Knives anyone?

Sir it looks like a WW2 Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife., specifically designed to go through ribcages. Ouch.

thanks, thanks!

not exactly through the rib cage but either between or right above the left collar bone.

the commando using is supposed to approach from behind and sink it below the left side of the neck where he can pierce the aorta and heart while the other hand is covering the mouth of his victim.

if stabbing doesn't work, there's still a pommel underneath the scales to crack the skull.

The U.S.A.F. Issued 8 point hats?

Not all the time. But, I got issued them depending on where I was sent or what unit I was attached to. Unlike other specialties, AF weather folks get farmed out to whatever unit or branch of service that required weather support. Almost all my deployments were with the army (plus a marine unit). Not once have I deployed with an AF unit.

I had a desert cam flop hat that should have been hanging on the wall. But, my uncle wanted it. Not sure why. It was worn out and grimy from use. I gave it to him, anyway. I also had an unused desert flop hat. But, one of my wife's pretty friends wanted it. Of course, I gave it to her. Can't say no.

The first knife i bought along the sidewalk of Avenida; it had a "Rambo" Ka-Bar style blade, probably entirely made out of iron, with a hilt like that of the Fairbarins-Sykes ^_^. The entire blade is rusted out now, but surprisingly the hilt is still intact(although a little bent), so i'm guessing brass?

I bought this cheap at the flea market. When I tested it for a couple of strikes the blade flew off. Lucky no one was in front of me. Of course made in tsayna

^Kukri is a top heavy knife that can be swung or thrown like an ax. It's not meant to fly back like a boomerang. The center of gravity of a boomerang is in the empty space between the tips that's why it curves when it flies.

Gurkhas during world war II silently hacked down a japanese battalion with that weapon.

To mind, only Xena Warrior Princess has ever thrown and caught a bladed weapon with her bare hands :D



Could you effectively block a kukri/machete/heavy knife using a katana? Feeling ko either the katana will break, or the kukri will push it aside owing to the heft.

A good katana holder will cut your limbs or the handle of a tough metal weapon instead of blocking it. Plus speed is always better than raw power in a knife fight or sword fight. Remember that a katana can also be used as a thrust weapon instead of a slash weapon if ever the enemy has a more durable weapon. imho lang naman.

Does anyone own a "Hamburg" sharpening stone, the one that comes in the green/black box being sold in Ace/mall hardware stores? Any idea what the grit size is on the coarse/fine sides?

Wonder if I should push through with the Sese Mountaineer knife....

Am planning to get a balisong trainer, i'm just curious about the opening/closing technique. Mas ok ba yung branded (kershaw or whatever) or buy local? Will wait til after elections ...mahirap na.

[XTO]

I remember, may kapitbahay kami dati nagwala lumabas dala yung katana (sabi naming mga bata samurai ) walang umawat, lahat nagpasukan sa bahay - ayun pumasok din agad.
