New knife for Kahr owners

[Bill K]

yeh...short blade to comply with bovine scat (BS) blade length laws
I'll pass...sell'em in Taxachewshits

You know you got me thinking... That knife kind of looks like an assault knife and therefore despite its short blade ought not to be sold.

[Bawanna]

I do detest blade length laws. Mine mostly don't fold.

I've told the knife story going into the Fed Bld'ing in Anchorage.
Told the "guards" I had a knife and asked, "would I be sent back out the door, with my knife, if it didn't comply".
I got this "hahaha, remember Crockidile Dundee movie line" type answer.
I asked the question again, got no answer, and not wanting turn over a $100+ knife to be kept by those asshats, I turned and walked out.
My wife tore them a new one for being so glib to me, and she left too.

We went back the next day, different "guards", different answers, let me in with my knife.

Where's the salt water in MN????

Haven't you ever dropped your knife in your Margarita?

Yeh, maybe why they will offer color options, as we all know Black is just evil:40:

Interestingly I saw a test done with serrated knives vs just good old sharp plain blades and the speed of cutting seatbelt webbing. Turned out the serrated versions tended to grab the webbing as they cut and slowed down the cutting process. Plain sharp blades won the test every time. FWIW

I have tested both blade types during our extraction drills. I agree if the blade is super sharp. If not, the part serration gets the cut started and the smooth edge finishes the cut in very short time. The problem with worn seat belts is, they tend to fold over when hurriedly you grab them and start your cut. Blade shape is also very important so you don't fillet your accident victim.

In the real world, forget a folding knife, I have one of these in every car I own. I have tested them and they work as advertised. Best to cover your hand with something while using, because the glass literally explodes in your hand. Makes for great gifts also. $10

I like Spyderco too.
My Pacific Salt H1 is always with me...

I too think Bravo Sierra knife laws are behind the short blade.
Many states require a sub 3" blade.

It's sad...

[Bawanna]

To make things even stupider some states are broken down within by city. Like Seattle has knife ordnances shorter than other cities.
Don't matter to me, I try to avoid Seattle like the plague that it is.

My son works for the railroad and they have a company rule no longer than 3" blades.

They do issue really nice lanterns that work well as a bludgeon but he don't really carry the lantern during the day.

Try a Benchmade blade.....they are top notch. I carry one every day and is both sturdy and scary sharp.

I just picked up a Cold Steel Code 4, and I would have to describe it as "scary sharp" as well. I took it out of the box and opened/closed it a few times to start getting a feel for it. Somewhere in there I put a pretty good slice on the pad of my right thumb. Never felt a thing...just noticed that I happened to be bleeding now. Hate when that happens.

I'm not into optic orange LOL.
But I made the mistake of holding this one at a local Walmart.
For $50 - the Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate is a whole lot of knife for the money.

I did that with my Spyderco Persistence

I have a Hornady Buck Vantage Pro on it's way, should be here tomorrow. It's hard to beat S30V steel and G10 scales for about $50 shipped.

DO NOT BUY THE HORNADY VANTAGE PRO

It is NOT a Vantage Pro, it's a Vantage Force Select!!! It's FRN scale and 420 steel. Way over priced @ $50 shipped!!!
