So, do they still think you're a genius?



( )

Still?

You know, I wasn't really going to get one of the Retarded Fat Bastard Field Knives, but then Nathan had to say it was his dumbest idea and even worse than the bowie and now I'm kinda feeling the need if you know what I mean. My bowie is sad that there is a worse knife, and now I feel like I must have it.

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Same. I almost got my order in before the thread locked lol...

The FOMO is real...

I can't think of any reason why I would want or need a FBFK. But it's a dumb knife AND it's called the Fat Bastard - weird that both of those descriptors simply add to its appeal.

I'm in if for only one other reason; this is the Busse of CPK knives (yes, redundant) lol! She screams, "Try and break me! You're not man enough!!! Is that all you got???"

You could just club things, (living or otherwise), and not worry about using the sharpened part.

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Man, I hope I can make the FBFK pre-order. I'll be an hour into our company holiday bowling/drinking party when it opens. I have an alarm set, but will probably be pretty lit by then...

 

[Blues]

No proxies or I'd grab a spot for you.

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Thanks E! I'm just hoping it doesn't go like a normal sale lol. But suspect it will. And these parties are well-known for shenanigans. We'll see haha.

God speed! Lol

It’s probably going to be a long, leisurely sale that will be open for a week or two. I don’t think there’s too much interest in these. I mean he said it’s dumbest knife he’s ever made.

When my kids were little I told them there was a Santa Claus

... they could recognize that they are capable of 100% believing in something just because everyone says it is so.

... children are gullible and some adults can be gullible.

So? did they learn not to believe things just because people tell them it's a thing?

Asking for a friend.

I literally think that Santa Claus is a thing to tell children so that when they get older and find out the truth they will think that lying is ok.

my 4 6 and 10 year old know that it's not santa but people who love them that buy them presents for Christmas

 

[tinfoil hat timmy]

I just remembered I have a Karate promotion tomorrow.

Time for a cream session.

eta. I'll leave that as the typo it is for ''haha'''s

you're welcome

 

[tinfoil hat timmy]

4000?

too soon?

yeah too soon.

''cream session'' oh boy what depths of depravity....

 

[jlauffer]

Have fun with the fat bastard. Already have the sperm whale breaching tool to scratch the weird indestructible itch, so I'm good.

 

[madcap_magician]

Yeah I can't do it, I'm deep in the red on knives and don't need it any more than I needed the breaching tool.

 

[TRfromMT]

I'm curious how the fat bastard compares to the Fireman's tool, from an unbreakable, club-of-a-knife, sharpened prybar point of view. One isn't as stabby, but which one would, say, chop on a rusty pipe better.

 

[Pàdruig]

No breaching tool here but I couldn't resist the allure of a dumb knife.

Frankly, it will make a very fine truck knife.

 

[Alone]

With all the folks attempting to gussy-up their FBFKs, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only one who caught this...


"Other than black or natural scales, there are no other options."


...or this...


"Specs:
CPM 3V, Delta Heat treat protocol (rev A or possibly Rev B) .250" thick at ricasso, sharpened 24 DPS.
Total length ~ 10.4" ish
Blade length ~ 5.5" ish
Weight: really heavy
Grippy 3D machined scales in your choice of black or natural micarta
Grade 5 titanium fasteners"

Do I need a Fat Bastard? What would I possibly use it for? I don't think I could break my HDFK if I tried. Seems silly. I'll drink some more bourbon and then it won't seem so silly.
