Skulls!?

Betcha' judges just love skull bead lanyards, fobs, etc., makes their job easier when
the prosecution rolls out the evidence.
Especially the skull gripping the dagger between it's teeth. :cool:

DC...:D

Only knife nerds who are incorrect. A lanyard is a cord or strap worn around the neck, shoulder, or wrist. If your doohickey with a skull on it cannot be placed around the neck, shoulder, wrist, or other body part...it aint a lanyard.

Is it still a lanyard hole if I only tie a fob on it, or do I have to call it a fob hole? What say you, knife nerds?

My bad, that would be a terrible thing…no Glitz, no Bling. :eek:
Just a plain old knife. :eek: :eek:
Oh, the humanity.

Mecha,

Tinfoil hat territory.

DC...:D
 
Is it still ignorant if DPx no longer sells plain clips?
 
I don't know if this helps or hurts the hate/love skulls debate and some of you may have already read this elsewhere but here is the Emerson skull story borrowed from Schmuckatelli. BTW, I was hung by a hidden berry vine, yanked out of the tractor seat in a hazelnut orchard, by the neck and my first thought was why don't I carry a knife just before the vine broke and dropped me gratefully back into the seat. Bot a one-handed large clipit Spyderco, fully serrated that week and, well, haven't really let up since:

"The story behind the Emerson Skull

Yuma Territorial Prison was the last stop on the train for him, ironic, as in addition to the 37 men he’d killed, he had sent 3 times that number to prison here: bushwhackers, rustlers, and assorted men of low nature. Where did it go wrong? Had he simply become too fond of the killing or had he angered the wrong man with enough power to finally put him down. As the Warden and the Padre walked him down to the gallows he looked back on his life.

Town Marshall of Abilene, Pinkerton Agent, Scout and interpreter for the Geronimo Campaign, charging up Kettle Hill and taking Las Guasimas with Wood, Roosevelt, and Bucky. Hell, he's even knocked out up and coming Jim Corbett in a bar brawl in San Francisco and helped Wyatt and Warren run down the last of the Clanton gang. The West had changed when he came back: the Apaches were gone, Outlaws rounded up, the only work he could find was dry-gulching rustlers and squatters on the Range.

A legend in his own time, no man would dare put the rope around his neck. The rope he braided and knotted with his own hands while sitting in the poke. They even had to call in an engineer from Wisconsin to design the gallows as no man had the heart to pull the lever on him either. He looked at the crowd of 300 who came to watch the spectacle; he saw mounted Gatling guns on the rooftops preventing any of the "Usual Suspects" from a last minute rescue. “No last minute pardon from Colonel Roosevelt, I suppose.” After he stepped on the platform, he'd drop through on his own into eternity, "This all you got, Jack?" were his last words to the Warden with a deadly grin.

As the water tank filled to overcome his bodyweight on the gallows, it was realized the engineering was off. The braided horsehair rope completely tore through his neck and his lifeless body separated and crashed below, leaving his sardonically grinning skull still attached to his own noose, and dropping the note he held in his hands on which were scrawled the words by which he had lived his life:

"With Bad Intent"

What do you call it when you have a knife with a bail a lanyard and a skull ?
 
I'm glad you survived the tangle with that vine, oregon. The story is interesting. Enough so that it got me to read a little about the history of Abilene.
 
I think it - skull cultural references - comes from dia de los muertos, i.e., Mexican culture.
 
And the Kelts... Facing the grin of death with bravery is what a man would be commited to almost as soon as he could walk. Different times...
