Knife Nuts

What's your favourite knife, and why?

the breadknive, cos it helps me make breakfast.
knives are my friends.

The one IN YOUR FACE!!! *stabby stabby*

I kind of meant brands, but types will do too. I hate breadknives because a:they're serated and thus tricky to sharpen and b:it's hard to get left-handed versions. Obviously I'm not a complete spaz and can use the right handed ones (I can't tell the difference if I'm honest) but the fact that a left handed bread knife exists means that a normal bread knife will always be sub optimal to me.

Boning Knife



Obligatory 12 year old laugh. hahahahahahahahahahahah

Seriously it is my favorite. Second is a cleaver.

Is kevlar any good against stabby knives?


I'm so English, I have no idea about suitable body armour.

I like the knife that I brought to Burning Man, because I'm a bad motherfucker.

Spyderco folders but of course

do you mean cooking, or going out hiking/general utility knives?

no. It's cut/slice resistant, not puncture resistant.

Yeah. . .I hear burning man is getting really rough these past few years.

Any knives are fine for this thread.

the katana:

ok, it's a sword. but still.

i like icepicks with duct-tape wrapped around the handle. everyone carries a knife, only psychos carry icepicks.

i recall reading a bbc story last year about how the uk police's standard body armor doesn't stop knives at all, and some officer's mom bought her an anti-stab plate which saved her life. i believe there are certain groups pushing for the government to obtain such modifications for all officers.

mine:

A sweet little (ancient) super sturdy pocket knife my grandfather let me have when I helped him move from his house to the nursing home. It's got a scrimshaw inset of a tall ship. (It's older than the ban on real scrimshaw, he got it when he was in the Navy in his 20's). I always carry a pocket knife, and that one is my favorite.

I sooooo watched Cobra this morning while I ate my cereal. Stallone had his ass hanging from a giant hook by the time I finished eating.

weird, I was watching demolition man this morning, sans the ceral though

im not into knives like i am guns, but allot of knife guys say the best ever made is the k-bar.
