A little bit of geek trivia for you guys; the knife Leon uses in Resident Evil 4 was inspired by the MercworX Sniper. Spas-tick22, between the two knives the KABAR does seem like the much more practical choice for an outdoors/general purpose knife. For airsoft specifically, it will be much easier and more practical to carry since there are a variety of different sheaths and scabbards you can use to mount it on vests, LBV straps, ruck sack, belt, what have you. And for the price you wont cry if you lose it in the woods, the link I gave in my last reply sells the full size KABAR w/leather sheath for about $62. |

thats great, that knife is only good for sticking in ribs and crainiums. My bad, when I read the first post I thought you were looking for a bush craft knife. Good luck skinning a rabbit or doing anything with that knife but stroking it. :smack:

from what i understand a tang is, yes its full tang, made for stabbing and sclicing, and Issue, are you implying that a Farbane-Sykes Style Knife is useless? well that may be the case in your mind, but to me the one that i have bought will fufill all the requirements that i need it to, yes i realize that a khukuri is inface nothing but a large and inpressive machette, but the sykes style knife seems to work for that i need, and so far it is doing so admirably

I think what he's saying is that of all the knives that people have suggested (the list is VERY LONG)... You went and got a REPLICA of a KNIFE whose primary use is killing HUMANS (which also wasn't on your original list).
And people wonder why people get angry... BTW: What's the opinion on those Glock Field Knives? I haven't seen much on them...

One thing that people seem to forget is that the issue Kukhri comes with two accessory knives which are perfectly serviceable in themselves beyond being used to sharpen the main blade.

I got one a few weeks ago for about $50 USD shipped. For that price it's a really nice knife. The blade seems a little skinny, almost like a bayonet but oh well. Not as nice as some of my knives but like Morb said, the price is right.

Well you just proved that no matter how much advice people offer a player, he will in the end ignore it all and buy something completely useless, just because it looks cool. That sheath sucks as well.

glock field knives are nice, but again SOG seal knife series winds hands down, ive had a few, and the SOG is by far the best.

Of course SOG knives are better, it's in a totally different class than the Glock field knife.

The Glock field knife seems decent, especially for the price (around $70). The blade is narrow, similar to that of the M7 bayonet but you get the option of buying the plain blade or the saw-back version with heavy serrations on the back of the blade. The sheath is apparently made of the same polymer as the frames on Glock pistols and it seems sturdy enough. The knife also as a great feature of clicking into a lock on the sheath which makes it pretty secure. You're not going to lose this knife over a strap that came loose.
I haven't put mine through any serious shit yet, these are just initial impressions. |

if im paying attention, and im not, if i were to get a combat knife, id stay away from folders, full tangs are deigned with serious torque on the hilt in mind. Doesnt matter how anonized the blade is, if the fulcrum of force is applied to the end of the object rather then the middle in a full tang knife, the pressure on the key components is far greater, you should only need a folder if its for concealment, and even if thats the case, if you wear a belt, you can hide a combat knife easily
