The ethics of selling knives

[ilbruche]

You've all seen my prison shanks by now, and I was wondering how I could add a nice looking handle to them? So far I've thought about wrapping an athletic tape around the handle, wrapping a tennis-raquet replacement grip around the handle (kind of expensive), or making some 2-halved piece of wood and then drilling some holes in the knife and bolting the wood to the handle. I might also consider gorilla-gluing the handle together, although I'm worried that the handle will break during combat. Can someone point me to a good handle making tutorial, or better yet post some suggestions here?

Anyone ever consider that these idiotic, mall-ninja, death filled posts that pop up every other week might just be the same person over and over?

Always the same inane questions, usually followed by scalding replies when we tell them they are idiots.

It is either some kid with no clue or some worthless adult who is laughing his/her arse off each time someone gives a serious reply.

Really folks, anyone who asks if they should handle their "knives" with replacement tennis racquet handles doesn't deserve a reply.

Try plastic coating them.

Run a bushel or two of plastic bottles through a garden twig chipper and 3/4 fill a large caterers size 2quart tin can with them, top up with gasoline so the chis are awash. drag the gas grill inside, you don't want a breeze blowing evaporated fumes down into the flames and lock the doors to the room so your family can't open the door and cause a breeze to low said fumes into the flames. once the plastic is all melted, dip the handle end of the shiv into the molten plastic, pull out and let harden, and dip again, repeat until the plastic is as thick as you like... if it takes to long to melt, just dowse the lot with liquid Oxygen.


And if you're dumb enough to have gasoline within cooee of an open flame, let alone in a locked unventilated room, you deserve the Darwin award we've got reserved for you. I'll be glad to be the guest speaker at the awards dinner when we present the certificate and plaque to your survivors.

WARNING... this guy is a troll and a liar. He is NOT making knives for other people and, in fact, is not really even honestly interested in making real knives at all. In short, this guy is a medieval Live Action Roleplayer and I made the mistake of taking him somewhat seriously for a while. Unfortunately, he was not actually interested in learning about knives, he was just looking for someone to respond to him. Fair Warning....

This reminds me of the kids that played D&D in the eighties and killed people in the name of satan.
