Knife blogging

My mother’s knife

Fixed blade EDC knife. I was reading The Practical Guide to Everyday Carry Gear and it had a section on knife carry. It made a good case for a fixed blade.

    I need to read the book. Hopefully it will make a strong case for me to carry my Western Bowie, a’la Crocodile Dundee 2.

    Jay Fisher says there are no tactical/combat folding knives. After taking my Emerson SOCFK and applying pressure to the blade while using an imperfect grip and finding how easy it was to accidentally close it I changed my mind, agreed with Mr. Fisher, and bought a custom fixed blade knife, albeit one that cost 10 percent of the works of art Mr. Fisher makes.

    There is not an All-Around knife. IMHO. A knife is a tool, as is a gun, a car, an oven, etc… You would laugh at the knife I carry, every day. I got it at a fun show, so many years ago than I can remember. You need to think about what you want the knife to do.

    A couple or three of thoughts.

    I totally agree with Jerry. A knife is a wonderful and the earliest machine (look up “inclined plane” if you need to) but you would not shave with a Bowie or build a camp with a razor.

    On the subject of Bowies, Jim Bowie’s knife was nothing that had not existed for a long time — Spanish/Mediterranean single-edge large knife. The “Bowie” was Jim Bowie. His courage, strength, speed and ferocity.

    The first rule of a knife fight is “don’t”. If you must, don’t go James Dean dancing around like a ballerina. Grab on to your enemy with your off hand, hold him, and stab him as many times as you can at any soft part you can reach. The knife works mainly through blood loss but acts as its own bandage. For a stab to be effective, you need to pull the knife out. And stick it back in. And pull it out again. Et cet ….

    Ahh, just like a hockey fight!

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
