Thread: Combat Knives?

The truth:

American Regulator ***Regular Price $169.95*** - BUSSE COMBAT KNIFE CO.

Fallkniven F1
I don't care for the sheath, about to have one made. Love the laminated steel blade with vg10 at the core!

I do own maybe a few to many knives, but as far as the ones that would accompany that Schrade, there is this little finnish puukko i picked up from Heinnie.



Took me an age to remove the secondary bevel, but its close to a true scandi now.

Then there is this little Case Sod Buster which is just a solid little EDC non locking folder and its perfectly legal here in the UK, believe me, a UK legal knife that is solid and at a good price is not the easiest to choose.



I made it appear more expensive by dropping it in a Falkniven belt pouch



EDIT: also i forgot to mention, to keep in line with where we are, both these are shave ready literally, that Case sod buster takes a wonderful edge.

The only Combat knife I ever carried was. United States Marine Corps Kbar nothing better

Knives used for self defense are not magical tools that will save your bacon from a life threatening encounter. If you don't train to use it, or any type of self defense training, it won't make up the difference.
Knowing your capabilities determines your knife shopping. If you have a boxing skill, you can ease into training with a karambit and be successful with the reverse grip by throwing "punches".
Cold Steel knives are far and away the best value in tactical blades, with a great deal of diversity. Anytime you see these exotic steels in a tac knife, you should only consider it for collect-ability, because once you get passed an AUS8 steel and above $200 you're seriously over paying for what you need.
For the OP, I'd recommend a Cold Steel GI Tanto. It's a 7 inch blade, comes in a Kydex sheath, retails for about $25 and is damn near indestructible. Look here: https://youtu.be/6qV0zaN83zM .....this guy tortures bush/tactical knives to see if the manufacturer's claims hold water. NOTE: took him over 8 episodes to actually destroy the thing! Also, they've upgraded the sheath over what is shown and went to scales over wrap.

Welcome aboard Gb12549,,,

Built myself this bowie. Took me years to work up the courage to get started on it. Then around half a year to finish it. But I love it now that it's finished.

Beautiful work,,, worth the wait,, thank you for sharing it.

That is gorgeous, what is the blade made from?

Thank you. The blade is Harley Davidson chain Damascus sides with a 52100 core.

The Damascus turned out incredibly unique, what wood did you use for the handle?
