Useless Knives

[Sword and Shield]

Oops! Sorry 'bout that! :foot:

I meant "hydrocephallic" rather than "Asian" . . . "mongoloid" (lower-case "m") is used to insult a person of moronic IQ throughout the humorous book, A Confederacy of Dunces by O'Toole, to great effect.

Again, I apologize for using a derogatory adjective with a dual meaning . . . it was in no way intended as an ethnic slur!

Hey... I'm a hydrocephalic. Don't tread on that snake, it'll bite.

Geez . . . I'm just pissin' everyone off today! Okay . . . I'm gonna edit both previous posts to make 'em more "Politikaly Korrekt" . . . how about if I just say, "borderline retarded with no sense of asthetics"? Anyone gonna cop to having an IQ under 70? Did I offend anyone NOW???

Probably something I bought after the first Rambo movie came out.

Windlass Steelcrafts Primitive Bowie,bought it 'cause it was a knock-off of Jason Patric/Jim Bowie's Bowie in the Alamo.Paid ten bucks extra to have it sharpened by them,came unsharpened!
Had it hollow ground at Youngstown Grinding,primary edge.Owner told me he wouldn't even attempt sharpening top clip.
Good weed whacker and handle hasn't come off.
Yet.

It's a toss up - One of those cheap Buck 110 knockoffs - I did sharpen it - I think it was a freebe thrown in with something - threw it in the trash after about a week

The other is one of those "shotshell" knives - That one still sits in my desk drawer. It was given to me by a co-worker who knows I like knives. She's a really nice woman, and definately a "Manhattan Left Wing Liberal" (her own description), so I forgive her - she has NO clue about knives

I bought one of those Rambo knockoffs with the hollow handle for about 5 bucks just to personally see how worthless they were. Yep - no surprises there. It was a total piece of crap. The blade did not seem to be made of tempered steel. One thing that almost made it worth the 5 bucks is that it was the first and only fixed blade knife I had ever seen that actually had a noticeable blade play. I do believe that the handle would have come right off with moderate "use".

The blades in many of those were held in with a rolled pin, however, the handle was cast zinc so it wouldn't take a very heavy blow to crack the junction of handle to blade. My favorite feature of those knives was the vinyl sheath!

Cheaper Than Dirt knock-offs of Ontario knives. But I was warned.... if I had only believed the company name.

. . . how about if I just say, "borderline retarded with no sense of asthetics"?

My brother is borderline retarded and missed the word aesthetics during his special ed. spelling bee last year. He's very sensitive to this fact and has informed me that he has been dishonored by your statement and would like a formal apology.
