You could always sharpen a butter knife, wrap the handle with duct tape, and get the same results. If you want a knife for camping and fishing get a Swiss Army knife. Fact: you cannot kill with a Swiss Army knife so don't worry. Ha!
A combat knife? Do you think I will use it to attack people?

perhaps not instantaniously but if you severed the jugular or another large blood vessel then they have only a limited amount of time to seek medical attention before the blood loss would kill them.
not that i know from experience . . . honest

Originally posted by MCAErr ah, i was just trying to make the point that just because a knife is Not called a 'Combat knife' it can still kill easily. People make the choice whether to kill with it or not. I especially like the can opener on the Swiss Army Knife. I like to use it instead of my brass knuckles.

thomaster..I carry a dosier design from kabar four inch blade very sharp I have it done at the factory which is near here. It has a belt clip and is quite fast to open, i use it daily for multiple uses but mostly to cut haybale ropes or to cut leather strips on bridles or harness. I bought a maserin switch blade while in rotterdam a few years ago, that company is now working with cutco which kabar is a subsidery. I find the dosier flip blade faster to access then the switchblade and both are equally sharp. I carried a buck special while in the army found it handled easier in the air then the baynot or kabar design but requires lots of practice to get accuracy...hope that helps

When covered in blood a wooden handle seems to have the best grip, in my experience. 🙂
