Most definately learn the main charictaristics of any breed you have an interest in, to see if it would suit the sort of person you are and the sort of family you have.
My next dog choice for me and my family will be Rhodesian Ridgeback. That Jack Russell over to the left there is a one man dog only because my wife refuses to take instruction from me on his handling. The moment I leave the house, he rules the roost. She hates it and just puts him out in the back yard by himself, and usually without anything to play with, to hide the problem, then wonders why she finds her laundry all over the ground and moon-craters appearing here and there
Now back to knives...Maybe we should start a dog lovers thread or something too....Now back to knives...Maybe we should start a dog lovers thread or something too....Mick

Now back to knives...Maybe we should start a dog lovers thread or something too....I agree lets get back to the original subject last thing about pedigree dogs- they were bred for a purpose and unless you know what it is you wont be happy and neither will your dog,and some can be Dangerous animals and one wrong bite can cost you everything,please keep that in mind, and now to something sharp and shiny

Yes back onto the knife topic. Does anyone have suggestions for a small fixed blade knife that would be good for boot/ankle carry. I'm looking at the Ka Bar TDI ankle and the short Ka Bart plain edge I really would like the USMC EK but cant justify spending over $100 right now on a knife.

Look at the Becker bk 11

Small 3ish inch blade but plenty sharp and great for edc.

There are a few pics of them in this thread already.

I like anyone have experience the the stainless steel version. Seems like it would be a good idea if it was being staples in or onto a boot, clipped into the waistband, and hung from neck.

P.S. I ooked back and seen you own one. I'm seriously debating it. I think it would be a good size and open up small of the back carry too. Maybe wrapping the grip in para cord for a little extra grip.

P.S.S. I've decided it's either going to be the BK11 or the BK14 EsKaBar. Probably the BK 14 if the belt clip fits.

As an aside tomahawks are bloody awesome to add to your sharp things that you can ooh and ahh over.


In the absence of light don't pray for a miracle use night vision.

As a teacher I can see absolutely no need to carry a tomahawk. But I almost wish I did have a need. They look awesome.

I have a couple of tomahawks, photo's soon.

Not affiliated but have a look at this guys products http://www.winklerknives.com/knifetypes.asp for me they really get the cowboy mojo bubbling.
Just want to buy everything and start zombie slaying. Or become grizzy Adams.

As promised, here's a pic of my two Tomahawks. Both are hand forged by Blacksmiths, the one on the left is a hammer hawk and the one on the right with the spike is a hawk made from a hammer. It's my favourite. Not designed for wood chopping though .
