| I'm on my way out the door to a Halloween party, so I'll make this | |
| quick. Knives are awesome. They are tools first, weapons second, | |
| and infinitely useful. I'm a Mora Classic #1 and #2 kind of guy. | |
| I have some Baretta tactical knives thate are pure beauty and | |
| a karambit that is sex in sickle form, but the work horse knife | |
| for me is the Mora. It runs about $12 retail in the US, and if | |
| well cared for it's multi-generational. The steel is excellent, | |
| the handle is sturdy. Great stuff. | |
| I'm disappointed in knife limiting laws. I don't see much of | |
| a parallel with gun control there. Gun's are instruments of death. | |
| Knives CAN be, but it is not a primary purpose. It's the same with | |
| an axe, or a hammer, for that matter. I like useful things, and | |
| sometimes those useful things are also beautiful. Knives... mmm. |
