Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades
-
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...
I’d bet a case of beer there will be civil unrest…

Very nice. Is that a custom version?
Jimmy made 13 of the original and half of those went to Stallone. The remainder are in private collections and run about $50k each. This version is Jimmy's design but made in partnership with custom knifemaker Vince Ford in a 100-piece run.

I'm going to reverse my stance when it comes to automatic knives, specifically OTF knives.
The conversation here spurred me to bring up while catching up with some friends that have either worked or work in law enforcement if an auto knife is good for self defense.
They brought up a good point, when you're getting pounded on or trying to retain your weapon, pulling out a pocketknife, putting your thumb on a thumbstud or index finger on a flipper, flipping out the knife and THEN having to readjust your grip is tough. According to them, there's a pretty high chance of dropping the knife. Having an auto you wouldn't have to adjust your grip.With that being said, they say a fixed blade is best.
Giving the Microtech Dirac a try after those conversations. -
@DougNg crikey I find it so sad that that's the perspective of a police officer. For me a kinfe is for opening packages and other such tasks. I really hope we can all get to a point where it doesn't feel necessary to pre-empt the use of lethal force just to keep safe

Why? He has a family and a right to defend himself both personally and professionally. I’m not defending the egregious attacks that officers have perpetrated but there are legit reasons for drawing a weapon.
I dont know Doug personally, but after reading him on the forums for the last 10 years, he seems to know his shit.
If I’m misunderstanding your perspective and you are making more of a social commentary then I apologize for calling you out. It’s easy to misconstrue opinions in the world that we live in today.

@Manticore that Lile designed bowie is just plain badass. Definitely a collector piece!

Where did I say lethal force was going to be used preemptively?
