"Most companies try their hand at tactical knives these days, but for some brands it's more like an afterthought in an attempt to attract or appease the troves of spindly "self-defense" enthusiasts. When you search for "tactical" knives, you need to be careful that you don't end up with something that was only designed to latch onto a demographic with a vaguely military aesthetic and a spear point. There are a lot of knives out there that look tactical because they're over-built with camo scales slapped on, but once you get them in a situation where you need to cut rope in a hurry they turn out to be loose pry bars. Meanwhile there are plenty of knife companies out there that put a lot of thought into their tactical designs, making a tool that is genuinely useful in a variety of emergency situations not exclusive to just "fighting"…" Main page link Amicalement Armand

Definitely not in the same ballgame…but…the 'best' knife in the kitchen is the 'canteen' stainless steel table knife, (Atkinson, Sheffield). Probably rather old, (it was maybe found in a bin of 'pig swill'!). Ma does not remember when it appeared, but over the decades it has been worn and sharpened to 2/3 size with double curvature and a 'cruel' point…it looks WICKED! Slightly bent…(and it WILL NOT straighten, no matter how hard I have tried!), it's still the 'go to' blade for most uses, though, maybe not parachute cord. It s definitely a 'Survival' knife…will outlast Me anyway! LOL. |
