serr. poliwog?

My poliwog is close to being my favorite knife, and I am constantly dreaming of a reverse ''s'' blade, or at least serrated. T reverse ''s'' poli may be an expensive cricket, so I wouldent expect it to sell well.
But is a serrated blade in the future?

I don't see it as a mall ninga type knife. I do think it would be at least semi-practical, However I am quite certian, that I personaly, could not use it to much effect. It does still leave alot of vulnerabl spots on the body open to attack, and I don't see the use of the ''triangle''. But this is m...

Ive been eying these two for a little while, but I'm not sure wich one I should get.

Another plus' its downright beautifull :D . As far a...

What is an eccentric pivot, and how is it different than a ''normal'' pivot? I've seen several references to it on the millitary, but no description. Could someone aid me on this please?.....(please excuse my stupidity) :D Thankyou.
