      @DougNg:

      … 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

      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.

        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

          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.

            if you get a shotgun for home protection, choose one with barrell lenght max. 20".
            Easier to point in corridors and other cramped places. I have a old Mossberg 500 with 20" barrell and that's easy to handle. Also in the bushes when I go hunting, which is very seldom these days.

              Last one for today, Chris Reeve Knives Nkonka, limited edition in 3v steel

              Blade and handle are a single piece of steel for strength, hollow handle to accept the screwdriver set (but you can remove this to stuff your other things in there or leave it empty to reduce weight

              reeve rocks! 😘

                Hey Doug…
                Still any forward momentum on the IH knife brainstorming?

                  Haraki didn't want to do an IH knife, so that project has been cancelled

                                        Never heard of this guy.

                                        Personally, I don't like the low sabre grinds

                                        I also strongly dislike 440C steels. Sure, they're very corrosion resistant, but they don't keep an edge worth a damn

                                        He does use carbon steels like 1095 and L6, which I do like, but most people don't care for carbon steel
