a)

knife is used in day-light gun-fight to blind the enemy with sun reflections from the edge

b)

polygamy
bigamy
monotony

It´s quite nice Buster, although i´m more into real fighting knives, not fantasy knives... i mean, that sure looks like a deadly piece of steel, but who the heck would carry that, for example, in the battlefield? :lol:

In Escrima and Pekiti Tirsia (two Filipino martial arts, i practise), we sometimes train with bigger blades too, like machetes, but i find them a bit impractical... Why would someone want to practise martial arts, with lot´s of weapon techniques? Well, have you seen Steven Seagal´s under siege? :lol:

I´ll stick with my little Karambit...

Still.... every time i look at your friend´s knife, i´m starting to like it more and more ;)

Thx MikeVictor! Combat engineering tools sure have changed, since the time you were in the army, eh? ;)

8) There is nothing like the good old Trench-Tool for close-combat...
