Holy crap I don't want to meet you Irl :s

I wouldn't mind cuz I have a shotgun for self defense.

So come on over anytime. :)

@Azx ;_;

@Krakka do you keep it in your pocket? Or sling carry it? If you don't have whatever you are using for self defense on you when you need it then it clearly isn't going to do you much good lol. But yea shotgun pride.

Take note ladies a real man can cook and do maintenance. And I'm single.
(Oh please god date me I don't want to die alone)


Anyways the spyderco sharpmaker is pretty much the best knife sharpening setup you can get for under $100 if you were curious but the pre set guides don't fit all knives so you can either sharpen them for a few hours to reprofile the edges or just freestyle it and go by eye which will only take like 2 minutes to sharpen with. That being said the edge pro apex is a far better setup and will get your knives wayyyy sharper at whatever angle they need except it is much more expensive.

Oh hey, I didn't know Dexter played RS.

Actually Dexter's knives are a bit small for me.

First half of the video just shows the draw (normally I would take a step back after the first one is out as I draw the second so if necessary I can slash with the left then thrust with the right but there is a door behind me so w/e)

Second half shows how the pocket wave feature works for 1 handed opening without any springs or illegal garbage. (slow draw to show it off) And they open as you take them out so it is faster than automatic knives as well. Then a fast draw, and then I compare it to the size of my leg lol.

Also no talking in this vid because I have a headcold and lost my voice, but the clack as the knives lock in place is pretty damn sexy to listen to imo.

tl;dr Ramsay got his fighting style from me

Title of the video lol. Cold Steel Espada XL. I got the expensive micarta versions and not the g10.

They are a bit pricey at around $250 a piece but the features they offer are unparalleled:
Triad lock - I have never seen or even heard rumor of the locking mechanism failing. It offers the strength of a fixed blade as no human arm will exceed the 600 pounds or 300 pounds for 100 hours which this knife can handle with 0 signs it is getting close to failing.

Pocket wave feature - It opens as you draw it making it faster (and far more legal) than any automatic knife which you need to take out and push a button to deploy, or regular knife which you need to take out and then flick open or even use a second hand to open.

Blade length - With a 7.5 inch blade and 16.75 inches long overall it is the biggest blade you will fit in your pocket. In terms of self defense unless you can't see the guy with the sword running at you then you will have the longer blade and reach advantage. If you can cut your attacker 10 inches before their knife can reach you your survival odds go wayyy up.

Intimidation factor - If you ever need to seriously draw this knife, odds are the other person is going to run away. Fight avoided.

Grip - with the shape of the handle it offers several grips with the steel contoured to your hands. It isn't going anywhere.

Steel - The blade is aus8 steel so it is quick to sharpen and will bend before it snaps so your edge lasts longer.

Edge - in the demo vid they put it through a car hood, some meat in simulated clothing, and a few pig rib cages bones and all. Unless you need to defend against a terminator you're golden.

Best place to buy is probably 3bay. Love these guys
