It's from United Cutlery's Mall Ninja line, I think. I don't mind, except that she paid five dollars for it.
I think I'll be able to use the sheath for something. 
My wife has told me before that all those knives just look alike to her. I guess this proves it. She likes to buy me things I'll like. She's a sweety-pie.
Oh, and earlier that morning, we found a Victorinox Fibrox kitchen knife for fifty cents. Seems to be in good shape. I'm glad I was there for that one, or we might have missed it.

My wife rarely buys me anything anymore....sign of the times?
I think its because I do the bills, there's little surprise in most purchases.
Post by: seeker_two on April 27, 2008, 03:23:30 AM
Are those "knuckle dusters" integral with the handle or the blade? A few minutes with the cutting blade on a Dremmel could take care of that.....

Fistful has made me feel bad because
1) I don't have a wife
2) who buys me silly things
3) which excludes me from this thread.
But I do have friends who gift me with power tools, skulls and stuffed animals every year.

Also, it'd be nice to keep snipers from shooting your knife out of your hand before you can get to them.
It's pretty clear that you guys haven't lived on the streets in a while, or maybe are just plain sissies...?

If you were a wife, you'd probably avoid the cheesy mall ninja stuff. I kinda wish my wife knew better. But then, her naivete is kinda cute.
I also had to teach her to shoot. She's pretty good at that.

WHAT? That's a GREAT knife. I can't tell you how many times I've had to punch and slice at the same time, only to have my knuckles bruised.

My wife buys me DVD's from time to time. She didn't start doing that until recently, which I take as a good sign.

At least she's thinking about you, Fistful.
Hey, no argument there. She buys me some pretty awesome Ironic Thrift Store T-shirts, too. A while back, she spent like a quarter on a ziploc full of old, rusty, broken pocket knives. No gold among the dross, I'm afraid, but it was sweet of her.

Good example, Several years ago Christmas was coming on and we were in very flush times. I had a bug on about a Sharp's 1874 replica in .45-70, (had been going on for months) talked about it frequently and even went out and bought a copy of "Quigley Down Under". A local shop even had one come in that was an acceptable model/variant and I had even managed to drag her in and looked at it with her standing there with me, magazines left open, web pages printed off. comments made...I think "blunt" might have been an apt description.
Well, about a week before the big day a long heavy box shows up under the tree, it was long enough and heavy enough and the Sharp's had vanished from the gun store!! WooHoo I thought!
Christmas day came at last. and I got a very nice astronomical telescope, Its a nice one and I occasionally dust it off and go out and look at the moon. Seems she had fixated on me commenting about a telescope maybe being fun to have about a week before she bought it....
I still don't have a Sharps

And besides, even if I were going to stash it somewhere as an emergency back-up weapon, I'm not sure I want that scary-looking thing as exhibit A in my homicide trial. In fact, that knife is so far from my idea of what a knife should be, that I don't want it around at all.
If you think you can use it though, PM me with your address, and I'll let you give it a good home.
Hey, guys, thanks for the suggestions about cutting off the knuckle dealies. It's a metal handle, though, and I don't really want to go to all that trouble. Hopefully SomeKid will enjoy using it. As a regular knife.

Seriously, I don't see whats wrong with it, unless it can't keep an edge. I had a knife similar to that I used, I liked the finger holes because it made it absurdly easy to grip (I like easy to grip and maintain).

Yup, I tell the entire family do NOT buy me tools.
Ditto! Except for my Dad and I get some his old tools when they get replaced them at work. My Dad is an electrican and I have a nice collection of Klein Tools.
My wife brings me crap home from garage sales, usually crap I don't want or it is crap. She did score on a 3/4 box full of clay pigeons for .50 but this is like one in 20 chance she comes how with something I can use or want.
I still think garage sale is a psychological disorder.

Are you saying my wife is mental? I didn't know you two were acquainted.
She likes to spend a few hours on garage saling every Saturday. But still, she has nothing on the women who get together in a minivan and hit the street at 5.30 am.

Dude, I said you could have it for the asking. I'll even ship it to you. I like knives like this.
If a knife isn't more or less like this,
I probably won't have much interest in it.
BTW, I think Mr. King patterns that knife after one that I ordered from him a few years ago. But mine is prettier.

Actually the specimen in front of me has something more like a deer on it. Same knife, though. They're little shivs, about 3 inches of blade and of Pakistani manufacture. Mine's not quite as shiny.

Sharpen it up and drop it into a BOB or something.
Dude, if I want a scary black knife for my bug-out bag, it'll be the SRK.
The blade is too long and thick for fistful's Rigorous Standards of Knife Excellence, but I just couldn't live without one. I think it's because it was the first well-made "tactical knife" I ever held in my hand. Or maybe it's just that that Kraton handle is so perfect. I've also got the stainless Master Hunter, though. Even better. I've got a couple of good, cheap knives, too. In that vein, I can't find my old CRKT fixed-blade drop point, though. I hope I didn't sell it.
I don't think they make that kind no more.

Fistful, things could be worse. A few years ago, my 90 year-old parents bought me a Harley Davidson clock for Christmas. It was about 12" wide, had photos of different Harley's at every hour mark, had a huge honkin' Harley Davidson logo on the face, was illuminated and, worst of all, it made a roaring sound at the top of every hour.
It went into my wife's rummage sale the following spring.

Got you beat by a long mile. A poor, dear woman at church gave us a little clock, mounted on a silver-framed picture of the crucifixion. You know how some crucifixes are gorier and more dramatic than others? This one was. Then you plug it in, and the blinking lights come on, circling the Passion of Our Lord. That thing was so tacky, I wanted to keep it forever, just to treasure its abominable camp. But the wife sold it or threw it out, or something, without my knowledge. I'll get her, one day.

Talk about silly gifts though. Anyone remember the "bird" clock? Kind of like the Harley one but bird calls on the top of the hour. I was watching the tube with an old GF, not the sharpest knife in the drawer but cute so it didn't matter. Anyhoo on comes the ad for the bird clock and I quite sarcastically say, "Ooo yea! That's what I want for Christmas." So along come Christmas... You know the rest. I had to live with them friggin birds chirping every hour until I discovered there were two sets of batteries, one for the clock and one for the birds. Them bird batteries always seemed to be dead once I figured that out. Still have the clock, my wife relegated it to the basement. Now all the batteries are dead.

Not going to do that, I like the rifle the way it is, especially since I installed a extended magazine release.
I've already had to sell all my shares I had in adult industries so I'm not going to budge on the rifle.
