Big Brother!

[gdeno]

I know this is a Becker forum, but since they are produced by Kabar I just have to ask. There were a lot of things that were shown by other sites on what they were producing for 2011 but I just watched Adam at E2E's video and this is the first time I've seen the "Big Brother." Is anybody else as impressed as I am? I would like to hear peoples thoughts. It looks really interesting to me, kind of like an actual, functional, Rambo knife. (For a better view you can go to Tomar's Kabars under the "New for 2011" heading.)

I like the look of it, not really something I would use in the field but maybe for a camp knife. The thing I dont like is the stick tang, with such a big chopping blade it just looks fragile. I would rather a bk2

i watched the Ethan video, that was it.

missed any reference to other E2Es, and well, i've been working long days in front of computers. when i get home, i unwind, and read books and shit. too many dirt-time related books to read

and porn. lots of porn about you know. cars. trucks. my car is dying, so that's been a priority, not new knives.

also, it's cuz you're a media texting hoar frosty guy yar.

It's like a generously, ummm, endowed woman; front heavy load would probably be hell on the lower back, but one can't help but admire the beauty of it

I just looked at the big brother page on Tomar's and came across this:

"We are unable to ship this knife model to certain states including CA and MA."

I'm in CA, so that's a bummer.

Yeah, I think it has to do with that sawback/serration thing. Not sure though.

I'm looking through the penal codes now, I can't find anything that would make it illegal. I thought that dirk/ daggers in legal jargon would mean more than one side sharpened, but apparently it's just this:

"16470. As used in this part, "dirk" or "dagger" means a knife or
other instrument with or without a handguard that is capable of ready
use as a stabbing weapon that may inflict great bodily injury or
death."

That's just the definition of dirk/ dagger. It is legal to OPENLY carry.

"21310. Except as provided in Chapter 1 (commencing with Section
17700) of Division 2 of Title 2, any person in this state who carries
concealed upon the person any dirk or dagger is punishable by
imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or in the state
prison.

21390. The unlawful concealed carrying upon the person of any dirk
or dagger, as provided in Section 21310, is a nuisance and is subject
to Sections 18000 and 18005.

20200. A knife carried in a sheath that is worn openly suspended
from the waist of the wearer is not concealed within the meaning of
Section 16140, 16340, 17350, or 21310."

If I am misinterpreting, correct me.

I think anything with a edged spine counts as a dagger. Since its serrated and not a sawback, that counts as a sharpened secondary edge, thus, qualifying it in Kali, as a dagger.
