Hell, even our proto-human ancestors could manufacture pointy objects to stab things with. Some chimps have been observed using spears.<br /><br />Give me a rough piece of stone and a flat piece of metal and I could manufacture a knife in a couple of hours. Give me a grinder and I can do it in a couple of minutes. Drop me in the middle of nowhere with just my undaroos and I'd work out a way to make a knife out of pieces of rock within a day or two.<br /><br />And I'm not exactly Einstein. <br /><br />We are humans. By definition, we are tool users and makers. It's encoded into our DNA, and no law on earth will change that. So if some cretin wants to get a stabby thingy (aka shiv, shank, or just plain old knife) they can and will. This is reality, and there isn't anything we can do to stop it, except to make ourselves such an undesirable target that said cretin will go looking elsewhere for easy meat.Regolithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-84728890237588407532009-06-29T16:59:39.827-05:002009-06-29T16:59:39.827-05:00This part interests me:

Slash across the back of the hand to cut tendons and start bleeding (you know, from those big-*ss veins they stick IVs into). This makes it far more like for your opponant to be able to retain HIS weapon, what with the fingers not closing and the slippery grip and all. Then you can KICK him to death if need be.<br /><br />2. Slash across the face, preferrably at or above the eyes. This provokes an INVOLUNTARY defensive response before it lands, generally aborting his attack, is quite painful, potentially permanently blinding, and (if you get him above the eyes) usually temporarily blinding as the blood runs down. Then you can KICK him to death if need be.<br /><br />3. "Cut 'is bloody froat!" Executing a draw slash to the side of the neck (preferrably starting just below the back of the jaw), do your damndest to send the blade slinging through the windpipe on the way out. Lots of yummy blood vessels that are, you know, THE PRIMARY HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FOR THE BRAIN. natural defensive action will be to grab the throat where cut. Then you can KICK him to death if need be.<br /><br />Funny, with knives, I was really only told to use the tip to stab in a few circumstances. Sentry removal, when I felt confident of my ability to get the knife EXACTLY where I wanted it to make brain frappe, and stabs followed by draw cut downward slashes, either starting at the top of the kidney from behind, or immediately below the ribs from in front. letting your opponants internal organs fall out is usually pretty effective. If he's still too sparky for your tastes after this (and I don't see HOW he could be), then you can KICK him to death if need be.<br /><br />The ONLY thing this knife design might hinder me doing are the viserating stab/slash moves.Rick R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-13378605456250717152009-06-24T12:21:55.648-05:002009-06-24T12:21:55.648-05:00Somehow, I just can't see Gordon Ramsey using ...Somehow, I just can't see Gordon Ramsey using one of these.
