I owe this thread to Doug C.
He suggested the premise in another thread that I had showed this knife in.
Good idea Doug
We see these types of threads in the other forums but I guess folks just think the custom crowd is just a bit to stuffy. Lets show them we are not
Nobody loves knives IMHO like the customs crowd. We covet them....hoard them ....... even stock pile them.......and to a lot of us they have become a huge part of our lives.
So why not have a little Halloween fun
I know that some of the finest cutlery to ever exist lies with some of you folks. Behind glass and steel, locked up from the world.........only to be admired by a few.
Everyone's got there own idea of what the end of the world will be. So there will be no set premise. It could be that the country has fallen under some type of attack.....chemical , nuclear etc.
It could be the water supplies are contaminated and hoards of people are flocking out of the cities pillaging , raping , looting etc.
Kinda Mad Maxish
Or in honor of Halloween and the new season of The Walking Dead it could be a Zombie Apocalypse. ( I can just picture Bob Betzner skewering a Zombie thru the head with a Warenski Main Gauche or Kevin Jones Swinging a big Ivory handled Fisk Bowie. The possibilities are endless and in most of these threads started on the Internet the greatest custom steel is left out. So come on boys in the spirt of Halloween and the kid in all of us join in and have fun
So for my premise ( remember each of you can have your own and I encourage it ) no matter if its hoards of scavengers or Zombies i have a problem. I live in the most densely populated part of the country and although I'm kinda rural I am surrounded by major cities. So the holding up and defending no matter how well I'm fortified is not going to work. I have a large family and I believe the best course of action for me would be to pack everyone up dogs and all ( I'm gonna need them ) and head north. Roger ill pick ya up on the way sourcing clean food and water as I go.
I'd pack light and stay mobile...... can't let anything slow ya down. I'd load my big H 1 up with food, water and extra fuel ( remember there's a lot of home heating oil tanks out there I can siphon and keep my diesel running. )
I can feed myself with a slingshot but for large game and defense ya want firearms and steel.
For me
Assault rifle M 4 or Socom
12 gauge Benelli M1
Pistol 45 acp
Suppressed 308 Bolt Action rifle
22 rifle
As much ammo as I have stockpiled (pretty much)
Of course I'd bring my trusty recurve bow for silent hunting
I've always said if you can feed yourself with a bow or slingshot you will do fine with a gun
There's a Hudson Bay axe in my Hummer for when your off road and your chain saws out of gas.
But for that one main knife ......... Hmmmm........... If there is Zombies or crowds of people you have to move thru a sword is always a neat thing to have, and in this case with out a doubt I would pick one of my Hartsfield Katana's
But for that one knife to carry on my person I would want it to be easily portable .... Fast in the hand but able to deliver one shot killing strokes. Something that would lend itself to cleaving a zombie head in half but equally adept at survival in a wilderness setting.
For that knife and believe me I love my Bowies it would have to be the knife that started the idea for this whole thread.
My Knight Combat Khukuri with P Long Apocolypse sheath
Truly an end of days blade
So lets see um and hear your horror stories. Happy Halloween
