I want these:







There's a bunch more I want so I'll just give the link: http://www.youwantit2.com/otherknives.html

Gerber Mark II would be a good choice as well if you are looking for a dagger/fighting/survival knife. The vintage ones you can get with out the serrated portions and just have a plain blade.

Funny you mention it, I was about to post one but thought I was getting carried away with my pictures. I prefer the non serrated ones.

The knife I'll probably get first is either a Rat-3/4 or a Gerber LMF II, but I really want a dagger too...mostly because they just look really classic.

That is cool!

Do you happen to know where I can find videos of them testing the knife on a human body?

Maybe a video of the knife being used in action of self defense?

[Nicademus]

You could buy one and make your own video. Maybe stab and uncle or something?

How does an exacto knife make you money?

That's not what those things are meant for. They're dive knives. They were designed for protection against shark attacks.

From their website:

As divers, we all know what the effects of compressed gas are underwater. Our training teaches us that our lungs would burst from over-inflation if we held our breath and rose to the surface. This principle is key to the effectiveness of the WASP Injection System.

This weapon injects a freezing cold ball of compressed gas, approximately the size of a basketball, at 800psi nearly instantly. The effects of this injection will drop many of the world's largest land predators. The effects of the compressed gas not only cause over-inflation during ascent when used underwater, but also freezes all tissues and organs surrounding the point of injection on land or at sea. When used underwater, the injected gas carries the predator to the surface BEFORE blood is released into the water. Thus giving the diver added protection by diverting other potential predators to the surface.

Anyway, it's a total load of crap. Pure fantasy mall-ninja b.s.

Yeah I don't really see the knife ever being use in a tactical manner. I mean if someone actually was able to use it on a shark, cool, good for them, but I just don't see someone getting a good strike that goes deep and dumps the gas at the right time. Perhaps the bubbles would scare the shark even if you missed? Much better knives you could buy for the money, I also suspect that if I stabbed someone with one of those I would get sued or in legal trouble because it would be considered cruel and unusual.

It's my main tool, aside from a pair of tweezers, for making decals.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Got a good friend of mine that dose the same thing, matter of fact I have to go pick up my local car club stickers from him today.

Yeah, if I were going to carry a knife that's illegal and would get me tossed in jail, I would just go with my old Benchmade AFO

[Nicademus]

There is no reason why that should be illegal. Is there some group of total waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles bitches that like to find anything cool and make it illegal because they were made fun of by the cool kids when they were little?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Its considered a switch blade by many jurisdictions as is any assisted open knife.


Emre: I used to have one as well, till I lent it out and never got it back, I need to get another one.
