"you call that a knife?"

[lacerater]

Crocodile Dundee said "You call that a knife? This... is a knife."

Which of your knives would you pull out in that scene as Mr. Dundee? Mine is a ka-bar 2211

Does a CS "Royal Kukri Machete" count as a "knife" in this instance?
If so, then one of them, or (if I had one) the CS Chinese War Sword machette ... or perhaps a katana? ... or 7 foot blade 2 hand Claymore?
No logical reason I can think of to restrict ones self to a blade you'd have to be close to your opponent just to reach him ... after all, if you're that close, he can reach you.

Okay, but you're limited by the knives you have. And everyone would just be confused if you called a katana a knife.

One that I picked up at an auction in 2015 in Ripley County , Indiana at a WW II Vet's. farm . The pictures were taken in 2015 prior to cleaning it up .
Cattaraugus 225 Q issued to the Quarter Master Corps


As compared to a GEC 73 and Case Barlow for length.

Taylor/BTI Old Timer Bowie, 10 inch blade,strapped to the drivers side sunvisor in my truck. Actually a dang nice knife and came shaving sharp.

They called it the mighty mite for a reason.

 

[black mamba]

Mine would be a Spec Plus Gen II SP-45

I have a number of large fixed blades that would surely fit the bill but one that I have that I find to be quite in keeping with the topic and sub forum here is this Farmhand Bowie by Siegle.

Just a wonderful working blade in 5160, dressed up in Wenge.

This one should do. That's a Camillus sailor's knife next to it to give you a sense of scale.

Always a pleasure to see that one, such a beauty.

But ... but ... you can use it to butter your toast and to cut whatever meat is on the menu to bite size, and for other mundane knife use tasks.

Nice choice, Vince. The 119 was my very first fixed blade, got it when I was a teenager and still have it.

Thanks, Dylan. I bought it for my wife, but I can use it whenever I want!

My first thought was my Svord Von Tempsky Bowie but I like fancy..... every knife collector should have at least one Bowie knife!

 

[Arathol]

Thats not a knife.....

Thats a knife.....

A Randal model 1-7 on the right for a size reference.

 

[Barman1]

I got rid of most of my large fixed knives a while ago (for some reason?) but recently got on a Buck elk roll (to match my 2018 forum knife) and grabbed this 124. Also have 2 110s with elk covers that are on the way back to me from REK after a pro sharpening. Excited!

 

[not2sharp]

one of these might work. (btw that's a 1" grid on the mat)

 

[meako]

Get it right.
"That's not a knife....THAT'S a knife."

An appealing thread...boomerang and SP10 Marine Raider for scale.

Thanks Dylan.
