Got me an MPT

[Benner]

Got me an MPT indeed today.

i like the NO-nonsense simple design a lot.

Glad you got it ok mate. 

I think the BO has survived pretty well. 

[Tarrodemierda]

yes it has.


now iam in deep deep trouble....should i use this or start some girlish safe queen collection

[Benner]

You don't want to be starting one of them mate. 

[Tarrodemierda]

yep i think so,but on the other hand......


my collection wouldnt be so BIG now,i only have minitool,mpt and 20 anniversary wave,taht i dont use.the wave is new,never ever used,and minitool has emotional value and its completely polished like a mirror by my dead father.

but those are the only even a bit un usuals i got.

Let us know what you think of it once you've had a play mate

[Tarrodemierda]

will i  have a PLAYMATE ?

which of them?

(drool emoticon placed here)


well thats the problem,this one seems to be so goon,almost good as new so should i just execute the ordinary stabbing thru car door tests or just keep staring at it at build a temple for it?

Well as it's your tool, I'd recommend the car door tests

[Tarrodemierda]

i think ben wouldnt me too happy chap after seeing the results

i did my first bash tests some 15 yrs ago with Cold Steel SRK,it wa sreally good with any brutal actions and kept its blade rather good too after i hit it thru windshield and doors.that one i went and sold when i was in army,was i stupid or what.but there i bought my hackman vietnam blade from this moron who took it as worthless rambo blade

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I've still got my SRK it's pretty old and beat up in place's, but I wouldn't sell it for all the tea in China

[Tarrodemierda]

i think u would actually .

back then it cost about 60 euros

i managed to cut me self badly with it,that bad i couldnt walk for two weeks but the doctor said it was nicely sharpened and therefor easy to stitch atleast.

Nope my SRK never bit me, but it sounds like your's took a sodding great chunk out of you

[Tarrodemierda]

i was pryin some frozen roots of dead tree in lappland and i slippped somehow and of course hitted into my leg into frontside of ankle,thru muscles to the bone.boy was i glad;).especially when i first had to cripple-walk in 40-100 cm snow,about 15 km´s to nearby village

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

 

Well at least you learned you lesson

[Tarrodemierda]

i surely did.now i pack some thred and needle so i can do some do-it-yourself frankenstein stitches and continue the trip

before that i owned a ka-bar too,in army times.it was so great disappointmentat all points of view,it bent,cracked and the handle broke totally,sheath was crap too..id like to give these new ones a try nut the cool models arent availeable here.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I think the original Kabar is an icon, a true legend in it's own life time

Is it a good field knife?, no

[Tarrodemierda]

yes i had that thought too but mine was genuine kabar,not any copy,paid a lot for it and it didnt last even for two months and i didnt do any stupid action that arent allowed for battle-blade,with it.

but....i assume that a fighting knife should survive some chopping and twisting,turning,and stabbin but no,this one bent a lot,lost its shape/sharpness all the time and the handle made from leather shims bent too so much that they started to roll around tang and the blade ate its way thru sheath just like that when it was tied to my thigh from the loop it had at tip op sheath.finally i just threw it into one tree,and it stuck there but it BENT again so i left it there and burned the sheath.if u want one,get it there from that tree.i dont know are ka bars meant for arctic warfare at all but this individual Ka-bar sucked a lot.

do u have any experiences with these new ones without leather handles ?

i like the design of that WartHog( are u surprised ) model,it looks sturdy and powerful stubby.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I've never handled the new generation of Kabar's, but to me the biggest problem with the original was that it was far too thin to be strong enough at combat/utility tasks

i hear you.

its really too thin,if i hit it into some log and twist even a bit,it bent immediately and didnt even try to remain its shape.like some 3mm tin plate.yuck.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I think the new ones are about 5.5mm thick
