Over here there's no such thing as "knife for self defense puposes"
Quote from: Andreas on August 30, 2010, 06:29:00 PMOver here there's no such thing as "knife for self defense puposes" Law can be fuzzy here as well, but I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. As long as your not flashing it about the police here would never suspect it.
I know some Klingons who would really like these
I was kindly invited by Grant to make an introduction to the guys and Gals here at MultiTool.org to the products that we offer at www.MaxVenom.comI would think we could have shown some better manners on our side.
Zack - The Karambite is made from S60V, some pretty hard to come by material these days! And although I do not have a photo of the sheath system for the Back Bite on this computer it is Very much similar to that of the TOPS Taliban Take Down as pictured in the following link.
How was the Kapu named?
Sorry Colin, I should have warned you that we have accidentally encouraged everyone to have an opinion here over the years. It is true though that most of our guys appreciate craftsmanship regardless of what the intended design is for, and whether or not they specifically have a use for it.I thought the knives look pretty sweet to me, and I figured the members here would like them, and it appears that the vast majority indeed were. Don't take it personally that some didn't though- as I said, we generally encourage folks to have opinions, as I personally feel that a forum where everyone agrees with eachother is pretty boring, and a forum where everyone is "forced" to agree isn't a forum at all, it's an "againstum."At any rate, I think I'll be placing an order with you sometime in the near future, as I really quite like a good quality fixed blade.Are there any plans for a small fixed blade in the lineup other than the Kerambit? I always found things like the Cold Steel Para Edge or SOG's Mini Pentagon to be really handy, as they were easily concealed. I usually secured it in the center of my back on my Uncle Mike's belt, under my glove pouch and handle down, where it was virtually invisible yet easily grasped by either hand. As handy as a large fixed blade would be in a cqb setting, I always thought that a small blade that could come from any direction and was virtually invisible was the kind of ace in the hole that would really determine who was going home and who was going down.Perhaps it's just different styles, but if this intrigues you, I'd be happy to work with you on designing what I think works well.Def
Fisting_Chili - Kapu is a Hawaiian word that is roughly translated to English as "forbidden". As the Kapu was designed based upon knives of the pacific islanders who had no access to metal, and that daggers were actually most unique to Hawaii, it seemed like a good fit.jzmtl - The S60V was never abandoned in favor of S30V. The Karambite remains available in S60V at this time!glorn - Good eyes! The Kapu was inspired by a great many implements of this nature. Shark tooth swords included.The Kapu is a collaboration between myself and Tuhon Tomas Kier of the Sayoc Kali Group."It was necessary that these implements have jagged edges or teeth. Most modern non-metallic knives take too much for granted from the modern metallic knife. An effective non-metallic knife must not only be capable of puncturing, it must also be capable of ripping muscle, veins and arteries in order to achieve optimum tissue damage and blood loss." - Tuhon Tomas Kier
