Hi! I agree theres space for all tastes and the market is self-cleansing but having a bit of fun with some innocent jokes has never hurt anyone
. Come on, its a grown-ups place here, not a kindergarten, I dont think there will be anyone going crying in the corner for some light sarcasm. Also because, frankly speaking, I dont expect individuals buying stuff advertised as the ultimate tool for eviscerating enemies to be such sissies
.
I have a much bigger problem though, connected with the definition of "tactical knives"
. This has been around for years but I still not fully grasp what they mean with the word "tactical before knife and, above all, because this defines a specific type of knife, typically "all black", with serrations on the spine, tanto blade profiles, Klingon design, with handles impossible to handle, skull crashers, etc.
If I go to by the dictionary, a strategy is the description of a long-term action plan used to set and then coordinate actions to achieve a predetermined goal. The strategy complements the tactics, which instead aim to plan the best single action and must take into account all the practical constraints and resources presently available to achieve it. Changing tactics during operations or activities is normally possible without major problems, and, it is often advantageous indeed to adapt to new situations; change strategy on the other hand it is usually difficult and expensive because it requires a thorough reorganization and modification or abandonment of a set-up, investments and tools currently in use.
So if I follow the logic, based on this definition, I would rather try to define my "strategic knife," rather than a "tactical knife"
. What Nutnfancy would call the PoU (Philosofy of Use) of the tool
. Only by then I could define or choose the one with the best tactical characteristics. So, if I have to wolf down a dozen of grilled ribs (strategy)
the knife I will choose will be different from the one I would choose for the wood carving. In my opinion, it doesnt exist a "tactical knife" as a category; there are thousands of them, depending on the strategy that guides me.
If I hear instead the tactical knives definition supporters, they think differently. But, in my opinion, theyre still wrong when asking provocatively to those like me
- who say they do not see the difference between a normal and a tactical knife, this rhetorical question: "Well, is there a difference between military rifles and sporting rifles?. They answers to themselves:" Damn if there is, and it is also pretty big!" But still, in my opinion, there is a misunderstanding on the strategy. If my goal is to make the tightest groupings at the shooting range, as a rifle, I probably will not choose a FN SCAR MK16. The tactical use of a military rifle is different from the tactical use of a sporting rifle. Just my opinion.
