Okay, I get the funky fighting knife business, sure but have you watched the video about the TOW missile range finding capabilities built into the knife?

Wouldn't the hole size need to be calibrated to the length of your arm for any kind of accuracy. Or, do all those high speed low drag types have the same length arm...I understand it's an exclusive club and all.
And taking design influence from the beak of a raven... I mean come on! Not exactly a great cutting tool, the old raven beak...Okay, I get the funky fighting knife business, sure but have you watched the video about the TOW missile range finding capabilities built into the knife?
Quoth the raven "Nevermore" !A

It would be excellent at opening garbage bags though. Haven't you ever wanted to tactically tear open a garbage bag using raven peck technique whilst firing TOW missile hahaA

I still can't believe the BS these guys spin.
Next they will say the uneven jimping on a new model is for astronauts navigating the solar system in a space shuttle
I wanted to post it but I wasn't sure if I could still pretty new here and working things out.
But a Sherman tank does fit into the spiderco hole at 500m if you are a midget with shorter arms hahahOF COURSE! I'd wondered where I saw that shape before, and he is right... it's the shape of Israel. Now, the Golan Heights he pointed out is a bit wrong. See, he has it pointing out at 90 degrees from the handle length... for accuracy it should have stuck out the back a'la a glass breaker or skull crusher or such. Learned alot from Mrs. Kinsbee's Geography class, cuz if you weren't paying attention she was hell on wheels throwing an eraser. BUT I DIGRESS:
The hole is sheer brilliance. Back in my military days of launching TOW missiles, me and my other crewman (Fitzimmons) were much disgruntled every time we launched on a jeep carcass, or dump truck bed, or whatever the range target of the day was and the missile just thunked off the dang thing having not traveled the requisite 550 meters to arm itself.
This was troublesome not only because we had to pack up the tripod, tube, sight system, toilet paper, spare ATC Tomahawks and such and run further away from the target after each failed shot. It was troublesome because Fitzimmons was... well... I'm trying to be "woke" enough not to call him a lard-ass... he was a "girthy" sort... and waiting on him was just frustrating. He was one of those guys we termed as "sacks of snacks" or "Snacky" for short. Whenever he passed a PT test it was a miracle that was out-miracled only by the virgin birth of JHC himself and the Cornish Game Hen... (the CGH is a miracle in the culinary world for several reasons, but I digress). He would actually fight other guys for the peach cobbler packs in the MRE's. Had I brought some college course books, I could have finished an associates degree waiting for him to catch up. Fat-Zimmons, some of the less cordial of our unit called him. BUT I DIGRESS:
Well, he'd finally catch up, we'd stand up the TOW array, trigger it off...
WHOOOOSH! Zoooooooooommmm........ THUNK!
DANG IT!
And so we'd pack up and run farther away from the target.
Now, had we been packing one of these knives with the calibrated hole in it, well let's just say the defense budget could have been a bit smaller that year. I know what you are thinking... the defense budget has ballooned this big because of all the ammo me and FatZimmons wasted. But it's not that. The MRE MFR's have learned that troops fight over the Peach Cobbler packs and now are charging a premium for them. But the Lardo REMF's will pay whatever the requisition cost happens to be to keep them coming. BUT I DIGRESS:
Also, the batteries for the laser sighting and range finding equipment are priced off the reservation. The savings that the hole in this knife could realize are huge.
This guy is a genius. A real (LAWS) rocket scientist.
Somebody should tell Sal over at Spyderco to drill the hole in Spyderco knives big enough so that an entire Sherman tank fits into it at 500 meters. He'll make a killing.
A bigger killing than me and Fat-Zimmons ever made, that's for dang sure.
Yes , ridiculous Paki blade catcher/ breaker ...but you apparently needed one ?
