Knife guessing game ( based on description ) now guessing fixed blades

Hmm lets see - this fixed blade is well known for its distinct curvature, comes in a large variety of sizes, is military issue in some south East Asian countries. It has blade portions ideal for chopping and others for cutting tasks.

Hope this follows all the rules of the game!

A parang machete ?

I don't think that Nepal is In southeast Asia or I'd guess the khukri.
 
Ding ding! We have a winner!

I wasn't sure what region Nepal was officially in. I suppose just South Asia.

I was thinking a khurki!

OK now let's see.
This fixed blade is an ultra slim and flexible knife with a brass bolster and imitation stag handles.
 
As someone who knows nothing about fixed blade traditionals, I'd appreciate pictures of these knives that people are guessing. The move to fixed blades has turned me into a spectator. Thanks! :thumbup:

Thanks, Cory! :thumbup:
Your comment about the knife having no straight lines carries a lot more meaning for me now! :cool:

The only reason I changed it to fixed blades is because everyone was running out of folders.
If people still want to do a folder then why not.
I would try to as pictures, but I don't know how to get a picture off Google with my phone ( unless it's a knife I own )
 
Thanks for the insights, Hickory n steel. :cool:
Can't help you with the phone challenge; my phone is "dumber" than I am! :rolleyes:

esh ... thought I had that one rong.

GT THIS one is for you! I want to hear that one you came up with!

Pre-Cadet SAK :)
 
Thanks for a personal challenge; I hope I'm up to it.
I'm gonna guess one of my favorite SAK models: before you can be a Cadet, you gotta be a Recruit!

Thanks for giving me a chance to use my last "riddle", Steve! :thumbup:
This is a little story I wrote that's related to the knife model I have in mind. As you might expect, it's a folder, not a fixed blade. Tell me what the model is, and why you think so. Good luck! :D

I went to Pier One to discuss some previous purchases. The salesman said, “How do you like that fancy knife you bought here, the Pine Ore Slicer?”

I said, “Well, I take it home and I reopen the bag and I peer on to the contents. I’m not completely pleased.”

Hoping to mollify me, the salesman asked, “Did you know one of the great features of that knife is that it has two kinds of openers, can and bottle?”

I replied, “Yeah, but both Opener I and Opener II had significant side-to-side play.”

He asked, “Did that fill you with ire?”

“Nope,” I said, “I figure I peen or otherwise tighten those openers, and I’m good to go.”

“What about that imported beer you picked up last time?”

“It tastes pretty good, but whether I pee in or outside, the doctor says I pee iron since drinking that beer. And my wife complains that now whenever I break wind, it’s a ripe one.”

The sales guy said, “Well, what about the dessert? Will you tell me again what you thought about that?”

“You want me to re-opine? Remember you sent me email about the pie, and I replied with email whose subject line was ‘Re: Pie - NO’.”

Then he kicked me out!

Hmm… I'm going to go with the SAK Pioneer. :D

Let me know if I missed any. I almost missed "ire" and "nope" ("ire" seemed like a deliberate word choice, but it took me a minute to realize I needed to look down to the next paragraph to complete the anagram.)

Excellent, Barrett!! :thumbup::thumbup:
Not only did you NOT miss any, you found one that I hadn't even intended, believe it or not (the Opener II).
Kind of a silly riddle, but I had fun doing it! :rolleyes::D

Sorry guys, forgot it was my turn.

Alright, the knife I'm thinking of this time is probably the most functional multi-blade folder out there, and at the same time, it has to be the least functional knife ever made.

The Victorinox Swiss champ ?
It has so many functions, but is so fat that it's unwieldy.
 
GT That mathematician's mind of yours helped make an excellent set of clues, anagrams, CODE:D:thumbup:

Might need a cypher-book for your next set of clues:cool:
