str8 up this thread looks like a conversation between serial killers


Like jack and I say, people who use knives know that they are tools and see them as such. People who actually think like serial killers are the ones who think knives are for killers lol. I look at a knife and see a tool. If you look at it and see a killing device, yikes!!!

Oh cool do you practice swordplay then? I have two cousins my age who are brothers and super into swordplay. When they were younger one of them build a chain mail out of coke can tabs and then told the other to swing a sword at his forearm to test it. End result: sword did not make it through, no cuts at all!...... but a broken forearm lmao. Everytime I visit home they make me practice with them using wooden swords and they basically beat the shit out of me lol. They know all the moves and how to block and parry properly. I’m just basically standing there with a curved stick trying to swing it like a bat haha
Ps I’d be too afraid of using a slip joint haha


I don't anymore. Back in high school a bunch of us used big wooden dowel rods to beat the shit out of each other for fun via 'swordfighting' but it wasnt anything like what a proper HEMA club would do today. I broke too many fingers to keep it up for too long, lol. We did cobble some hand protection together, the best of which was a buddy of mine who took a welding glove and sewed a bunch of overlapping washers on it to essentially make scale mail gloves. I don't think we got any broken fingers with those on, but it still hurt a lot. It also did nothing to prevent the bloody welts we'd leave on each others arms or legs, lol.

Also, I'm very particular in what I'll use a slipjoint on. Very light cutting tasks, and letting people who aren't "knife people" borrow a knife is what mine get used for. They seem weirded out when you hand them something with an axis lock, lol.

BK knives come with the worst grips. I use my BK2 and BK9 mostly next to the camp fire or wood stove, and with the original grips and a slightly sweaty hand, good luck holding on to them.

I took a soldering iron and dimpled them for texture.

Just like cast iron, carbon steel knives are the shit but take more maintenance.

i already had the soldering iron lol, less investment, but dirt and wood chips do get stuck in my dimples... but again, I use them for my fire pit and eventually for my tiny wood stove in my currently underway airstream renovation lol

and i hate the new kydex sheath, its like impossible to get the bk2 out. I recently bought a new one after splitting my first one in half (was drunk at campfire, broke my mallet, and instead was using my mini sledge on the back of it to split wood, whoops)
