Knives 'N Stuff

[SnaFuBAR]

So, here's a thread for us to post our manly necessities. Knives, sunglasses, lighters, wallets, watches, etc.

NO TECH, NO AIRSOFT, NO GUNS. This is mostly day-to-day pocket items.

Ray-Ban Aviators, Tanto, Fury throwing knives (one large one small), Hibben set of 3 throwing knives, Swiss Army pocket knife and a magnum-boker lock-back pocket knife.

Horrid camera phone image. This is one of my favorite nonused swords. Controller is there for size reference. It's about 5 and a half feet long. Its just one of my babies. Maybe later I can be fucked into posting my whole collection.

Maybe not a pocket necessity.. but a necessity...

My katana > your katana

Look at that motherfucking temper line. Pure carbon steel, fuck yeah. This shit'll cut you in two from your fucking shoulder to your fucking hip.

funny story, I have a very similar katana hanging over my PC right now. And another similar one wedged between my bed and the wall. Also, the one I showed isn't a katana, its a No dashi. "horse killing sword"

[StankBacon]

[Sever]

In my pockets I have...

my wallet
a set of keys
a spare hairband
loose change
a double-a battery

That's all I ever regularly carry around, and all I ever really need, other than tools for work and supplies for school.

My collection is small and undistinguished, but apparently the Katana is real, my dad picked it up when he went to Japan.

[ExAm]

You have awakened my inner weeaboo, and he demands to know how much the katana cost. From that flashy saya you've got there I'd say that thing's a piece of shit stainless steel job with an acid etched temper line. If it's lightweight and will hold a bent shape, it's probably stainless, and if you haven't had to maintain it properly (e.g. regular cleaning and re-oiling) then it's probably either said cheapo stainless sword or it's got a thick coating of museum strength grease on it, because otherwise it would have visibly rusted by now. Additionally If you can't sever a young tree's two-inch trunk in one swing (Making a PROPER diagonal cut with a slicing motion and not a chopping motion) it ain't the real deal.

A side-by-side set of two tatami mat rolls like this takes about the same amount of force to cut through as a human torso.
One is the equivalent of a hip, including the bone.

Please satisfy my curiosity so I can send my inner weeaboo back to where he belongs. Suppressed and forced to sulk behind my hippocampus.

I have no idea how much it cost, plus my dad got it when he went there on his honeymoon like 20-25 years ago so the prices would be skewed... It does hold bends though, as I just found out by applying a bit of pressure.

I broke my aviators and I need a new lighter
:(

[p0lar_bear]

I used to have a Timex Reef Gear watch, but I ended up getting water in it and something shorted, leaving the display all sorts of fucked up.

I have a little red Swiss Army pocket knife with my name engraved into it, but I can't find it at the moment...

[Limited]

Considering 80% of the items in this thread are illegal to have in the UK. I only have a watch lol.

Isnt it illegal to carry them knifes around?

Also I hate knifes even more than guns, your a pussy if you need a knife to fight someone...Then again they are likely to have one to, so you need to protect yourself I guess.

[Maniac]

I agree 100%, there is a massive knife problem in the UK.

There is, however there are other ways of protecting yourself without having to carry a knife. Carrying one just adds to the whole problem.

Cant you guys carry legal CS spray and other non lethal devices?

[Maniac]

Bear scare FTW :)

Its better than cs gas and is readily available in any outdoors/hunting store in Canada.

That sucks, but post your watch anyways.

It's legal to carry almost any knife, of any size. If it's a folding blade you don't have to expose it. Fixed blade of any length must be exposed or it's a felony. You can also carry a sword, which I did once, to go get it appraised. Most counties allow for open carry of a hand gun or long gun. Open carry permits you to carry a lethal, unloaded weapon as long as it's exposed.

I've used blades to protect myself, my property and others. Indication that you're carrying a weapon usually cools off a situation, and it straightens people's heads out. A guy was going to bash his girl's face in until I stepped between them and pulled a knife. Similarly, I caught two people breaking into my car, and being outnumbered they may have resorted to violence, but with my knife already out, they ran away.

tl;dr: Any weapon carried in public places is of social benefit when the carrier intends it as a means of public safety. The cops are not a first line of defense. First line of defense is situational awareness, conflict avoidance, and appropriate response when yourself/others are in danger.

I wish I could carry around my CS:S Spray.

Mallet is the best thing in this thread. + rep to you, sir!

What's that lens you got there in the background?

[DarkHalo003]

Well, I honestly don't have that many knives. I have a green swiss army that's about 3-4 inches long, a generic red Swiss Army as big as the ones before this post, but I do technically own a nicely carved Honduran Knife. It's handle and sheathe are carved to where you see many tropical creatures and plants. Very interesting. Can't a pic though due to me being too lazy or not caring to pull it out. It's a foot or a little bit more long.

[rossmum]

fuck your swiss army knives,

will post bayonet soon as i can get a photo of it

[Donut]

:o
oh shit i should get a picture of some of my stuff
E: ok here it is. as you can see, i had to pile shit up around the spot where all that stuff was, so dont mind the two empty 3-liter bottles of rootbeer and empty iced tea cans.
i was a little iffy about the watch since its digital, but whatever. bottle is just there to hold the watch in place
the belt is just a belt. because every guy needs a belt. you see that fur? that shit is real horse fur right there. a horse got his ass skinned for that.
oh and those feet in the image too. i use them alot.
E2: and the golf ball is just a golf ball. i found it out in the woods while i was exploring.

If I can get my hands on a camera I'll post a pic of my kabar and a few other knives I have.

You all scare me :0

[Donut]

i have what i thought were real samurai swords. turns out they were shitty replicas. my cat knocked one over and the handle fell off. the whole blade was held on with a half inch thick tab of metal and wax. good thing i never tried to defend myself with it :mad:

[TVTyrant]

Why would you defend yourself with a sword anyways? Katanas are offensive weapons. Go Kodachi if your defending...

But then how would he find his stuff?

But really, I have some old bayonnettes too. One of them is a used german ww2 bayonette, I forget which gun it is meant to attach to. will post pics when I get home, but the original handle cracked and broke off in apparently (says my grandpa who's dad brought it back from his own tour) so instead of nazi insignias, its been replaced with plain wood and brass.

Most likely a Kar98K, I think that's the only German rifle that attached a bayonet and was used in WWII in any significant numbers

that's why you use a gun like i did at 4am...

You get in a lot of bad situations Snaf. First some guy about to kill a woman, then dudes breaking into your car, and now getting robbed? Jesus dude, where do you live? East LA?

which is why my shotgun is next to my bed :D

I live near long beach. my city is actually pretty nice, it's just surrounded by scumbag cities. My family and I ran some drug runners out of the neighborhood. Literally. We chased them with our SUV's.

In my old city we had a bomb threat on our block, which resulted in a drug raid, and a Fed raid on a store half a block away from my house. Oh and there was that time i got shot at by gang members that was fun.

[Cortexian]

Heh, there was a gang war around the corner from my old high school when I was there. It was a pretty dumb move on their part because the school I go to has it's own police officer stationed in it, he grabbed his M4 (Police Officers now carry M4's instead of shotguns in their cruisers here) and called for backup after the reports of gunfire and they arrested all but two or three of the gang kids (out of 10 or so). It was pretty awesome, except for the kids that saw one of the gangsters get shot. I never saw that, and I suspect it never happened because there was no news about anyone getting shot and all the kids said there was "blood spraying everywhere"...

Haha, my old house was kinda like that, but we had dogs. There are all these half ass gang kids who like to hang out there, and one day they decided to try to break into our house. First thing I hear is the door crashing in. Then dogs barking/growling. Then screaming, lots and lots of screaming. Then my Dad pumping his 16 gauge and yelling. Yeah, it was pretty fucking awesome.

tl:dr version: Snaf lives in the hood.

Seriously snaf you place sounds horrible. Jeez. Theres alot of rapes and murders in the parks where I live, but avoiding them at night/being able to run fast tackles that problem.

There is a ton of break-ins here though, so I'm slightly getting worried.

[rossmum]

We have a few fuckwits around here, but nothing that serious. The last murder I can remember within a ten-minute drive around here was about eight years ago, and the majority of crimes are break-ins and armed robberies (where nobody gets hurt). Worst I've ever had was my letterbox knocked off its post by a bunch of random drunks wandering down our street, up in Newcastle one of my housemates had her boyfriend's car broken into parked outside the house and there was the infamous drunken fairy incident, but that was it.
