Practicality of this knife?

12 "gut hooks" > 1 "gut hook" right? Never know how many spleens/colons/toxic venom sacs your kill might have out there in the last frontier :)
 
Cool looking is a function, no one want to see aliens running around with machetes.
 
That knife would match the skinning ability of tools like a chainsaw or snowblower. There is zero use of it. It isn't even that cool of a design with the miniscule amount of metal that supports those hook serration things.
 
My wife just happened to be sitting next to me when I opened this thread, and keep in mind she knows nothing about knives. I asked her how practical that knife would be and she just starting laughing at me.

On a serious note, No, you need to remove more then a 1/4 inch of flesh at a time in order to be a practical skinning knife.

But would I mess with someone that pulled that out on me in a dark alley?..Probably yes.
 
Is this thread for real? Is that thing in the second post what the OP is actually asking about? I can't believe that anyone with eyes and who has used any kind of knife before would ask about the practicality of that thing. It's all just a joke, right?
 
Against my will, the Bud-K catalog comes to my mail box. There seems to be a market for fantasy knives, useless as they look.
 
^^^ You mean "Useless as they are".
My little brother is into fantasy blades.
I say this proudly because he loves them and that's his preference.
But even he knows that the majority of them are zero on the practical and useful scales.
He knows this is why I stopped the whole fantasy thing and just started getting them and giving them to him.
I don't see the point of having so many things that I can't do anything with.
This is why I like pocket knives.

If it wasn't so expensive, I would totally get it for my brother. So he could poke things and destroy boxes.
Lol.
 
This knife was on the TSA website. I believe it is on the list of knives you may now carry onto an airplane, as it poses absolutely no danger.
 
I'm pretty sure its soldered to the stand its on.

Even if it wasn't I can't see a practical use for that. It a replica made for looking at.
 
Thanks for making this easy for me!

I normally like to drop into threads like this and blast away with my own uninformed opinion, but Dan57 pretty much said it all.
