@Geo:
i genuinely was given a bit of a talking to about my lagioule corkscrew by a policeman obviously with nothing better to do . . . the 'blade' is about and inch and half foil cutter
Well, you might have run amok and peeled someone or something. Screw-caps for wine bottles from now on, it's the only way to protect society from the cork screw wielding maniacs!
would have a lot less bothered had I used it and downed a couple of bottles first! or maybe that would've made it worse

DS - you'd totally get about 15 consecutive life sentences for that collection . . . you're a bad man
No, not really football violence (there isn't even much of that now) - just tough line on stamping out violence of any sort . . . rules are similar in a lot of europe
A lot depends on the attitude of local police forces too

CnC Bladewerkz Dragon Karambit, modified by myself. I took the standard Dragon Karambit design, made the blade oversized, made the rippers on the spine oversized (and added more rippers), added red dymondwood scales, and James Coogler (the knifemaker behind CnC Bladewerkz) created it for me

Also made by Joe Brum
I've adapted the sheath so I can carry the knife by my appendix, tip up, for quick deployment from under a shirt and can be driven up towards the liver/lungs/heart in a fraction of a second. Blade shape is an American Tanto with a zero ground front edge for maximum penetration through ribs

Doug the more I read your posts, the more I want to give you a hug.
Some serious hardware you have here

The Nkonka kind of goes with the IH motorcycle specialties theme
Chris Reeve was a competitive motorcycle racer back in the day. This knife was envisioned as something you would take with you on the road: simple, versatile design, with some of the tools you would need if a tune up was necessary
Before anyone asks, the Nkonka in 3v is no longer available. It was a limited edition of 200, never to be made again. The Nkonka in the standard A2 steel can still be found at a premium on eBay, since the entire one piece line was discontinued last year.

I can see it now, DougNg wandering some dark street when he's approached by some hoodlums… "Hey nice jeans, are those William Rast?"
In the blink of an eye the blade penetrates below the xiphoid, traverses the left lobe liver and diaphragm to reach the base of heart, terminating in the left ventricle.
(kidding, kidding, of course)

All of the killing intent is purely fantasy (though the martial arts I practice makes extensive use of both large and small knives)
Most of the time, all I carry is a small, non locking knife with two blades: one for food (cutting an apple, sandwiches, steak) and the other for all other non food work (opening boxes, removing staples)
For home defense I'll be buying a Sig Sauer P226 with .357 Sig rounds and probably a shotgun when funds are available.

As much as it is so much less sexy than a nice handgun, a shotgun really is the best home defense weapon for most. Just the sound of the pump action is gonna be enough to scare off most bad guys, you don't have to be super accurate, and it's gonna stop anything.
