Dear God, I think we've created a BPL meme...

Damn...
From New Mexican barfighting blades to classy European black market jobs...I'm in good company.

Now that Eugene instilled some knife envy in me, I gotta bring out the big guns.



Gerber LMF II ASEK. Insulated handle so I can cut enemy power lines. BAM.

Good choice there, Travis.

Move aside boys....real men at work here.


And after this, you bet your ass I'm reading Where the Red Fern Grows






...I'm supposed to be waking up for a hike in 4 hours and here I am raiding the fridge for BPL stupidity. Love it.

K that a bk15?

naw man....bk5!

a cool hard 13.5 inches of overcompensation.

Nice, Konrad! I've got a Ka-Bar USMC 7" (14"overall) but its at the family's cabin. Talk about overcompensation (for a civilian).


Homegrown. Homebrew.

Careful Konrad, that 2% can creep up on you.

This is my wife's contribution.

No overcompensation necessary.

switchblade

Oh the nostalgia ... how I long for the days when I could (and did) have one in my pocket at school ... and played the "who can throw it and get it stuck in the ground closest to his foot" game.

A thread about knives, vintage books, and booze may be the greatest thing in the history of the internet.

My eclectic little addition



The book is an original published during the war by Overseas Editions, Inc. Don't know if you can read it at the bottom of the book, but it says: This edition of an American book is made available in various countries only until normal free publishing, interrupted by Axis aggression, can be reestablished.

The knife came from the Karl Marx University cafeteria. The Irish Whiskey seemed to fit the theme (and is quite tasty, to boot!)

Best Vonnegut book ever. I've read everything he's done.

Protech Tantilla: 2 edges 2 oz. ;)

He seems like an author I'd enjoy as I dig Kerouac, Bukowski, Selby, Palahniuk, Hunter Thompson, etc.

The book in my photo is a 1937 printing of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare that I picked up at the Theater in DC. I should note that I'm not a metrosexual but play one on TV.

Viso!!! Hippy Crack. Love the stuff

PDX baby!!!

2nd in line.

for anything.

both of the knives I own. Wish I had the CRKT Dogfish instead of the smidgen

At least I like the knife.
