The Jolly Fat Guy is about to do his 'round the world toy giving thing. I have been trying to figure out what kind of steel he'll be packing for the trip. It has to be something strong to cut through TV antenna wire, clothes lines and leather reins if the reindeer need some repair work. I'm thinking it's probably a fixed blade. It also can't be too big so as not to frighten any sleepless children. He also might need to use it to cut various and sundry cakes, pies and cheeses the kids leave out. Plus it can't be too unweildy or he won't get down the chimney. Neck knife carry makes the most sense since the area right below his chin has a smaller circumference than his middle.
It's gotta be durable too. He doesn't have a lot of time to whip the sharpening stone out and touch up the edge. Talonite would do the trick. Now I figure Santa must have won the lottery or something to have the cash for all that toy giving. He probably isn't a wild spender, but has enough dough and enough experience to know that a good custom might give him the best value for the dollar.
I think Santa carries a custom Talonite Pikuni in a Kydex necker from the Honorary Elf, Rob Simonich. After all, Montana is right up there near the North Pole and Rob's cowboy boots are pointy like elf shoes;)
What do y'all think? :D

Dave,
As you went through the scenario, I was thinking the same thing! That would certainly give Santa the edge!

At first I figured it would have to be a custom one handed tactical blade, but than I figured the reindeer have been running this route for so long Santa basically hangs out in the sled drinkin' nog and watchin' The Santa Clause on a porable DVD he carries with him, so he doesn't need a one hander, in which case my vote would go for a Custom Tony Bose Case Yukon Folder, with Christmas Tree Scales.

Alright, it doesn't have Christmas Tree Scales, but if we all wish hard enough it could happen.
 
I think Santa carries a Bagwell Hell's Belle (in-order to be able to reach-out and give Rudolph a wack if he gets out of hand), and a SOG PowerLock (in-order to take care of anything else that might come along).
 
NECK KNIFE!

Heck the ol guy will hang himself. Ever see how many thingys there are to get hung up on around chimneys? If he used a break away cord he will need to carry about 1000 spares!
 
Santa needs a handful of throwing knives, so that he can nail those elves that aren't producing enough toys for the children!



Of course, we mean by sticking them by the collar against the wall - legs dangling and the elves saying they're sorry and all ....
 
Santa's gotta have an auto - he's got a big assed sack o' presents in the other hand, right? The big guy needs something with one handed, simple operation.

My vote would go to a Microtech Ludt with the red handle... Green kraton inserts would be awesome!

Merry Christmas ya'll!
 
Ant,
I like the auto opener angle! The Jolly Old Elf will definitely have a hand occupied with the toy sack. He's a bit of a traditionalist, so maybe he'd think about a Buck 110 automatic conversion, with finger grooves to help his grip while wearing gloves. He definitely needs a multitool as well for those toys that lose wheels, handles, arms, etc, in transit.;)

One of Jeff's Triton's.., Eggerling Hot-Blued Damascus.., engraved by Bruce Shaw.., with small uranium inlays. Heck.., we are talking Santa here!

Santa has an XXL TNT!! Nothing more, nothing less! And I bet he visits Hawaii first.:eek: :)
 
Another vote for a Puukko for sure, much like what the Laplanders in Finland use. Probably one if the ones in the Kellam catalog with scenes of reindeer and sleigh on the blade and sheath. :D
 
DUH!!!!

OBVIOUSLY Santa will be wearing a KJ Eriksson Mora knife: the red handle and black sheath co-ordinate with his outfit! Remember, Mrs. Clauss dresses him.
