Bladed weapons thread

Those are just shitty kebab shanks. Not worth your time.

>>29281873
tourist junk. if it actually is from the middle east/india it is kitchy shit they sell to westerners and isn't worth anything. also shit ceremonial knives with rat tail tangs and tin grips tend to be shit as knives, so don't try to use them.

it could also be swap shop junk from the 70's-80's when people would buy shit like that because it was cheap as hell.

Do you have a forge to harden steel?

I have no way to harden steel and I really want to make my own knife. Do you reckon a forge guy would just let me use his forge?

it's from myarmoury.com

>>29282363
Yeah I got a forge, it's not hard to make a homemade one for less than $30. Looks up some methods on YouTube or something.

>>29282438
Are they safe to build? Like a lot of "home-made" stuff I see here, they look like painful/one way trips to the hospital

United Cutlery Combat Commander Gladiator Sword 16-5/8" Blade

Your thoughts on this one? Would it be decent blade for, let's say, home defence?

>>29281873

Are knives or blades still deadly in the modern age?

>>29282622
Stab yourself in the heart and find out

Was there some kind of human evolution that prevented the death of people when they got stabbed?

>>29282654

Not so much a biological evolution but a social one

>overwhelming police presence
>miraculous trauma care

Fake kabar, should work well enough but it won't win contests

What's the best knife?

and yet, last I heard there are still more than a few cases where people are shanked to dead. So by the power of logic, if there are cases where people die from bladed weapons I presume that means they are still deadly

I just bought a Bitchmade Mini Griptilian. Pretty solid EDC blade.

Both my charcoal forges and propane forges work fine, I will say that my charcoal forge throws a lot of sparks but works better. Also the propane gas could explode which makes me like it less. Honestly the sparks from my coal forge aren't even that dangerous compared to the propane

>>29282710
For what?

>>29282844
stabbing and cutting
