If the photo doesn't do it justice I really want to see that in person. It looks gorgous! I'd love one similiar to that. I really think that's one of the best I've seen.

Whether a blade is masculine or feminine is a cultural factor.

The culture I grew up in ... a pocket knife was a rite of passage on the way to manhood. It was a mark that you were mature enough to handle a dangerous tool on your own. I don't think I have gone out without a pocket knife in my pocket since I was age 8. A bit of a cultural thing I suppose. These days it is a Victorinox Cyber37. I still have every pocket knife I ever bought and all the ones my grandfather had. A bit of chronological history there.

I was U.S. Navy. The latest addition to my blad collection is an enlisted cutlass. Working on a rack to display it along with a shadow box for the old medals.

The favorite of my collection is a Patton Sabre. I just love the balance and feel. Not very decorative being black blade and hilt with an OD green fiber scabbard, but oh so effective.

A knife may be the second oldest tool known to out species. And I find it so silly that it is not politically correct to use a knife for anything any more. What is next on the "banned for safety concerns" list. Nail files? Nail clippers? Should all scissors be made of plastic?

Aneirin: You are a far better bladesmith than a wordsmith. Not to break the thread of this otherwise lovely thread, but the comment above is simply ignorant. Those of us who hone our ability to shoot well take it just as seriously as those who fence, throw or fight with edged weapons. Any tool -- and at base, a knife or a gun is a tool -- can be ill used. I own (or covet) several shotguns that I think you, as a metalsmith and technician, would find lovely and compelling. And as to your comment "no skill is needed" -- if you could break 97/100 fast incoming "birds" in a competitive sporting clays round, I would respect your statement. But I'll wager your best blade against my best gun you will never be able to acheive that feat. You simply don't have the skill you denigrate and so you are merely blowing smoke; ignorant blather from someone who otherwise talks sense.

That makes no sense... there is nothing in Aneirin's statement that precludes some people from becoming more proficient with a firearm.

At the entry level, it is more difficult for the untrained to do the same damage with a knife as with a firearm.

Sorry, but my experience of firearms comes from those type one has to use in armed forces, in particular the SA 80, what a pile of junk.I perhaps was hasty with my words, because I did used to shoot with a shotgun and the one I did use was a strange thing, one barrel was American and the other Russian, both a wonderful damascus type construction,even the trigger plate was engraved and silver etched.It was a black powder gun but had been converted for use with nitrate munitions well balanced and a joy to use. Using military weapons slaked my thirst for fire arms, I simply lost interest, and will go so far as to say I learned to dislike them.

What I was referring to in my offhand remark about point and shoot, is basically what they are capable of in the hands of unskilled fools who use them as a respect giver, criminals and petit gangsters etc.I am however aware of the skill needed to use a firearm correctly.
