I have fixed blade knifes, that well truth be told it is more a knife shaped axe But its not that often i got a valid excuse to carry one of those.
I spent many a class in school drawing knifes, big fixed blade knifes, so much so the teachers got worried and i had to visit the school psychiatrist.
And then teachers left me alone after that, as i think the shrink confirmed that yes i was indeed not like the other kids, and back then there was no help so problems was just sidelined.
To this day 37 years later i still call my 9.5 years of school as the biggest trauma / nightmare i have ever encountered, you know how some kids can home in on a kid that’s not quite like them.
When i drive past my old school i always roll down the car window and spit in its direction.
I have tons of large and small blades that get exactly “zero” use. Because I never do anything. Because I’m lazy. But some are really cool — mostly Ontario, Gerber, Cold Steel…
My EDC knife (if I actually carried it) is a Cold Steel Vaquero.
I’d like to get a Glock knife and a Cold Steel Peacemaker III (boot knife); but the truth is, I have no use for them. I just like them.
I had never had one of their knives before. I liked the look of it and took a chance. Not large sized but not small either. Fits in the hand nice. Nice edge on it. Not super thin but not super fat either. Opens smoothly and locks up nicely. I really like the blade vs handle contrast. I will give it a workout and see how it holds up. I’m not super hard on knives but I will do my best to give it hell.
Think it was $34 on eBay. I could have probably gotten it cheaper overseas or Amazon but, I didn’t want to wait on overseas and I am not using Amazon till they get deliveries figured out in my area.
I’ve got an Amazon gift card burning a hole in my pocket and was going to pull the trigger on one of these, but for some reason they don’t sell knives to people in New York State. :rage: :person_facepalming:
Here is the link to the ebay ad I got it from. Atlantic Knife Co is the seller. They have their own website too with lots of knives, I just so happen to run across it on ebay. They shipped fast.
