DarkOps Knives and Trident/Crusader Forge Knives...

I dunno. Call it a hunch.

It's an incorrect one.

in reply to my comment about the sawbacks being stuck in flesh--i do'nt b.s. i finished my marine corps tour in 1963 & followed that war fairly close since i was in calif. at time & saw the protests. the knife info filtered down from comments of vets in the 70s that had been there. most of you are too young & removed from the wars to have much info. being born in 39 i received tons of info from the korean fiasco thru the vietnam fiasco. my biggest regret was the 63000 men whom died in vietnam because of the polititians that ran the war . the boys should have stayed home & if we were going to do that war we should have mined haiphong harbor along from day one.--dennis

I always like your posts, Dennis, perhaps because we think along the same lines. Despite being in the Canadian Army, I was fortunate enough to take some training with the Rangers out of Ft.Lewis in the early 70's (long story). Anyway, I never saw a serrated blade anywhere but the kitchens and having serrations on the top of a blade is just plain ridiculous, IMO.

I could see the serrations on the spine of the blade getting caught up on, say, a rib bone, but just pulling out of flesh? I'm sorry but the BS flag is planted and waving proudly in that swampy mire of a lie.

You apparently know nothing about physics. Each point that a sawtooth grabs onto is going to add up to a large surface area of all the teeth holding against a considerable sized surface. Bone, ligaments, tendons and deep muscle tissue are all very tough substrates. Furthermore, pulling a knife out of a medium is a lot more difficult than thrusting a knife into one; considering you are not pulling with any of the force or radial motion required of a thrust.

And in the heat of battle, you are not going to stand around and waste time twisting and violently pulling a knife out of a dead enemy's body so as to eventually free it.

I'll tell you what. Take two phone books, and overlap their pages, alternating a page from one book and one from the other. After about a hundred pages try pulling them apart.

It's not nice to call someone a liar, especially when it is YOU who is obviously full of crap.
