STRIDER KNIVES KARAMBIT HS FREE

Through IndonesiaвЂs trade network and close contact with neighbouring countries, the karambit was eventually dispersed through what are now Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the PhilippinesВ and Thailand. As it was weaponised, the blade became more curved to maximise cutting potential. As with most weapons of the region, it was originally an agricultural implement designed to rake roots, gather threshing and plant rice. I won't EVER own an R1.ДЇrom what I've read of Mick Strider so far I wouldn't use one of his knives to scrape dog shyte off my shoes.Statue of Minangkabau peopleвЂs king, Adityawarman, holding kerambitДЄs proven by its etymological roots, the kerambit originated from Minangkabau peopleВ of West Sumatra, IndonesiaВ where, according to folklore, it was inspired by the claws of big cats. I have several Original Cold Steel knives, I consider my Recon Scout to be a great knife. I have bought every Twistmaster I could get a hold of. I really like the design of the Opinel knife but the steel they use is just crap.

That doesn't mean you're going to find many Cold Steel replicas in my house except for the Twistmaster. I notice that with Cold Steel the knives they have copied usually include at least a phrase like 'takes inspiration from' or 'replica of a classic' to explain why they didn't bother to design their own product. When I ask myself why, I find that the answer is more simple than I want it to be: Sales. Different strokes and all that.Д¬old Steel has continued its tradition of coping other's designs. I will say that I had a friend who bought a Blackjack copy and really liked it, he said he couldn't afford the Randall and with the Blackjack he didn't have to wait to get the knife he wanted. I know the old saying that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but since I'm such a diehard fan of Randalls I was bothered more than impressed. It seemed to me that they were just imitators, that if you wanted a great knife like the Model 1 you should get it from the real source, not an imitator. When I saw Cold Steel did the same I was even more so. When I first saw Blackjack Knives come out with a copy of the Randall Model 1 I was annoyed. Whether Mick Strider lied about his military background has no bearing on the quality of his knives and the customer satisfaction he provides.Д¬old Steel does make a few basic knives that are worth the money, but I refuse to fund a scam artist who has no honor. To put it lightly, Lynn Thompson steals other peoples designs and pawns them off as his own. Just check out end of the description from Cold Steel. It's designed EXACTLY like the 'Wave'.ДЄnd finally, the ripoff that started the war with Strider: Read the last paragraph of the ak47 description. The knife design they stole from Bryan Tighe:ДЄ blatant ripoff of Ernest Emersons 'Wave': Are there legitimate complaints from or about either? Is this just a teenage girl's hair pulling contest between two poopyheads writ large?ДЄ few links for you regarding Cold Steel's hypocrisy and thieving. Can some of you give me a nickel's worth of the history that has gone on here? I know there's a lot written about it in some of the blade forums but when I've tried to wade through much of it I get bogged down by people who don't really understand what it means to take the High Road.

I don't get any of the knife magazines and since I've been doing a Masters course I haven't had much free time to cruise the 'net.

I know that this may be old news to some of you but I haven't read much about it. I understand Strider has done some of the same things about Lynn Thompson in different locations. It really seemed like high school hair pulling to me. A while ago I read a message on the Cold Steel home webpage that talked about what a terrible person Mick Strider was, that he had 'enlarged' much of his military history, that he was a disgrace to the knifemaking community, and that he sacrificed goats and live babies or some such.
