MY brand new Handmade version of the Night Slasher knife on the movie COBRA. I call it THE BLACK COBRA SLASHER KNIFE! Made with D2 steel via full tang blade, hand guard, and Spikes. Spikes screw in and out! Handle is Beautiful Micarta Handle. Blade is 9.5" And handle is 5.75". Blade is 8MM thick at the spine.
Pretty Freaking Awesome, Huh?

Nope, its a useless abomination and ugly as sin IMO but as stated above in this 'necro'ed' thread (you do that a lot BTW - feel free to start a new thread), what ever rocks your boat.
As mentioned above by another forum member, the ONLY redeeming feature about that movie was the chopped and channelled Mercury.

LOL I'm not bothered by your comments Blade. It's not your "thang!" I get it! Especially since you happen to be the Only person that has reviewed it negatively.
Other folks like it and complimented this knife... Even other knife makers. So this One comment does not bother me. You are entitled to your own opinion.
But seems to me you are judging the movie here, not anything else! But if you did not like the movie, I wonder why you are even Posting here on a thread about it??!! That remains a mystery I guess.

No reason, why you should be bothered. Its your money and you can spend on any which knife you want. My opinion should not necessarily mean an iota to you.
But you asked, if it wasnt a pretty freaking awesome knife and I asnwered.
Im not the only one so far to have 'reviewed it negatively' - so far in this thread, Im the only one to have commented on your knife period
Fine. There is no accounting for other peoples taste in knives. The knife in question being a stellar example of that.
It shouldnt.
Yes, I am. To me this is in the realm of 'art knives' and I personally have not much use for these. I prefer utility knives with a smattering of other knives, swords etc in the mix.
This is where you start making things up.
I specifically described your knife as follows; "Nope, its a useless abomination and ugly as sin IMO but as stated above in this 'necro'ed' thread (you do that a lot BTW - feel free to start a new thread), what ever rocks your boat."
If that aint a comment on your knife, I dont know what is.
I added that the movie 'stunk' to high heaven.
No mystery at all...unless one is 'special,' I guess.
I stated my opinion, since you asked.

I kinda like it.
It's quite silly, useless and uncomfortable I imagine, but practical use isn't really the point. It's a novelty mostly for decoration and it looks to be of much higher quality than the flea market version.

How about this bro...If you can't say anything Nice about someone then don't say anything at all.. What do you think about That??!!
I did not have the knife made for anyone to like or dislike. I got it made because I like it and wanted it. You are taking my "Pretty Cool Huh?" statement out of context! Like I really give a shit about what you or anyone else thinks about it...Good or Bad!
You act like you are the end all...be all...of existence...Quit lying to yourself. Your comments and thoughts are really totally unimportant. Maybe you feel important on this forum because trolling, drama, and flapping your gums is all you know and do everyday.
And maybe some people on here View you in that form because they do not know any better! All I can say at this point is that I wish you the best in all that you do!!
Feel free to reply but I will no longer respond to you or anyone else. I will not be your drama feeder!! Time to move on! Have A Nice Day!

First of all, im not your 'bro.'
Further more, this is a knife forum. You can buy which ever knife you want - its your money and thats as it should be. But if we all just cooed over any and all knives - including any horrid examples which may or may not pop up - this would be a pretty dull place.
You realize this but are miffed, that not all share your exuberance over your knife.
So no, 'that' aint gonna happen.
i did not have the knife made for anyone to like or dislike.
...but you still specifically asked our opinion
i got it made because i like it and wanted it.
as it should be:thumbup:
you are taking my "pretty cool huh?" statement out of context!
ahh, nope.
You post a knife - ask if the knife isnt 'pretty freaking awesome' - I answered. Thats about as 'contexti' as one can get
like i really give a shit about what you or anyone else thinks about it...good or bad!
Oookaaay, Ill let that one speak for itself.
you act like you are the end all...be all...of existence...
not the last time i checked
quit lying to yourself.
i usually dont
your comments and thoughts are really totally unimportant.
Im sure they are to you, but why then ask and why then get your panties so severely in a bunch.
maybe you feel important on this forum because trolling, drama, and flapping your gums is all you know and do everyday.

Hmmm, flapping our gums about knives is sorta kinda what we do here - today I for example posted about two beautiful PUUKKO knives, which are not only beautiful in their stark elegance but also useful (as opposed to some other knives) - so, you know the stuff we post about here on BF.
As far trolling goes - the only interaction, that I know of between the two of us and to which I assume you refer(?), (ohh right, you have decided not to answer - clever), was when you tried to slander and troll well respected knifemaker Sam Wilson in the HH thread and was asked repeatedly by not only by a MOD, several other well respected members and myself to cease and desist.
The only post I ever directed at you was the below post and this was at the tail end of your wild rambling accusations and after a mod and others told you to quit - members can make up their own mind, if my post to you is out of line in any way what so ever - I bet the anser is no.
My post to you in the HH thread:
A polite request; pls refrain from dropping snide remarks in regards to any and all beefs with a maker in this tread. This is a hollow handle knife thread.
We happen to like our little hh thread here. It was initially started because someone (not you) took a giant dump on a similar thread else where.
Others have already taken dumps on this one (it seems to attract a lot of nice hh interested people...and then some other folks) and it has (so far) weathered the storm. We like it to stay open. Loads of good hh info and knowledge here.
Pls take your remarks etc to gbu. Im no mod but a mod has already told you the same. Im merely asking - a mod who has already rather restrained requested you take your beef else where might not ask you as restrained again.
As mentioned, a polite request. Thanks for your understanding.
...and thats all i have to say on the matter (southern drawl).
As you turned this from knives to personal, Ill say enjoy your art knife and as above "Thats all I have to say on the matter."

A knifemaker friend and my 2nd cousin of mine from Tuscaloosa, Alabama...my home state. His name is Adam. He's a machinist and makes knives as a hobby. He just wanted to see if he could make this knife. He did and he said it was a little difficult to make. He tried it out to make sure the hrc was fine. Then he took it to a factory there and had it Powder Coated and sent it to me
I just had to pay Material Cost was all. He's been making knives now for about 8 years. He made me several knives that I designed.
Being a pretty big man, I love big knives! I cannot Stand those little sissy ass knives that some ppl deem as utility knives. I have a few of those...Extrema Ratio Doberman IV, Kizlyar Survival Extreme X knife, and a few other high end production knives. I also have a Ray Ennis/ Entrek MK 4 knife and that knife's blade is really Something now.
Very well made knives but they just feel way too light to me. I love knives with some heftiness to them. I have a Martin Knives handmade MCE II survival knife made with S35 VN steel, a Bill Schiller Handmade First Blood movie knife which is the Only FB knife ever made by that great knifemaker from Canada.
And my prize knife. .A handmade First Blood movie knife made by Ray Matton. It's the very Last knife that Ray made and will prob ever make again, which is very sad. Because Ray Matton is the absolute Best at Customer Service, attention to detail, and dedication. Same with Newt Martin!
And I have a knife made by Andrew Clifford...the Best knife I've ever seen...that was made back in 2002 for a US Military Special Forces guy stationed in Iraq. He requested this knife made with particular specs.
He used the knife in both Mid East Wars. The knife has seen actual hardcore combat and, when I received the knife, the blade was tainted with drops of blood stains.
This story was verified by several people Including Andy himself. Not sure what became of the military soldier who owned it. I had heard that sadly, he got killed over there. But this has Not been verified.
I also heard reports that the guy was still alive and placed in the VA because he is so crazy violent and has hurt a few people from just snapping violently due to severe ptsd. It could be true but I personally just don't believe that story. I'm more inclined to believe the first one...That he died there in Afghanistan...Defending this great country. Whatever is true, and being a former US Military Personnel myself, The guy, just like all of the others, Past And Present...
Those guys are the true Warriors of this world. They're the true heroes!! Everyone that has ever fought and died for this country or any other Rightful country who's fighting against ISIS and other terrorist tyranny groups.
And also the Wonderful men and women in Blue...The police, detectives, etc...Who go out every shift, doing a very dangerous job trying to keep our streets clean and crime free...Those that say Goodbye to their wives, kids, and other family and friends every single duty night...
And not even knowing for sure whether or not they will make it back home at night, because of some lowlife murdering cowardly Dumbass idiot deciding to be a loser jerkoff, and just walking up and killing them for no reason whatsoever!!
Sorry, I got off topic. But this is who I am and what I am about, let alone working hard, enduring life's pleasures and letdowns...and tragedies...And being a Dad, a Grandfather, and a loving husband.
And I like big knives. I carry a big knife Everywhere I go! I carry throwing knives. And lately I have Designed some knives that I feel are Awesome and very well made.
They fit my size, are easy to use, razor sharp, and made with very very top grade steels. And I know that big knives aren't everyone's desire or fortay (Damn, there's that word again, LOL)...But they are My Desire...My fortay...And in my world if I like something then that is All that matters to.me.
If others like my knives and compliment me on them, it's very appreciated and makes me happy and proud. But still, even with That , it still does not matter!! All That Does Matter To Me...Is That I Like Them! I Like the Way My Knives Are Made! That is ALL THAT MATTERS TO ME!!
And I am sorry that some of my knives...if the disgust others and bring such downright misery to them, that they just Have to voluntarily Express that! But it still does In No way change the facts...And those facts are that I Love the knives! They're what I wanted...So I had them made...made For Me!
And Lastly, a friendly word of.suggestion...If you like something and buy it, or let's say you have it made and are so very proud of it...Please don't let some jerkoff come along and cut it down and degrade you for what you like and are proud of!! Don't let them ever make you feel ashamed of your choices and likes. Because believe me, there is Always going to be Someone that doesn't like it, expresses that, and then has drone drama passionless followers that agree with him and continue the degrading shade, just to keep their drama cravings fed!
You stand proud...Stand high...And be damn proud that you are different, unique, and not into the wwhole click thing! Be glad that you have your own.mind and you don't need to follow others just to be accepted!
Well I've said a Lot!! Guess I just fed my craving to type words! LOL! Have A Great Day...And God Bless You...EVERYONE!!

Ummm...Sam Wilson might be respected by you.guys...But he's Not respected by me...At least not as someone that I will ever buy from again.
That's not to say that he's not a good knifemaker because he is...credit where it is due! Someone asked me back then about him and I posted my negative experience with him. And they asked me on the hh knives site...So I answered on that site.
But that is old news!! Sam and I reached a mutual understanding through emails and patched our differences up. Why you are choosing to bring that up again is Beyond me. But I like I was told, if you got a beef with me jerk...I.mean, since you don't like me to say Bro, then let's take it to the thread it's meant to be taken at.
See...I can be civil too...So if you are wanting to argue about that ancient news, then let's do it somewhere else.
But my business with Sam is realky none of your busines!! It doesn't concern you and never has.
Here are the facts...You don't like me...that is surely seen and felt...I get that...And I don't like you either. So let's just agree to ignore each other, not talk to each other or comment on one another, and be done with it. What do you say?

Thanks man. I will show pics of that knife you are talking about. One thing...When I received that knife, I thought it would look good and would preserve it by Dura Coating the blade. So I Dura Coated it Black. But after I did that, I realized that I should of just left it alone. Big mistake on my part. I mean, it really looks good and all, but the stains on it got covered. I've really kicked my ass about that! LOL.
But yeah, I will show pics of it on here when I get home.
