Holy crap, some people are complete morons.
I posted this pic on ZT's Facebook page, and this is a conversation I have with a moron.
This is the first thing he posts.
"what's up with the tassels supposed to loop around your wrist so that they don't slip in your hand when covered in blood"
I don't respond.
He then posts this
"r u into military grade tactical knives?"
I post....
"Not necessarily"
He replies with.....
"the ones with the hole on the hilt are tactical made for hand to hand combat instead of say cutting rope.designed to cut flesh instead. I like Spyderco knives commissioned for police and elite military"
I finally reply with.....
"@blah blah. I'm going to have to disagree with you in almost every single way.
1) the hole in the handle is for a LANYARD, and it's most commonly called a lanyard hole. The main purpose of a lanyard is, a) to make pocket extraction easier, b) give you more grip if a knife has a small uncomfortable handle, and c) it's a way to store paracord. And almost every single knife on the market today has them.
2) the features on the handle have very little impact on how a knife is meant to perform, and the features you are talking about DON'T impact it's purpose. The blade geometry, stock, etc decides whether,or not "it's designed to cut flesh".
I'd recommend reading up a bit into this hobby before trying to teach others about it. Or at least don't try to teach those who obviously have a lot invested on this hobby."

If he comments again with something stupid, I'll just delete it, since it's my post.
People never seem to stop surprising me
