blade recommendations

[raptorman]

Yeah, Jamoni. I think you and I are one of the few people on this board that have marched with military weapons on official duties. If you had a bayonet attached, you WOULD get cut running with it eventually. I just wouldn't knife fight a zombie, no matter how cheap my katana, or how many pimples on my face. There, I said it.

PS, I once dated a woman whos father was a sword maker. His swords started at $15,000 USD each. I don't know jack about swords, but I know his hudreds of folds, LASER sharpened Katanas were bringing big dollars from people IN JAPAN paying for them. He was a red blooded American sword maker, and the Japanese wanted his work.

I think anything less than his sword smithing would be pointless.

I can just imagine some pre-puberty teen that has taken lessons at his YMCA and thinks he is a Ninja, trying to wield his internet order katana against an undead horde.

God, that is rediculously funny.

The 1917 Mossberg "Trench-gun" (back in WWII) had one, my only question is: Can you shoot the gun with the bayonet erected?

I know there are several more around here that have had or are in the middle of active duty. Ashnack and Norseman are two I can think of off hand.

I assumed there was probably a good reason why you don't see too many solders running around with bayonets anymore.

You probably won't see too many of them except the ones that are trying to get at your brains.

Even in the movies, they put them on RIGHT before they need them. I would rather strap battlecat armor to my dog and send her out to attack zombie ankles.

Note: Reference to battlecat was not meant to induce he-man related discussion.

That He-man's pretty cool.

I'm going to tell your dog. She's gonna be pissed.

[raptorman]

She would look pretty cool painted green with yellow stripes, and red battlecat armor, no?

[kyle]

Maybe that's true... but I bet she won't let you ride off into battle on her back.

[jamoni]

Yeah. You could attach HER to the end of your rifle.

[raptorman]

Yeah. You could attach HER to the end of your rifle.

That's not nice! She's coming for you...Jamoni... You drew first blood..

Now back to blades...as much as I hate the thought of using them against a zombie.

[kyle]

You guys notice the later at night it gets the farthur off topic we get.
I think I should set a timer for myself and lock my username from the forums after about 11pm.

Then I would just end up making a new account... for me to ban in the morning.

You can buy real USMC K-bar knives for $39.99 in the Bud K catologs this month.
Bud K is like the crappiest catolog ever but occationally something good shows up.

Heh.

I can get some pretty good deals on knives on base. I bought a Benchmade Griptillian knife for 35 bucks the other day (reg 70). Good reviews on that knife.

I got a Benchmade pocket knife for my b-day this year. I like it a lot but my favorite pocket knife that I keep on me all the time is my Columbia River Knife and Tool model M-16 13Z.



I'm too lazy to break out the camera so I stole this picture. Sorry it's so big

[*Mike*]

Yes, a heavier rifle has better accuracy, but for the first time handling one, and while standing up, I couldn't steady the rifle, but when I used it on a table then it was accurate.

Raptor or Kyle, about how long is the blade, I need a new folding knife, and those knives look pretty good?

[raptorman]

the griptilian is only 3.45 inches. I carry it in the plane just in case I need to cut myself out of a jammed five point harness after a forced landing.

i told the lady at the united air terminal that last year...it didnt go over so well...

[raptorman]

I don't fly commercial. I don't go through customs, or security, and security isn't allowed near my aircraft.

Raptorman, can his work be found on a google search?

[jamoni]

I bet you it can't Somebody like that doesn't have to or want to advertise. They have better things to do than turn away 1,000 fan-boys a day. Suffice it to say that if you ever find yourself in the position to truly appreciate and afford such a sword, you'll know who to go to. That's just my $.02.

Ha good one. Want my address too?

[will]

oh i was kidding raptor about the security thing. heh.

BTW - can you fly helicopters?

[raptorman]

No, I only have thirty rotary wing hours (helicopter).
