Yes, that's right!

EVIL I SAY!

Why?

OK here's the deal. I caught myself yesterday, pricing out Kifaru gear. Why? Well, these new damned RC knives and their MOLLE attachments and such. I don't have any MOLLE gear, and I believe that something that is meant to CARRY YOUR SURVIVAL GEAR, should, well, be bomb proof. Hence, Kifaru.

I'm going through "Oh, this model looks nice, about the same capacity as what I use now. Nope, doesn't have the PALS webbing at the top on the sides, so if they bring out the RTAK, I need a pack with the webbing up top so the blade doesn't stick below the bottom of the pack."
So I narrow it to packs that have the webbing up top.
"Do I need a 7200 CI pack? No, but I probably have enough stuff to fill it, if I bring my canvas tent along with my tarp, couple sets of clothes. . .hey! I could get one of those camp stoves and a couple MSR bottles, they could go in there. No better keep the fuel separate. Let's add a pair of long pouches to the pack. . ."

Then it hit me.
Normal people buy knives as accessories to go with their gear. Here I am, completely reoutfitting (to the tune of nearly $1400 for just the pack and add-ons) my gear TO MATCH MY KNIVES!!!!!!!

Oh, let me add this: to match knives I DON'T HAVE YET!

That's right, I decided to wait until June to get an orange/OD RC4.
But do I want to get the RC6 (which should ship this month), or wait and see if they're going to do an orange/OD one of them.
Maybe I should wait until the RTAK comes out. I mean, if I have an RTAK and an RC4, I won't have much use for the RC6, except that it can replace the RAT-7 in my get home bag. . .but then, the SERE is coming out, a bit thicker and more of a scandi grind, should be tougher and stronger than the RC6, maybe better for the "only one knife" role. . . .

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I should have kept to the Himalayan Imports forum (although I did drop something like $1200 on kukris my first month, then there's the knives, swords. . .oh hell, I'm a knife whore. I haven't even looked at new guns in 7 months. . .woe is me).

:D
 
That is some funny stuff. Only funny because I feel your pain. So many kick a$$ knives, so little time.:D:D
 
I know the feeling. I need this orange handled RC-3 now and I do not have an RC-4 yet. This is getting harder and harder to justify to the wife.
 
We may be evil but we blame all of it on knife nuts like yall. We were satisfied with the standard old RC-3 but no, someone had to start yelling about orange and OD, desert tan and green canvas micarta, etc. :D
 
I agree. Notice that they introduced the 'plain' RC3 and 4 first. They're an entry drug; now that we're all hooked they'll introduce the 'cool' stuff like green micarta handles:thumbup::thumbup: and green blades.
 
Sounds like Mr and Mrs Smith:

Mr.: "OK, I was married before."
Mrs.: "What's her name and social security number?"
Mr.: "No, you're not going to kill her."
 
But knowing the evil of women, the manner in which she sends you the blades may kill you quickly at the same time they kill him slowly. . .
 
LOL .....Ok, :D you talked me out of it,if he or his evil counterpart tries to give or sale me his blade cheap..I will Resist (I hope)....:grumpy:;)
 
Glad I could talk you out of a possibly dangerous situation.


Psssst. dblagent, have her send them to me now that Tony's out of the picture! :D
