    How many of you are into Bowie knives?

    THREAD TITLE: How many of you are into Bowie knives? MY COMMENT: Better to be into Bowie knives than to have Bowie knives into YOU.

  2. Auto knives legal?

    State law, for the State of Georgia, doesn't address switchblades / auto-openers as far as I know. Federal law DOES, but it only bans the sale of such knives in interstate commerce. So if I were a retail seller, I would not acquire any such knives online, knowing that they were made overseas...

    I don't get it....

    Is one of the "blades" a penis ruler? Because spending $500 for a $19 pocket knife means you're compensating for some other inadequacy.

  4. throwing knife selection

    It works well, whether I hold it by the blade and throw it to get half a rotation... ... or hold it by the handle, take a couple steps further back, and throw it to get one complete 360° rotation.

  5. throwing knife selection

    M7 military bayonet, new contract overrun, by the Ontario knife company. I've had it for a few years to go with my full length AR-15 that looks like an M16A1, but decided that since I've never gonna use it for anything else, I might as well start throwing it at soft wood like this stump...

    What knives should i carry in a store??

    An idea: Have an Area set up for knife throwing. Sell a couple different styles of throwing knives (I recommend really large ones because they rotate more smoothly and stick in the target more reliably). I would guess that many people who get interested in throwing knives will also attempt...

    Need bayonet restored

    As an aside, if you want to have it as a reminder of history, as something from an important period of time, I think it's perfectly OK to restore it to LOOK LIKE IT DID at that time. How would it have appeared when worn on the belt of a private in the Japanese Army on an island in the Pacific...

    Need bayonet restored

    There are a lot of YouTube videos about restoring old knives. One of my favorites was a huge meat cleaver. It got a new shape (major griding there), polished to an excellent finish (and the maker's mark was still visible when it was done), and a new wooden handle created and fitted.

  9. If you had $200 to spend on a pocket knife, what would you pick up?

    $200 to spend? Twenty knives like this for about 10 bucks each. That way If I lose one every year, I'll still have all the knives I need for the next 20 years

  10. anyone know where to get kitchen knives sharpened?

    I've also made dull knives "pretty sharp" with a pull-through sharpener like this. I don't own one, but I've used them. They'll get a knife 90% as good as I want it, but I usually want to follow up with a finer honing after that.

  11. anyone know where to get kitchen knives sharpened?

    I don't own expensive knives, nor do I need them to be like a shaving razor. I like them sharp enough to shave arm hair WITH SOME PRESSURE, not like a shaving safety razor would, with just a touch and almost no downward pressure. I've tried sets of honing stones, both coarse and fine, with oil...

    Newbie w/ a few questions...

    I use WD-40 on my blades after I clean them or just sharpen them. I don't expect it to last long but if I'm gonna be using beI clean them or just sharpen them I don't expect it to last long but if I'm going to be using the blade within a month or two it can sit around with that light coat of...

  13. Need recommendations for a 18"-24"+ machete

    PS: I've tried 20 inch and 22 inch bladed machetes, and I think they're too long; they don't have a good balance and they can snag on things if you use them in the bushes, in a jungle environment.

  14. Need recommendations for a 18"-24"+ machete

    The smallest one shown here is a thin bladed cheap junky machete by Ozark Trail. A Walmart brand I believe. I leave it on my riding lawnmower. The middle one is an Ontario Knife Company 12 inch machete, and the one on the right is an OKC 18 inch machete with a bright orange handle.

  15. Need recommendations for a 18"-24"+ machete

    Crazy talk. Thick and heavy machetes cut better-- at least if you're chopping wood more than 3/4 inch thick, and not tall grass or harvesting hay.

  16. Need recommendations for a 18"-24"+ machete

    Ontario Knife Co. (OKC) has excellent quality mill spec blades that are much thicker than commercial machetes that most homeowners and even many professional landscapers use. Remember, landscapers are always losing their machetes, leaving them behind at job sites, so they tend not to buy...

    What is the law on knife carrying?

    I just saw a guy stopping by a convenience store in cumming wearing (4) knives openly carried: * two folding clippy knives, * a fixed blade knife in a belt sheath, * and a boot knife clipped to his boot on the outside -- the outside of his ankle. Probably more folded and in his pockets...

    Used and Broken Tools

    2 years ago I was helping my brother clean out the house that he bought were the prior owners left a bunch of old rusted tools in the basement. I think I kept a dozen things for myself for actually use, but at least 100 pounds worth went to the local metal recycling yard. I'll bet most of those...

  19. Are there any knife throwing contests

    I've fooled around with knife throwing sets for years --generally cheap ones, not spending more than $40 for a set of three. But the best throwing knives I've ever used are actually Glock field knives (FM 81, although FM 78 would be preferable if I could find a good source for those at the same...

    Knife Sharpening

    You need a lawyer to draw up a no-liability waiver, release, and assumption of risk form for your clients to sign before you release a ninja-assassin light-saber sharp things to their possession. ;-)
