Knife Thread. Last one archived. This is my Frontier Valley by Battle Horse Knives, great EDC blade and my first midtech.
Here's my edc - LT Wright Next Gen.
Both knifemakers used to be part of Blind Horse Knives, before they split and formed Battle Horse and LTWK.
This is the blade that won me best of show. I plan on making a Makarov inspired knife tutorial if anyone is interested in following along?
Just sharpened my edc yesterday.
Post your most based /k/ webms.
Will do a mini-dump as per other board rules.
Hey /k/
I've decided to put together a bug out bag and need some advice as to which type of combat knife I should buy.
I've been reading some reviews online but I figure you guys know more on the topic, alot of reviewers tend to be idiots.
Im looking for a fixed blade obviously, the longer the better. I've been looking at ka-bars, gerbers, and columbia rivers but there are also many other brands and I dont know where to begin.
Price maximum I'd say 150$.
If you guys can help, its much appreciated.

Combat knives are for fags and autists with some spare money
Most real knife fights are quick and it's all stabbing.
Even "operators" employ the x-treme ancient tacticool technique of stabbing their enemies to death as quick as they can.
You can get a china 5$ dagger that's no longer than 6 inches(I'd say 4 or 5 but whatever) that's a perfectly fine "combat" knife.
Everything else is consumerism.
>>28420219
Well I'd like a knife thats all around useful in the out doors. I figured a combat knife can be used for wood, skinning, etc.

Early reports of possible nuclear test in North Korea.
Early seismic data shows it as being too deep, but 10 km is often a place holder depth while USGS gets better data.
KJU probably just slipped in the shower or something.

Chinese now reporting 0 Km depth. Probable test.

What are the advantages to sporterizing a firearm (if any). Why would anyone do it if they don't have to?
To be sporty?

Lighter for taking out in the bush for hunting with.
>>28442814
It made some sense back when a surplus Enfield was $12. Lots cheaper than an off the shelf option. Nowadays even beat to shit milsurp is worth something and many cost more than many entry level economy hunting rifles.

Is the m1 garand the ideal gun to shoot illegal mexicans with? Is 30-06 the ideal anti mexican caliber?
i like how they managed to find the whitest mexican in history
M2 Ball out of a Garand only has about as much power as 7.62x54.
If I were killing Mexicans, I'd probably get a rifle in 7mm Rem Mag or something like that and take potshots from a concealed position 800 yards or more away.
>>28440829
Why would you use M2 ball? Aren't modern hunting loads far superior?
What's your preferred operating attire?
>no pants
>no potato
2/10 because thats a cute pistol

>ITT: stories from your childhood with bb guns or air rifles
>>28437965
I was 8 years old, and I had a red ryder and my cousin had one of those BB guns you pump multiple times.
He was to pump his 4 times to match the strength of the red ryder. After I hit him about 18 times in the chest from 25m he got pissed and pumped his 14.
Me being the dumb ass kid I was and didn't quite understand the concept of good cover, I stopped dead in my tracks right in the open between a barn and a tractor. I saw the BB fly toward me and it curved before it hit me.
I now have a...

A diesel submarine named Cockfags.
So I can quietly surface in the middle of a CBG and yell "Surprise Cockfags!" On a megaphone.

AN-94 at 300 meters
what do you think?
a closer look
those pic is not mine though
>>28438312
Nothing too special for a 74. What were the shooting conditions? Was it standing, kneeling, prone? What fire mode? How long did it take?
>>28438312
>50+ cm "group" at 300 m
>roughly 6 MOA
Very impressive, comrade Nikonov.
Opinions please. Looking for general all round pump shotgun, tough as nails. Will do some PSG with it but nothing majorly serious comp wise.

If you buy a new 870 be prepared to polish the chamber, otherwise it won't reliably cycle cheap ammo.
>>28438123
How come?
>>28438140
Theres a very common manufacturing defect in new 870s. There are little nubs in and around the chamber, and shitty ammo (stuff like winchester white box) loves to get stuck on it. If it happens you will have to mortar clear the gun. Takes about 20 minutes to polish it with a dremel tool and a sanding drum
Why is this board so painfully obsessed with glawks?
There's other good pistols out there.
Because everyone thinks they sound smart for posting the "right answer" and Glocks are typically vanilla enough to work in any situation
>>28436166
Chip on your shoulder?
Glock is the most cock sounding gun so it's a Freudian thing.
Jerry Miculek posted a hilarious video on Youtube, has anyone else seen this?
Mauser C96 Pistol... only 4 working pistols... he has 2... that can't be right. Please tell me one of you glorious bastards has one that shoots too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6EQQnkUGIk
Only 2 live-firing Star Wars blasters. There are plenty of C96 pistols.
>>28435780
My mistake I misspoke, I re watched the video and he says there are only 4 working replicas of the DL-44. So C96 pistol made to look like that.
>>28435765
Cool tread OP, but stop shilling Jerry. We already have our grandpa.
