An interesting &(sadly)necessary thread! Question:In the'Plain vs.Serrated Edge'thread I comment on the legal implications of apperance of the knife.I got these thought from Massad Ayoob's articles in 'Combat Handguns'.Can or will any of you lawyers comment on this? Am I on the right track or bl...

Sorry about the &quot<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> it was supposed to be " )

IWB means inside the waistband.The knife(or handgun,as this is a common carry for sidearms as well.There are specific holsters for this carry.)is carried between one's pants & skin(or underwear,as the case may be)with the bulk of the weapon inside the pants & thus concealed by the waistband ...

One problem with serrated edged & hawkbill-shaped blades is that of image.If you defend yourself with any weapon that weapon will be confiscated & presented as evidence to law enforcement agencies & juries,& rest assured the lawyer against you will make much of 'this vicious knife de...

This is gonna sound smartass:I apologize for that but this is the best way I know to put it. The collector's value of anything is what someone will pay you for it. My sons went thru a'Magic' card phase:"Oh Wow! The magazine sez this card's worth $300"!(mad dash to the comic store)"Uhh...

Well Said BRAM!-there is no one'right'way.I reckon that's why there's so many different styles of martial arts.

I tought the 50/50 edge was a gimmick:now I wonder how I lived without it!*VBG*

copilotboy:Adrenalin & other physiological factors act to prevent pain in stress situations.At the 1988'Miami Massacre'one bad guy(Matrix)took 1 fatal bullet wound to the chest,had his forearm broken by another shot & his feet literally filled with buckshot yet was able to return fire,charge...

I second tique's suggestion:Come to Nashville!

CORRECTION! That should read"3-4 foot of seasoned hickory".Apologies.

I'm also copying my post from the General Forum,but editing some responses specific to there. I've been on both ends of the blade & offer the following thoughts: 9 times out of 10 in a knife fight you are going to be cut.Accept & live with that.Your goal is to control WHERE you'll be cut &am...

I've been on both ends of the blade & offer the following thoughts: 9 time out of 10 in a knife fight you are going to be cut.Accept & live with that.Your goal is to control WHERE you'll be cut. Bringing a knife is a gunfight is not the silly idea it seems:see the'American Handgunner'2001 an...
