Sledgehammer and nut springs to mind. It's a package, not a crocodile trying to eat one of your children

I don't see what the problem is, What is wrong with liking, appreciating or owning a well made gun, knife, sword etc. (legally)
The only problem are the thugs that use them to kill or maim others. Which i'm sure there are none of in this thread.

Thank you. I would sooner own a beautifully hand crafted Damascus folded steel knife than an expensive and sought after painting/photo or even a nice gun.
The blade on the Kershaw is much thicker than that of the Gerber...
Well said!

Swiss Army are cool, Given most close friends one for a birthday or xmas present over the years.
Ive got a Gerber Mini Swagger on order, been meaning to get a new general purpose knife for a while and this fit the bill and budget perfectly.
Will probably spend most of its time living in my mountain bike camelback with the first aid kit and normal bikey tools.
And for the anti knife lot that seem to want to post in a thread they have no interest in, most normal people use knifes as tools, only douches use them as weapons.

My new spyderco bug

Be careful with that, I owned one and it was exceptionally sharp out the box...also I lost it on my truck as it is sooo small...good knife though!
I fancy a balisong knife, but just because the I would like to learn the tricks.
What would you recommend for a good balisong practice knife? (blunt / comb)
(besides, I would probably end up with no fingers if I had a real one!)
I own no knives, other than for cooking - Don't really see the point but can see why people collect them - Just the same as collecting anything really
Falls into the same category as torches and laserpens i.e fun man toys but only if you are retarded would you laser down an plane or shine a super bright torch into a car

I get what your saying but clearly the fact they are used for killing is primary motive of fascination for the collectors.
Whilst I'm sure there are people who collect all manner of things, you never see a thread started by bloke wanting to show off his screw drivers or antique collection of hammers.
Only when it comes to things like guns, knives, swords to people feel the need to show them off.
Gerber make a practice blunt, its on their site

I think you'll find that a knife has been available for a much longer time than a wire stripper.Electricians also deal with plastics which a Stanley knife would be cracking to use if you needed to score it.
I think perhaps you should spend some time using a knife, you'll find that they can be very handy.
Let's spend over £50 on a knife used for cutting boxes, hmm
My Kershaw was £25 or so and my Gerber £23. I used them to cut thick plastic...and beer cans if the shop annoyed me...
