I was at the local gun & knife show today, looking at some new knives, wandering around, when I saw a pocket clip that looked like the "Gunting" spoon clip. Hmm....3 or 4 of the people standing in the group had the same clip hanging onto their pocket also. So I decided to bother them and see if it actually was a "Gunting". You betcha!! A gaggle of them!! I meet "Kenpoman"
from Bladeforums(CommonSense Self Defense - Street Combat) and a few of his friends. He had one of the prototype "Gunting's", someone else had a "Gunting" and the trainer, and then there were a few other "Gunting's" that came popping out. It was cool! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Of course I had no "Gunting" <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
A very interesting knife. Thanks for the quick "demo" "Kenpoman".

I don't know if I will get one or not. The Shabaria is #1 on my list, and the Chinese Lum is #2. The Gunting is a specialized piece of carry equipment, and I don't have the knowledge to use it to its full extent. I would love to have one just because it is designed for non-lethal defense. I think that would help in any situation where you had to defend yourself. Anyways, no time soon will I have one. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Hmmm I guess Kenpoman didn't do a good job of showing you if you still want another SPYDIE..LOL!
Use of a GUNTING is not rocket science...
its based on gross motor skill movement so that ANYONE can do it regardless of training...
Use of a knife closed ( a GUNTING first!) is a great option..Cutting is easy and the only option with any other knife...
Don't get me wrong you picked great knives as your other choices...

I didn't think about it like it was food. Good point Bram. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
I still want my Lum. I still have the "Blade" magazine that showed Mr. Lum's custom Chinese folder. I thought I would never own a Chinese folder from Mr. Lum since I didn't have the big $$$, but now I can have one!!! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
HAPPY HAPPY!! JOY JOY!!
