It's a pretty good bet that every gun owner has at least one knife other than the ones found in the kitchen. Whether it be a defensive weapon, a multi-tool, or a blade to open packages and clean out your fingernails, I'm willing to bet the vast majority of members here have a blade of some sort within arms' reach right now. Is it possible to start a new Forum concerning knives? I'm pretty sure just one forum topic will generate enough conversation that it would get confusing trying to scroll through it all. A new Forum would allow sub-topics for people to discuss what they prefer. I doubt many have a Cold Steel Recon Tanto in their glovebox, and I personally don't care much about Swiss Army knives. This would generate quite a bit more discussion and probably increase membership, allowing more people to be exposed to the gun culture. Just a thought. And now for the attention getting comment; If you can't win their hearts and minds, then expose their hearts and minds to open oxygen. WHEN IN DOUBT, THIRTY OUT!!

What's the consensus on this?
charley9toe
I love it ! I collect straight knives.
tazor_123
I have a knife, that I am pretty sure, actually I'm positive, that the thing with give you tetnes. It's really REALLY rusted. I got rid of the thing when I got my taser.
GLOCKSTER
nice idea
runawaygun762
for a college kid, your spelling sucks. I doubt you are who you say, I think you're a fifteen year old boy with one foot in the closet still.
tazor_123
I know it sucks!, well god! You guys are so judgmental! And I'm NOT a fifteen-year-old guy, ask around.
runawaygun762
I'll ask around. Like that'll do anything. You suck. Taze yourself to death and stop polluting my topic.
tazor_123
You stay outta my way and I'll stay outta yours, becuase apperntly, you don't like me. Alright?
runawaygun762
Stop flirting with me. I don't swing that way, fella.
tazor_123
Yeah, ok, this might be a joke, but I am not flirting with you.
Schuyler
It shouldn't be allowed in a knife forum on account of it's an embarrasment and would be shunned and bullied by all the other knives. Really. Best thing you could do would be throw it away. Even a Swiss Army knife is superior to your POS.
runawaygun762
Piss off, guy. If you're a college student, shouldn't you be in class. English 101, perhaps?
runawaygun762
It wouldn't make a very good defensive weapon, but it'd be fine for whittlin' or opening packages. Hell, pieces of obsidian or flint have a place in a knife discussion.
Mark3030
what do you think of this?
If you read this, you WILL forward it on.
You just won't be able to stop yourself.
The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's, but he has never collected unemployment either.
He's a recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student , pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and a 155mm howitzer..
He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark.
He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must.
He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional..
He can march until he is told to stop, or stop until he is told to march.
He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity.
He is self-sufficient.
He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry.
He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts.
If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low.
He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands.
He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job.
He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay, and still find ironic humor in it all.
He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime.
He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed.
He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away ' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking.
In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home , he defends their right to be disrespectful..
Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great- grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy.
He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years.
He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding. Remember him, always, for he has earned our
respect and admiration with his blood.
And now we even have women over there in danger, doing their part in this tradition of going to War when our nation calls us to do so.
As you go to bed tonight, remember this shot. . .
A short lull, a little shade and a picture of loved ones in their helmets.
A Prayer wheel for our military...
please don't break it Please send this on after a short prayer.
Prayer Wheel
'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.'
When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops in Afghanistan , sailors on ships, and airmen in the air, and for those in Iraq , Afghanistan and all foreign countries.
There is nothing attached...
This can be very powerful...
Of all the gifts you could give a U.S. Airman, Soldier, Coastguardsman, Marine,or Sailor, prayer is the very best one.
I can't break this one, sorry.
Pass it on to everyone and pray .
Kerryod
Thank you for putting that up, my youngest son is nearly 19 and wants to join up as his Grandfather, his Uncles and I did.
'Never forget' I think is the thing we should say on rising and before going to bed, because if we forget and future generations forget then all that was done was for nothing.
Schuyler
that the sharpest thing on it is the rust. Obsidian, now THAT'S sharp!
runawaygun762
I don't forward. I've seen so many of these things already, it's ridiculous. I try to keep God out of my work anyway. I've never called upon him in times of distress, I figure he'll decide which side to take. I trust in my training and my soldiers whom I've trained.
tazor_123
Runaway, I am not gonna make a sence here, OK, Just leave me alone, becuase you are talkin BULL about me.
Mark3030
I wasn't presenting it from a theological piont I thought it was appropriote for the solders. (sorry)
Ironkoji
I've never met anyone under fire who wasn't praying like crazy. And to care for and pray for do whatever we can for our warriors in harm's way is a good thing no matter what anyone says to you Mark. You keep it up with stuff like this.
Koji
PS yes you can do your job and keep your mind on your job under fire and still pray like crazy. Somehow I don't find anything weird or unusual in that at all.

I like the idea of a knife forum. I always carry a sypderco endura in my pocket and sometimes keep a cold steel voyager on me.
runawaygun762
Then stop posting. You make an ass out of yourself every time you do. Post a pic of the Tazer you actually own. I'm calling bullshit. As long as you play the part of the drama queen, I will call you out on being a fifteen year old boy. Tom Selleck is your 6'4" "boyfriend", isn't he?
runawaygun762
How about it? Should I just PM them?
Schuyler
with that 'knife' of hers. It's the only way it could do any damage.
tazor_123
I don't care runaway! Do whatever you want! I'm not afraid of you.
catfish88
Oh looke, a lover's quarrel!
tazor_123
Since when were you in this conversatoin? Yeah, I might make a fool outta myself everytime I post but everyone can bite me.
catfish88
Tazor, I"m not in this. Runaway is always giving people shit. It's just his way. Just role with it girl. When he bites, just bite back. I just found the banter between you too funny, that's all.
tazor_123
ok, SORRY, I'm tring to put my best foot foward here, (With they men here) and I am not doing such a good job.
ivantank
I carry a ball pene hammer...don't know where i got the idea
Mark3030
I like your idea. and it fits in the backpoket. LOL
runawaygun762
For the fifth time, stop PMing me!! I don't do the cyber sex thing. Fag.
tazor_123

runawaygun762
I don't know much about knife prices, as I never really looked at the price tag, but I really like the assisted opening Ken Onion designed folders made by Kershaw knives and I think just about anything made by Columbia River Knife and Tool is well worth the money. In my pocket right now is a Benchmade Mel Pardue knife, because my platoon leader bought one for each squad leader and had our names and call signs engraved on the blade prior to the last deployment. I have knives by nearly every mainstream manufacturer at home. One of my last picks would be the Smith and Wesson knives ans they get loose and dull very quickly. Gerber makes decent knives, but their steel has gotten awfully soft and I only like their multi-tool. I plan to post a series of pics of all my knives, but only if a new topic is created, as I don't want to violate the guidelines for posting pics and it will be quite a few pics to show them all even if put by category as most have some sort of story.

I PERSONALLY THINK GUNS AND KNIVES GO HAND IN HAND. AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS FORUM. MY BUDDY AT WORK WAS JUST SHOWING ME HIS KERSHAW KNIFE AND I TOLD HIM I WILL ONE DAY KILL HIM FOR IT.
runawaygun762
I got in a fight with three guys in a club and one stabbed me in the hand. I put two in the hospital, one in Intensive Care. Okay, that's all a lie that I told people when my hand was bandaged up. I was opening a pellet gun with my Kershaw when it slipped and I put the knife through my hand, filleted off a piece of flesh, and severed an artery, all requiring 23 stitches. The really fucked up part was that I had a pair of scissors on the floor next to me. The funny thing is that I actually did get stabbed in the hand by a Mexican and he only caused a very small puncture before I took his knife away. So I am more dangerous with a knife than a Mexican. At least to myself. Don't judge.
ebear
what kind of pellets and how many?my sister stabbed me in the forehead with a fork because I threw a piece of steak fat on her plate. The fork was infected with the deadly Ebolla virus and my arms fell off for a whole week.
samD
is a brotha with a straight razor. They scare the shit out of me. I have 1 razor scar and 2 knife scars. I have a Buck knife 5" lock back blade. Keeps a damn fine edge.
samD
You are incorrigable.At leats it wasn't puerco fat.
runawaygun762
It was a single shot that I used to take quite a few squirrels and sparrows from my third-floor apartment balcony in KS. I just threw it away a couple days ago, the seal to the air piston went out. Oh well, time to get an adult air rifle. Ebolla is for pussies. I've had AIDS three times. I just go to Jiffy Lube for a flush and fill of the veins and arteries and I'm good as new. That's a joke, but I bet it's only a matter fo time before medical science is able to do that for people with blood-related problems.

LittleDragon
