Thread: Combat Knives?

Shayne,

As field knives, I have used the K-Bar Next Generation and the Boker Applegate Fairburn (Boker offers pocketknives and hunting knives.).

They did the job very well, but not as good as my Fallkniven F1

If you want a 'fighting' type knife, then the Boker Applegate is very nice.

Have fun !

Best regards

Russ

Some years I own a Recon Tanto by Cold Steel. I think it is one of the best I ever bought!

the Fallkniven F1 is one sweet knife , sheath is kinda meah though, but one doesn't cut with the sheath i know.

wow just found this and it looks like it would do about anything
INFI steel , now just have to find a vender for this toy.

anyways just looking .

If I thought it would not get me arrested, I'd carry this.



I've been drooling over this knife for a long time. I may just end up buying it to keep it on my nightstand as a 'just in case' knife.
Like they say in the description: this knife is not a general purpose knife. It was designed for 1 purpose only.
And I am willing to bet that someone seeing this knife would lose motivation very rapidly.

that made me laugh !!!

that is one scary looking tool. reminds me of the scene in Jurassic park when some kid is scared by the doc explaining velocipraptors hunting habits .

I own three knives that could fit into that category:
A (relatively) small Khukuri (meaning the blade is still 8-9 inches)
A Cold Steel Recon Scout
And a Kizlyar Scorpion

Out of the three for the best multipurpose destructo proof knife I'd go with the Recon Scout.

Go to Randall Made Knives in Orlando, FL and check out the model 1 'all purpose fighting knife', or the model 15, IIRC, 'Airman' designed by the US Marine Corps. The former is functional art and the latter is probably indestructible. I've owned both more than once and sold or traded them. I like fighting knives the way that I like razors and pocket knives. Aesthetically is what I mean. As far as function is concerned I figured out I have no use for them. I cannot imagine that I would ever use a knife on another human being when I can shoot them with one of various handguns I always have within arms reach if I'm not carrying one of them.

Brilliant Jimmy! We think very much alike. I am never out in town without a pistol. I would rather shoot too. I'd rather not let someone get close enough to me to stick metal in them. I would prefer the more remote delivery method of a firearm.

I really want Cold Steel's Black Bear Classic or a Natchez Bowie.

I own a USMC (The only one I have). An original that has been through WWII and been used hard. It was given to me many years ago by a friend in the military. I don't know where he got it from, but I'm glad he gave it to me. I like the Ka-bar knives. The beauty is in their simple functionality. Saying all that, I'm still not a fan of through tang knives. I like full tang knives for serious work.
