      Mind you this is highly contextual: I rarely hear of someone getting into a West Side Story style knife fight. What I have heard several times are stories of a Law Enforcement Officer, military serviceman or contractor needing to retain their firearm and using their bladed weapon.

      The situation as follows: bad guy is going for their firearm and the firearm is being retained (the rifle is held against the chest with the dominant hand, or the handgun is being forced back into the holster by the dominant hand). The protagonist has both their dominant hand and primary weapon in a forced retention position and the support hand has to draw a bladed weapon to break contact, be that stabbing until compliance or death.

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

        Maybe of interest to followers if this thread. My wife’s cousin lives outside of Alesund in the south west of Norway and taught himself knife-making three years ago. He’s making some interesting stuff…

              Nice. That's a Warren Osborne design. I have one of his dress knives in my collection, you can clearly see the relation:

                That’s very classy.  That’s the kind of knife you pull out at a dinner party when someone asks you to cut something and they’re like “Whaaaat?!?!” and you’re like “This old thing?  I scrape paint with this.”

                  The knife is awesome and it made me fall in love with mother-of-pearl, which is impossible to photograph well unfortunately.

                          In the spirit of sharing, I’ve been going through my knife box and pulled out these two little cutters by Fred Perrin. I am a big fan of his knives because of their performance, simplicity, and value. His knives are a bargain in the world of customs and he is a generally nice guy to deal with. That being said, I’d be pretty scared if he ever got pissed off [emoji15]



                          If you cant even see the edge you know it’s sharp!

                            I've been browsing knife webshops & forums a lot the last few days…. I don't really expect civil unrest, but then again nobody ever expect it until it rushes a you... Getting a few pieces in the next couple weeks...

                                  Cant remember if I shared this one but here it is again. The Gambler’s Vest Bowie by Craig Camerer with a coffin handle, damascus fittings, and a W2 blade with hamon.

                                    Got my first spyderco recently, UKPK. Also featured is a black fox bean and A Wright. UK legal carry requires slip joint, under 3 inch cutting blade, non threatening appearance, and a police officer that interprets the law liberally!

                                          Going through some spring cleaning over the weekend and got reacquainted with this beauty. For background, Jimmy Lile was a US-based knifemaker who was asked by Sylvester Stallone to make the knives for the first two Rambo films. This is the 1st version from the movie First Blood.
