If you could name a knife after this awsome song what would it be and why????
My vote is for the ka-bar heavy bowie with custom copper coloured snake skin handle.
 
That is a tough question. The song mentions Vietnam, Whiskey burning
and revounoooers. LOL
 
I can imagine the character in the song carrying a Northwoods Boundary Waters: it has a six inch drop point blade, brass guard and pommel, Cocobolo handle, and it's a utility knife that would make an alright survival/combat knife. It looks traditional, useful, purposeful, and menacing all at the same time—which sort of suits the song.
 
Got to see Mr. Earle live a while back, right before he went to jail....hehe.
Great songwriter.

Another tune that might inspire a movie is "The Devil's Right Hand".

My very first pistol was a cap-and-ball Colt
Shoot like lightning but she load a mite slow.
Load a mite slow and I soon found out,
It'd get you into trouble but it wouldn't get you out.
 
Moving to Blade Discussion Forum.
 
Let's remember Mr. Earle wrote

"I ran down Division Street
Some of them boys followed me
Down to the railroad track
Four of them and I cain't fight
But I had my old Randall knife
I cut that boy and I never did look back"

(Taneytown, from El Corazon.)
 
it dissapointed me Mr. Earl was not the vietnam vet he portrayed himself to be, in fact he was too young at the time to be drafted.

He is currently recovering from a herion addiction, and his poorly timed publicity stunt for the Jonny (amercan) Taliban song that came out as a protest to our war in Afghanistan.

I would give him One OPINEL.
 
Portraid himself to be a Vietnam vet?

I thought he just sang a couple of songs about what people experienced.

He doesn't get played or discussed much in Australia.
