Would You Buy This Knife?

Bobbit Wants Another Cut

Since ex-wife Lorena stripped him of some of his manhood, John Wayne Bobbitt has been paying the bills making pornographic videos with titles like Uncut, ministering to a church in Las Vegas and driving a tow truckin that order. Time for a new moneymaking scheme: Bobbitt has gone to court to reclaim from police storage the knife his ex-wife used to make him famous. Hes going to sell it on eBay and start taking bids at $3 million, says his spokesman. But talk to Bobbitt about the venture and he gets sentimental. I just want to bury the hatchet, so to speak, he says of his plan to split the proceeds from the sale with his ex. Like splitting has gone so well for them in the past.

Well, BladeForums is where the big knife collectors reside, so I guess we're the target market for this item.

I think John Bobbitt is ridiculous. Even more ridiculous would be the person who actually makes an offer for the knife.

It would, of course, depend upon the knife itself. If Lorena had an afinity for say...
Loveless or Randles, perhaps.

My bet is that Ms. Bobbit only knows Love Less Handles....

Groan..

Yeah, they could market a whole new line called the Weenie Wack knives. The question is, what production company would pick up on it?

From the 31 January 1994 issue of Jeff Cooper's Commentaries:

Now that the media are doing their best to cover up the Waco atrocity, they have been able to downrate the news with the forensic pornography surrounding the Bobbitt case. In response to this, Dan Dennehy, the renowned knife maker who has long been one of the stalwarts of Orange Gunsite, will now offer a special instrument to be known as the "Dan Dennehy Dick Docker," featuring a serrated edge and a pink plastic hilt. He will have it on special order for uppity feminists as soon as it is available.

As long as they don't start making Benchmade Bobb-it Axis lock knives for wives, I don't care who gets that ONE knife!

Actually, at $3 million, a collector could never afford to USE that knife again, thereby making our streets (and by streets I eman pants) a little safer guys
