A fixed blade you probably don't have

That said, Walther makes some great firearms. I'm quite fond of their PPQ and PPS pistols.

Exception might be Glock . But they made the knife (and curtain rods ?) before the pistols . :rolleyes:

I had an Applegate/Fairbairn dagger once that was shaped that-a-way.

Since I live in Washington State, a dagger is one of the several knives that our legislature fears more than a guy without a mask.

So I got rid of it. Not sorry I did, but it was a fine piece.

If the State did away with their dagger panic, I wouldn't get one of these. I'd get a Spartan Harsey.

Wait they won't let you have daggers in Washington State?

Oh, the law says I can own one. But you have to read tea leaves and consult ancient scriptures and sages to see if you can carry one.

The law states that thou shalt not "Furtively carry with intent to conceal any dagger, dirk, pistol or other dangerous weapon".

A person was actually carrying a paring knife in our state once and was busted for "furtively carrying a dangerous weapon."

The person appealed to the court of appeals, and the conviction was overturned. You'd think common sense had prevailed.

But no. The State then appealed THAT decision to the Supreme Court, who decided that "furtive" meant "secret".

And thus, "secret" meant that the person concealed a dangerous weapon. And so this person was busted after all.

So no, I'm not going to carry a dagger in this state... concealed or open... because hey, it's a "DAGGER", actually named evil by law.

And you should be able to carry one around the house, but the court has decided that "in the house" is okay, but in the yard is not "in the house".

You can't make this stuff up.

But I can carry a concealed pistol here, and they have deemed that I can now put suppressors on my weapons... so all is not lost... yet.

I inherited a Boker Applegate-Fairbairin from my son. Virginia doesn't allow concealed carry of dirks, daggers, Bowies, machetes and a few others. So for concealed carry, I had to settle for a Bowie spoon.

That A/F is a beauty, USMCPOP USMCPOP if I do say so myself.

This being the modern day, the Ka-Bar Spoon has supplanted its more deadly cousin the Ka-Bar USMC...

They also offer a Tactical Spork, but it has a knife "Concealed Furtively" in the handle, which likely would get us arrested. Or shot.

I've always been a bit low key or sneaky, but I'd like to be furtive.
 
Furtive is sneaky with style. It's not that hard, I do it all the time. They see my EDC knife, and completely overlook the concealed .45 IWB behind it.

Sounds like my brother in law, he could break an anvil with a rubber mallet. I accuse him of having the inverse Midas touch.
 
The Walther P99 is a really nice handgun. It's famously reliable. The ergonomics are excellent. Even after twenty years, it still has one of the best triggers on the market. Being full-sized but relatively compact for the category has allowed it to serve a lot of people very well, from law enforcement to civilian concealed carry.

It's a shame that this is the corresponding knife. It does not look like a winner. :oops:

The law here isn't too bad. You just can't conceal a, "dirk or dagger." https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.250
You can carry one openly in most of the state. Some cities have more restrictive laws, like Seattle with it's no fixed blades at all and nothing over 3.5 inches (unless hiking or fishing, or in a tool box), Tacoms (3.5 inches), Everett (3 inches), Yelm (3 inches), and I'm sure others that I haven't looked up. Some of those will also include things like axes and hatchets to be even more silly.

I wish had concealed weapon permit like some states, and that some people say we used to have years ago (I'm thinking it's just misremembering though). The ones that allow for things like big knives to be carried. Not because I feel like carrying a 9 inch bowie, or a machete under a trench coat, but it would be nice to not be in any kind of gray area when my Skrama is in my backpack in the woods.
 
The design itself isn't bad and the handle is comfortable enough. Technically a single edged blade so not a dirk or dagger. The serrations might be useful for large rope I guess.
When it first came out, I remember thinking it was a knock off of the Applegate-Fairbairn dagger.

Question is though; is it worth having? I can see having it as a toy, a curiosity, a conversation piece. But would you trust your life to it?

You can settle disputes with a pie eating contest or other tasty treat!! We may have a lot of fun doing
it and forget the whole reason why it started in the first place, and have a good laugh at the end.
 
I have one :))...Walther, 440A, the knife it's ok for the price, sturdy, the sheath it's functional but kinda crap.
