"This picture was taken by troops in Iraq. These are camel spiders, and you do not want to run into them. These things can cruise as fast as a man running, no problem."

Which knife would you use against one of these? I'm thinking FB, saw back, blade stopping cross hilt, blood grooves, blade length thumb ramp, covert multiposition lanyard holes, currently in use by ultra fast moving operators?

After they wiped out a whole platoon in the first Gulf War, the Pentagon suggests; Dark Ops knives with Venom Grooves.
 
LOL @ Nordic.

They are also called Wind Scorpions, they are harmless, but their bite hurts like a mother.
 
KNIFE????...Are you crazy?...I'd shoot the monster with a M-60!
 
id take a baseball bat a gun would kick up 2 much dust 2 c if u hit it or not

for a knife a spyderco civilian
 
I owned one as a pet for a while... not dangerous at all but it tore the hell out of meal worms that I fed it (distanced from my fingers by a pair of chopsticks). Voracious little thing, but if I really needed to defend myself against an attack I'd use size 11 Doc Martens.
 
They're not that big, after that pic circled the internet, I read an article about them. They're fast, but aren't really worried about humans.

They're available in the USA too!

As to the question? "Take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

HA! I love that movie! Now I want a picture of Hicks rocking that shotgun, blasting away, for my avatar!


"Lets go Marines, we are leaving!!!"
 
The pic is an optical illusion. It looks longer than it is because the guy behind it is far away so it looks like it covers more length when viewed against his leg than it actually does.

Yep, optical illusion.
Also, there are 2 of 'em pictured, one hanging from another.
You really ought to see them eat, though, 4 sharp fangs working its food, kind of a Predator-type action. And it is one ugly mother.
 
Knife? Lets say Katana instead. Or possibly a pistol grip shotgun for that matter! Those are some big ****ers.
 
There's a quote I find appropriate for this situation:

"There are few of life's problems which cannot be solved by the use of high explosives."
