives. I'd just have to find one that didn't take both hands and 30 seconds to open :p

When I can I go backpacking durring the summer to places that are literally days from the end of the road. You can bet your ass I have at least one blade on me and there are other knives besides mine in the group.
Personally Due to where i am working i have a boxcutter on me just about 24/7. Outside of work I usually carry a simple liner lock folder or a swiss army knife. Backpacking I have either a Ka-Bar or more resently a Cold Steel Kobun. I have an entire box(bulk paper box from Staples) worth of various knives from about 20 years worth of collecting. it contains everything from a Cold Steel Minipal at the smallest to an old fashion Kukri at the largest. |
I've got a whole crapload of knives. For your viewing pleasure, here's a visual sampling:
The first one I ever got. http://www.camping-survival.net/imag...ival-knife.jpg Needless to say, I was always a fan... http://www.teraasekeskus.com/tuottee...tBlood1Net.jpg Complete with the 82nd Airborne logo on the blade. https://www.gijoesmilitarysurplus.co...s/3134_big.jpg What blade collection would be complete without one of these? http://www.usmcstore.com/images/Ka-Bar/Ka-bar.gif |
I really want to get a Kuhkri. Almost did earlier in the year, but I didn't have enough cash

I'm not big on blades, but I have a respect for them. Ka-Bars are pretty much my favorite as far as knives go, and I've got a short straight blade sitting here with a very dark brown leather hilt (not sure how it got so dark, probably from it being in my luggage when I flew back from Oregon to my old home in Florida) though I don't use it much, as I don't need the knife for anything that my little Gerber can't do, and I like keeping it in as near perfect condition as possible. When I get some more money I'm gonna buy a full size part-serrated Next Generation model and that'll free me up to use the little one for general purpose. This is not to say that I am a knife douche or anything, I just don't want to destroy or damage a knife if I don't have to, especially if it's the only one I have. If I've got another one though.....
