If you had to perform an emergency circumcision...

If you had some railroad tracks handy, you wouldn't even need a knife. Just tie one end of some string to "it" and the other end to the opposite track, stretch the victim, er, patient out next to the other track and wait for that whistle. Sorta like pulling a tooth (or leg).

You'll find a case of "emergency circumcission" in the Book of Exodus. Moses is on his way back to Egypt with his Midianite wife and his baby son. He had neglected to perfrom the commandment of brit milah when the kid was eight days old, and God or an angel or something gave him a very bad siezure as a reminder. He recovered only when his Midianite wife used a flint to do the honors on the kid.
For the mass circumcision on the eve of the invasion of Canaan, Joshua commissioned a bunch of flint knives, and Abraham would probably have done it to himself and Ishmael, and later Isaac, with a flint, since stone tools were at that time sharper than contemporary metal if you could get metal.

Walt and James, you guys have WAAAAAAAY too much knowledge!!!
As for the foreskinner in question, of course I would choose the Leatherman Micra.
The tweezers would come in handy at the beginning, the knife blade could do the nasty, and the scissors can be used to fine tune the edges.
I know, I know.... good thing I have 5 daughters, right?

Vampire Gerbil: similar to a domestic gerbil, except for the odd accent and little black cape.

Part of the reason for the priapism in dogs is of course they have enhancements to their organ. First of all they have a bone in it (os penis) and secondly two large blood filled bulbs at the base. All of which protrudes through the foreskin. Great Dane indeed!
More than anyone wanted to know.

What? Another knife? Don't you have enough of those things already?
How many does one person need?
And just what are you going to do with this one that you can't do with the others?
What is the purpose of all these knives anyhow??

This little model has replaced the capers I used to make. I call it the Small Game. They are more of a usefull utility knife as the blade is a little longer than the capers. This is the closest thing to a scalpal that I know of!!!Plus it lookes nicer with the filework.......

Huh...This actually turned into a real thread! Gross stuff, but there's been some surprisingly genuine information here too. I should be able to get through it all without fainting, provided that Vampire Gerbil doesn't post his demon picture again. I would not like to be circumsized by that dude!
I'd use the special knife I borrowed from the Moyl who was standing there. He would also catch me after I fainted.
My brother in law asked me to hold the camera at his son's briss (the party thrown in Jewish households to celebrate this procedure).
Big mistake. I turned white and sat down shaking.
Ironically, I used to shoot surgeries for a living occasionally when I was a shooter... never a problem, except for the documentary I shot on the sex-change operation...

My John Primble castrating knife with my name engraved on the obverse side. Obviously.
A little bit off the top ( to the tune of "when johnny comes marching home."
.........................................
When I was eight days old my boys, hurrah, hurrah
When I was eight days old my boys, hurrah, hurrah
The rabbi came with a big sharp knife
And I surely feared he would take my life
But all he took was a little bit off the top.
..........................................
There's more, but I really think since Dan K. ( I think ? Maybe it was Dave K. ? )is the one who first made it available to the forum, he should provide the rest of the lyrics.

No problem for me.
I am done and I have two daughters.
Now I will do an emergency "castration" if anyone so much as touches one of my girls.
I will find the rustiest, dirtiest, dullest tool available and work very slowly.

Scarman, Do what I do when the young men come to the door to pick up my daughter. Strap on your biggest fixed blade, cradle in your arms your nastiest shotgun or rifle, have on cameo and a pair of shades, and stand a shovel in the corner of the room.
Gee why do those young fella's perspire so much?

Lucky Dog,
Way too funny. I do like the suggestions though. I was thinking of adding a bloody knife quickly kicked out of site as the young hormone factory comes into the house, of course it would be done halfa$$ and deliberate enough to be seen.

Did you ever hear about the student whose history essay included the story of how Sir Francis Drake "circumcised the world with a hundred foot clipper?"
