Tacticlol Knives II: The Return of Ridiculous



This "knife", while being total garbage, is remarkable nonetheless. It has somehow become sentient. The hole and notch look like a profile of an embarrassed face....it seems to be wondering "Why do I exist? Who is the Sino madman that created me?"
" I'm mostly made of steel , how can I best obliterate this hideous shameful form ? "
 
This is funny... 🤣 Couple of years ago, good friend of mine, knowing how much I'm into knives, decided to give me a knife as a joke.
He looked for the cheesiest possible knock off model in the Express site, ordered it and gave it to me for my Birthday... 🤣
This is the knife from the picture. Naturally I left it aside and didn't even think about it till I saw this picture.

As continuing with the same joke, another time he gave me also a wooden knife he brought from Jamaica, I have to dig this one out too...

That’s a good friend right there. When the bonds of friendship go beyond the serious, into the messing with each other. I sure hope you return the ridiculousness in kind, or, even better, one upped!

I hate to admit it but I actually do like the blade shape and handle profile on that one.

Not a huge fan of the geometry but the knife looks really attractive in person, especially the coating - it’s very pretty blue color…

You’re right. This guy is brilliant hydraulics engineer, done some very interesting projects for BP, NASA, DOD and recently for Elon Musk. Very good friend of mine, I gave him numerous knives that he immediately lost…
‘Looking at your avatar, I think this could be interesting for you (apologies for the off topic):
He acquired a Cobra kit car that was fairly uniq - Corvette engine (I think) in Cobra kit chassy.
He did exceptional job finishing the project, and now every time we stop by on a traffic light
always someone will roll the window down to ask details…
‘Here few pictures, note the hybrid emblem and colors… 🤣

That’s awesome! Although I’m not a fan of the Chevy in those, to each their own and it’s still a great looking car!
 
The majority of kit Cobra's have a small-block 350ci Chevy engine. Availability and ease of adding performance upgrades are the main reasons. If you just wanna drop a Ford 427/428/429ci into one, there are kits for that.
I'm not a fan of fiberglass Cobras. I understand, but it's not the same.

Older ones, yes. But the new ones seem to all be getting the new coyote. I want to update mine with that power plant. I used to agree about glass ones. But, I’ve learned a lot. They are more stable, handle better, faster, and loads safer than the originals. They each have their place, as far as I’m concerned. As long as you don’t try to pass one off as original. That gets stuck in my gizzard more than anything…..

Dadgum, here we go off on a tangent lol!
 
Oh, I know the replicas are actually better cars than the originals. There's just something about hand-hammered aluminum that fiberglass can't match. It's the sound of the body, as much as the engine, that makes a Cobra such a fetching experience. Glass just doesn't resonate the same, regardless of the power unit.
