And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Ridiculous POS. Unbalanced, hand grip isn't going to fit anyones hand. Huge notch at the guard a breaking point. That would be laughed off of Forged in Fire.
I don't know why a knife designer would put huge "finger groove" choils and thumb "jimping" on the blade side of a guard that prevents the use of either one of those "features". All those two features do is create possible points of failure and add extra work to making the final form of the knife before adding the guard and handle scales.
Looking closely at the jimmping...some have rounded bottoms and some are squared off providing excellent fracture ( metal fatigue) locations. Poor workmanship, piss poor design.
It appears as if a Kabar Big Brother 2217 was used as the base then modded to the current state. Almost Roman Gladius in size. I think Rambo may be sporting a 'chubbie' ...
I'm not sure why the ricasso had so much material removed at a key area as John the River above noted (maybe heavy glove capable ?).

DeleteTake of the sawtooth and you’ve got a knife.
ReplyDeleteThats not a knife. It's a sword. I want one.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, I want one as well!
DeleteI'd think it could easily identify as a machete if it wanted to.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't want to use the Phillips screwdriver on the cross guard.

It's a fusion of a marine knife and an m9 bayonet.

Designed for form rather than function. Wast of time, material, and effort. Bah.
