  1. I think I've just got a big obsession with karambits or something, they look like velociraptor talons

    1. @rarity Great for slicing but not much else.

      1. @awlderpy also great for looking hella sweet

        1. @rarity I prefer a nice linear blade to cut, serrated edge is a plus. Then again I'm a sadist... and a stealth-based fighter.

          1. @awlderpy if someone is tied up, any knife will do just fine though

            1. @rarity If someone's tied up you don't need a knife.

              1. @nerthos yes you would, to cut the rope

                Monday, 13-Jan-14 04:03:56 UTC from web
                1. @rarity Just go He-Man and tear the rope into bits

            2. @rarity Eh I don't believe in proving a point in that kind of thing. I've seen too much of that unnecessary crap in my life.

      2. @awlderpy Useful if you manage to pin down the target. Otherwise a bayonet, military knife or bowie will be better.

        1. @nerthos Too messy to slice, you only do that kind of stuff if you're sick in the head and/or making a point.

          Monday, 13-Jan-14 04:01:07 UTC from web
          1. @awlderpy Yeah, it's not a tool for a clean kill.

            Monday, 13-Jan-14 04:02:06 UTC from web
          2. @awlderpy @nerthos to be fair, if you're an untrained moron like me, wouldn't a bigger blade that I can use in a punching motion be better?

            Monday, 13-Jan-14 04:03:28 UTC from web
            1. @rarity It's better even for trained people, more force more leverage.

              1. @awlderpy I just mean that in the rare possibility of me being in need of a knife, I'd prefer to have one that doesn't need me to have things like "proper grip" or "technique". I'd just like to clench my fist as hard as I can to make sure I don't accidentally slip and stab myself

                Monday, 13-Jan-14 04:07:42 UTC from web
                1. @rarity Barring straight up knife fights which are really uncommon you won't need technique for most any knife.

                  1. @awlderpy I just imagined two people having a swordfight with tiny knives and can't stop laughing

                    1. @rarity it'd be more like circling around and then over in a second. I've done them with rubber tipped knives in mcmap and it's not nearly as cool as hollywood makes it out to be.

                      1. @mylittlesistercantbethisincestual yeah, I know. But my tired imagination is fun

                        1. @rarity I always pictured them as that obnoxiously difficult quick time event battle with Krauser from RE4 but they never lived up to that.

                    2. @rarity That's not too wrong an image to conjure either, is what's funny (we were quite thouroughly trained with this)

                      Monday, 13-Jan-14 04:13:54 UTC from web
            2. @rarity Yeah. A 20-30cm blade would be ideal for a fighting knife. Straight blade though.

              1. @redenchilada it's true

                Monday, 13-Jan-14 04:09:35 UTC from web
    2. @rarity http://pny.lv/9pc not the same but still

      Monday, 13-Jan-14 03:59:48 UTC from web
      1. @flamingpandaomg that's the kind of stuff you always see fat kids posing with

        1. @rarity *quickly hides picture*
