How the hell is that thing even sharpened?

Either way, just about all of Microtech's non OTF designs (that didn't come from custom makers like Lightfoot, Terzuola, et al.) are fugly.

Holy jeez, say what you want about the ridiculousness of that knife, that's one of the nastiest looking pig stickers I've ever seen. Reminds me of the M1917 "knuckle duster" trench knife. X9000. And quite a remarkable feat of craftsmanship too. Something like that could not be easy to produce.
 
The nature of that blade makes it seem like it would rip your palm apart if it encountered any resistance. Blade spins and grip is lost, either way - not a penetrator don't ya think? :confused:

I'll take a CS Recon-1 for self defense over that thing:

It's partly the operator I know but DANG! $50 folder will get ya some tacticlol points! :eek:

Ya know something I found interesting about that show was that they would have the people test the weapons on the torsos but they wouldn't give them a limit to how many times they can hit or how long they can hit it, at least not with all of the weapons. If they were to give the person only one strike chance or some short time to do the damage in I think it would be more clear.

One of these in the skull should stop a bad guy! I thought it was a nice touch to round kick the dead dummy in his face 1/2 way through the attack. Just for style points I guess. I still think the Microtech knife sucks. :D

Just finished most of that series, definitely some cool stuff and some rather bad with quite a bit of ridiculous commentary by the "experts"

The romantic, fantasy views of Asian martial arts were a bit strong.

When I was watching, I could imagine all of the super-collector, armchair warriors who were ticked off that there were no $200-400 knives for the modern warriors.

I question the validity of using ballistic gelatin for anything but firearms, since knives, arrows, spears, slingshots, bb guns, etc aren't actually "ballistic". Ballistic gelatin is designed to be an analog for human flesh when shot with a firearm. Comparing it to anything else is erroneous. Think about it. Punching a skinny wimp in the stomach will drop him to the ground, but punch a MMA fighter, with his muscles flexed, will do almost nothing. A bullet however acts very differently. I don't care how sexy your six-pack is, you get shot in the gut, and you're @#$%ed.

Using knives on a ballistics gel dummy might tell you something, but it's not a definitive analog for a human body by any stretch, at least when it comes to sub-ballistic weapons like knives. Even when they use pigs, the closest analog to humans, it's not really comparable since the pigs are dead and humans would have flexed muscles. I love Mythbusters and Deadliest Warrior as much as the next armchair commando, but not everything they do is admissible by scientific standards, by a long shot. It's simply not possible, let alone practical. Truly scientific results would require multiple, repeatable, live, human targets. And unless your last name is Hitler, Stalin, or Tsung, I doubt you're going to be able to produce such evidence.

Not only that but even if we were to use a live human body, if we give someone 30 seconds like those two demonstrations to just go to town on the person then what weapon WOULDN'T have that effect? They should limit it to a couple shots or a really short amount of time .
 
I hear what you guys are saying and I've been diappointed by some of the shows myself, but I don't care "who you are," you get the first cut into the solar plex of anyone and keep cutting like the Navy Seal and the spike in the head by the Kung Fu dude, you're home free.

Knives are formidable weapons is all I'm saying, that's why cops have that 20 some foot rule and you're shot dead if you advance.

Back to the "drill bit MT shank" before we get stuck in Prac-tac. This thread is too cool to lose back there. :)

May I please steal...err...use this argument for my own intent and purposes? You make a wondrous and valid point here on ballistics gel and its qualities compared to human flesh when testing. Brilliant. :thumbup:
