Steve Ryan. Usually amazing, but this is just plain weird.

Okay, I want a Biohazard as much as the next fellow, but I am cruising through TAD and see this

Might as well do the pic.

Ah, the "thing".

cool knife, but I heard its not sharpened, kind of an impact tool.

If it was sharpened, Holy FUC-, it would be cooler than britney spears and willa ford in a hottub with a bottle of scotch and lots of soap.


mmmm, britney and willa....I bet they would want to be bad...
real bad...

i'm going to go look at tim herman's tac-babes now...

Most ppl it seems cannot appreciate the unique beauty of Steve Ryan's weapons...
However, since the first time I saw any (In a TK issue), I've been wishing I had one... any of 'em... all of 'em. Warlock, Harbinger, Model 1, SRT, and most of the one off's I've seen, just to name a few... not to mention some of his swords

And in a strange sort of way, the Thing appeals to me too.

Even if you dont like the designs... look at the amount of work that goes into his blades... hours and hours of machining handles, og cutting/shaping and grinding blades in those fantastic and wild shapes and patterns... thats complex, HARD to do stuff, ladies and gents.
Above all else, I admire the man for the level of his craft.
He is a true artist IMO. (Not to imply other knife-makers arent, they are, all in their own right, unique unto themselves. Just like Ryan.)

Either you like his stuff or you don't, I guess. I happen to like them.

it is a folding sword catcher! I got to handle it at SHOT for a couple minutes Very useful "tool"

It definitely is unique, but I find that I don't mind the look at all. Looks like it's built like a tank. Some of the fantasy offerings by United Cutlery look much weirder than this, in my opinion.

If it was sharpened, it might be pretty cool. But as is, it is bofugly!
