A real knife,,,,,,,,,,,

http://www.sunfishforge.com/lgbowiehanson.html

[Kentbob]

A "real" knife that I would not:

Use in the desert for opening MREs

Carry for everyday self-defense

Use to cut paracord

Train with on my warpost

Use to cut open packages from UPS

Use to open beer bottles

So, yeah, it's "real"...real pretty.  At $2800, not real useful for everyday life. 

I prefer this

http://www.1sks.com/store/benchmade-556-pink.html

Much more suitable for everyday situations.  And still pretty.

pretty, but nowhere near as good looking as the Super Hero "The Bob"

Kent, I take back anything good I ever wrote about you, your nothing but a cunt.

LOL!!!!!!!

There's a market for pink and girly self-defense product's. A lot of women are put off by black and metallic stuff, macho names extra.

If you had a pink stun-gun and called it the lady's best friend or something it would sell !

I think the lady's friend vibrates.

And everybody knows that if it's not pink it's not tactical.

The knife is a 100% functional piece of art made by one of the greatest bladesmiths in the history of the world. I don't believe anyone in the business would argue Don was not one of the top ten living bladesmiths in the United States. He is also in the running for one of the top ten all time bladesmiths in the United States. From his fighters to his elephant toes he is a master of the craft.

Trying to turn this into some silly argument about is a insult to the craft and craftsman. If people don't like me that's fine, if you got amateur ideas about steel and want to write like a moron, go for it. Just don't confuse functional art and appreciating it as being out of touch with practicality, no same same.

"Piece of art"

I'm not in the habit of depending on $2800 "pieces of art" for everyday use.  So...that makes this knife effectively useless to me and a whole host of other people, whereas the Benchmade mini-Griptilian (mine is actually in superhero Purple) is a fine, pretty piece for everyday use, for everything that I listed and more.  I said the knife was pretty...more than once I think...

You didn't title the post "artistic tac folder" it was "scary tac folder".  I expected it would either be horrible quality, or a new practical folder from one of the big companies.  Once again, I would like to point out that you're an idiot, this time because you apparently don't know how to use English to say what you mean.

I don't know Don, but apparently he does good work.  He also makes stuff that I contend is impractical.

I knew it was purple!

[Keith Miller]

I knew it was purple!

Anything less would be...uncivilized.

[Keith Miller]

I have this: NOT IN SUPERHERO PURPLE



Now...if you take your grinder, and cut that hole out...leaving the back tip. Then grind down the top of the blade...you got yourself a homemade "WAVE". Opens as I pull it out of my pocket...slick as a whistle.

And it didn't cost me $2800...which is a retarded price to begin with.

[Webby]

What's wrong with this guy ?? Calling someone a cunt on a forum site ! That's not on , surely. Can all who agree with me please do as I'm doing and inform the moderater.

This type of behaviour is... Well words fail me. If someone has issue to the degree that thing's get nasty I suggest private communication NOT ON A PUBLIC FORUM or better still ' If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all '.

People new to martial art's, combat training etc will see that post and may be put off.
That would be a great shame..

Webby.

Bryan-that is just plain ignorant of you to print something like that-ignorant ognorant ignorant-
As for the $2800 dollar knife shown-that is also a ignorant piece of metal.
I really think the post was actually a joke-right?
Hope so.
As for a good knife-I went to a sporting goods  store and with my birthday gift from my son baught a Buck folder for $45.00-it opens with one hand  and is very sharp
Snap out of it son - lifes to short.

You didn't title the post "artistic tac folder" it was "scary tac folder".

I thought the price tag alone made it worthy of the "scary" title!

As far as Bryan's name calling goes...it is getting rather old. Kentbob and JimH are the usual victims of Bryan's written wrath and deal with it accordingly, but it really reflects a significant lack of professionalism and maturity when someone is attacked everytime they disagree with your particular point of view.

We're pretty good about policing ourselves on this forum (the last time a moderator had to step in, someone went "bye-bye"). So, what do you say Bryan? How about let's just agree that enough is enough, and (at least attempt) to discuss things without resorting to all the infantile name-calling.

Easy-peasy.
