Mantis knives are tough and sharp,
With cheap designs that make us barf,
But if you spam us we will carp,
Then we'll throw you to the shark.

Bark, Bark!


While E.B.'s rhymes are all good, J.W. may want to rethink that old adage: "There is no such thing as bad publicity." Mantis Pseudo-knives now on my list of craptastic companies never to see dime one of rodent funds. And whut's up with "Mantis Militia"? Very sad, very sad indeed... :rolleyes:
 
Just for the record, I have not had any dealings with Mantis, Jared or anyone affiliated with Mantis. I'm just having a good time. Never even used or seen a Mantis knife. Like I said, I have no dog in this.

But, if this ever comes up, I have a great plan to work on...
Okay, look. What if that ship didn't even exist? Did you ever think about that, I didn't know! So, now, if I went and made a major security situation out of it, everybody steps in; Administration steps in, and there's no exclusive rights for anybody, nobody wins! So I made a decision, and it was... wrong. It was a bad call, Ripley. It was a bad call.

I have found Mantis knives to be excellent at covert deanimation. DarkOps...don't make me laugh. Mantis is where it's at for the REAL operator. They even use a special coating on their blades that's resistant to the deleterious effects of blood spray.

Hard use? That's Mantis's middle name. Sorry Emerson and Strider...but those in the know (and, I might add in the field) depend on Mantis for all their "operator" duties.

As to build quality...Mantis knives are far better than the overpriced Sebenza. There's not even a point in starting a Mantis v. Sebenza thread. The conclusions would be self obvious to the real operator.

In point of fact, Mantis knives are so good...so superior in every way...that it's only a matter of time before Lynn Thompson copies them and slaps on the Cold Steel brand name. Here's a message for you Lynn...Mantis's lawyers are ready. It's go time.

In conclusion, I can't recommend these knives more highly. If you are a real knife lover, you owe it to yourself to try the brand that shames Spyderco...beats Benchmade...and KO's Kershaw. I hear that Mantis knives are gaining in popularity daily. Soon...they will have to distribute them door to door like Cutco does. Only the finest plastics...only the finest surgical steel...only the finest designs....that's Mantis!!!!


How's that? Can I get my knife? Not effusive enough?

Before buying a MANTIS KNIFE, i was constrained to this infernal planet by the evil concept of gravity.

But after buying my MANTIS MAKO, I can Fly! Wheee!

if he gives the fire, emergency squad, police department here in my town free knives i'll put a plug in for him at my website :D. (just in case i better go see if the font goes smaller than 2 since thats as low as i have seen :D)
 
Mantis knives raised my goat from the dead.
Buy one and your goats will live for ever.
 
my neighbor said once he got his mantis knife he no longer needed his viagra. he said it was so awe inspiring it gave him wood:D:thumbup: (the moral of the story is "if you buy a mantis knife you'll get wood"):D
 
Some people call what I do 'recruiting,' but when I've got my mantis at go time, i feel like I'm head hunting.

Unlike most of these (fake) pos(t)ers, I actually have an Emerson HD, a Strider SmF, a CRK seb, a spyderco, a couple benchmades and some other 'real deals'. When my life depends on it, I only trust MANTIS.

I tried using a couple small busses for my work, but they dont stand up like the mantis does. I'll give you an example:

One time I was running a mission in [Edited for OPSEC] back in '05 for [Edited for OPSEC]. We had accomplished mission alpha, and were trying to [Edited for OPSEC] on the way to the exfil. A member of my team, was in charge of clearing some brush so we could get a propper line of site in order to paint our target, the [Edited for OPSEC]. HE was having a hell of a time with his Busse FFBM. In fact it broke because, the canopy was soo whisky laden (anyone who knows Busses, knows thats their one weakness). The dust and humidity has caused all the Striders and Emersons on the team to catestrophically fail. (We left them there to rot in the field where they had failed us). Thankfully with his Busse lying in pieces I tossed him my always faithful Mantis. I figured with all its polymer, and undoubtedly low iron content. It would be element proof.

IT SAVED THE DAY. With only the Mantis, and a chainsaw, [Edited for OPSEC] was able to cut down the tree that was standing between us and the [Edited for OPSEC].

We painted that sucker, and in no time at all the [Edited for OPSEC] was bombed back to the stone age. It was a good day indeed. We made it back to the exfil where our chopper picked us up. But not before I used my Mantis and a couple claymores to rig a nasty suprise for anyone following our team.

Some people called us heroes because of that mission. We lost a couple good guys that day, but the real heroes, were not us, not even my fellow 'specialists' that lost their lives. The real hero my friends was Jared West. He designed the very knife that the fate of a nation rested on for those dangerous 12 hours.

I couldn't mention this in the CRK GB posts a while back... but when they failed in those tests was I worried about our Special Forces Boys lives being lost because of their gear? NOT FOR A SECOND. REAL OPERATORS USE MANTIS'. And they've never failed a Noss test. Not once.

So if your going into harms way, insist Mantis be part of your load out. I did. And it SAVED LIVES.

(This message will probably get me terminated from my current job for breaching all sorts of confidentiality, as well as national security directives, but if it gets the name of Mantis out there and/or wins me a free one, OPSEC and my career be damned!)

Please see my soon to be listed items on the for sale site. I mostly wanted to trade my busses emersons crk striders spydercos swamprats for more manitises

fairies in the woodshed dressed in green
sing mantis knives are mighty keen
send them flying in tin lined hats
over the heads of the scurrying rats
when the mantis militia comes
rats will chase off all them bums
 
my girlfriend , who is also my favorite cousin , well she hated knives. I bought her a Mantits Spec-Tactical folder. Not only is she now totally into knives , she has also started studing under sensei' Montodea at the Praying Mantis duh-jo.

See what a Mantits knife can do for you. Be all that you could be. After a week with a Mantits knife , you will wonder why you didnt waste your money sooner.

Here's my cousin...er girlfriend in her mall security gear.

For those of you thinking , whoa ! That is too much knife for me , fear not , in a few weeks , once we finger out a few details , will be releasing our Mangina line of knives.
 
Ren, that's brilliant. Dennis could not have written better, nor the guy jerking chains over at arglockhk1911dotcom

"If that's your plan A, you better have a Plan B."

So what's going on here? We shill and get free stuff?

Hell, I have a mantis somewhere in a toolbox. Got it as a birthday present. Handle made from recycled truck tires, blade from recycled truck fenders. It got a good writeup in Tactical Knives, so it's likely that the author got an immense bonus for this knife or whichever piece of recycled leaf spring was delivered with a wad of cash or some hookers.

I know we're not supposed to dink Tac knives in this thread, but what the hell, Steve Dick knew about Alan Blade when he gave the bushcraft a good writeup and recommendation last time around as the world was mercilessly beating Blade about the head and shoulders. Did Joe ever get paid back or is he permanently screwed here?

Anyway, the mantis? I guess it would beat trying to kill an aligator with my bare hands. Then again, why the hell would I use this to kill gators when i an just bleed my fishing partner and push him overboard as a distraction?

In closing, I think it would be really neat to get a bunch of free stuff because i wrote this. SKD, take note - I know more about knives than the average TK staffer and really just want a paycheck, not another POS abortive teenage fantasy knife.

Classic! I'm still laughing!
 
I wouldn't buy a Mantis knife if they were the ONLY knife company in the world, and I needed one to save my life!! :mad::barf:
 
Dang, wish I'd read this thread first before replying in one of the others. Oh well...

What I really want to know is this: if any member of Mantis Militia is captured or, God forbid, killed during Mission Bravo One will they be disavowed or will Jared mount a rescue mission? :)
