OT Hissatsu Knife

Ahh, you dope; what we're really talking about is why in Horror Movies the running victims from Zombies in the woods don't just stop screaming and sink instead into a bush? Now, that's my idea of both ninja and common sense. Bad Zombie walks away perplexed, can't find innocent victim. Innocent victim complains too much, gets eaten.

Uh...we were talking about a Hissatsu Knife until the hijacking occurred. But now that it has happened how about some pics of those Japanese co-eds? :D

That's why I love this forum. ;)

Domo arigato gozaïmas.:D

I really envy you living in Japan Danny.
I hope to someday be able to go there too. (I could do with a little culture shock)
 
Yoi, taihen yoi!

Domo arigato Danny-san.

This helps explain the "why" part of Danny-in-japan.

The sushi has to rock also.

Plus there's that famous martial arts teacher...

What about sword ownership, Danny? I thought they were illegal... need a permit or something? :confused:



Ad Astra :eek: :D
 
Danny got permission from the Yakusa Crime Boss after he cut off his lefthand pinkie as a token of loyalty.

Non Nihonto are illegal.

Traditionally made Nihonto are not illegal, but they must be registered in their owners' name.
 
Cabbit is basically right, but I have seen some weird things happen here.
Basically, as long as it says "not a real sword" somewhere, then they all just believe it is not a real sword.
That's how I got four 30" HI khukuris into japan without any questions.
they were all just big farming tools.

If you want something that IS a real sword, then it has to be made by a Japanese person. The license is just a postcard type thing that is taped or tied to the sword itself.
 
That was interesting hearing about your fight, Munk. I remember hearing it when it first happened, but for some reason I thought you said the guy had stabbed you in the head with a spoon. So, for all these months, whenever I saw your name on a post I pictured a guy with a spoon sticking out of his head.

Now I hear it was a coffee mug. Was there by any chance a spoon in the mug that you forgot to mention this time, or did I just imagine the spoon part?

Lets hit you out of nowhere with a blunt object and see if you can remember what it is. :)

It is a neat-looking knife.
...Even SEALs tell me that they don't actually use their knives for fighting very much, almost never, in fact. What they need are good camping knives, like HI khukuris.

Actually apparently that does depend on the assignment. The other day I was reading GRU Specnaz veteran's book fragments about Afganistan war during Soviet invasion in there. Those guys(Specnaz) did use knives a lot. Their task was intercepting/destroying caravans coming from Pakistan.
I'll skip the gory details, though IMHO it was very interesting reading. What was worth noting knife wise was the part that standard issue AK bayonets were no good for their work and later they did use sharpened truck leaf-springs.

I completely believe this.

My cousin had a Japanese exchange student once for a semester. Another time is was a Swedish girl. Anyways, the Japanese girl knew all about Hiroshima & Nagasaki but was fuzzy on Pearl Harbor- sure though that Japan was forced into the war. Scary part, they took her to see "Shindler's List" and after she asked, "What's a Jew?"

The revisionist history thing scares me. And a sword is always a sword.
Just wish I had one with a 800-year old lineage... what a treasure those katanas.

Jeb's right; I didn't know. It was black- just like in a detective book after the hero gets sapped. I knew I was dead and went down swinging- that's about it. I thought it was a spoon, then I learned it was a mug- by half moon shapes embeded into my skull and witness reports of the bloody cup. And in the last 3 months, I recalled coming to at the end and being clear enough to finally try and hit the guy in earnest. I remember he picked up a chair. Then I was hit by an unknown massive force. I was through, but my Pal politely kept embeding the cup in my head as I lay there.

So now you know all I do, Ben, and lets move back to knives. There is no spoon sticking out of my head, and I was not born with a silver one in my mouth.

I disagree. It doesn't look like a fillet knife per se....more like a fillet knife and a puuko were left unchaperoned in the ole knife drawer for too long and that was the ugly morphodite bastard child that emerged from the mating process.

I thought of it as a "tactical fillet knife" when I saw the pictures, but when I handled one...well...that blade is too dang wide to fillet Moby Dick, much less salmon or halibut.

I do have to give the company credit though, at least they aren't trying to convince anyone of its practicality and versatility.
