Knife porn thread

Stick it up ya 'arris. Police will never search there.

With or without the optional camo sheath? Your votes matter folks...

As someone may remember, I have/had a pair of quite lethal looking machetes. Neither were mail order.

But where would you get your genuine golok now?

Didn't a few shops,such as tkmax, stop stocking knives...I believe the reason was people were stealing them.

I had ninja training manuals…

Maybe.
Though outside of clothing, less obviously so in adulthood?

My wife is not very materialistic, but she has a compulsion to aim for 100% completion on games, puzzle books etc. Her family wasn’t much for collecting.

On the other hand, my mum collected thimbles, nice porcelain, tourist spoons.
I am very much a collector.

There isn’t really a valid reason to carry a zombie knife or machete, they are not really collectible, and in the urban jungle, likely only used for intimidation and violence.

Kitchen knives are legitimate kitchen tools, and you can’t really ban the sale of those. There is already an age check on blades of any type.

I have one of these https://www.gaywaysltd.co.uk/silky-fox-yoki-billhook-p7485 at work, I bring it home with me if I’m going to be working in the garden. Sometimes it’s in my rucksack/bike bag. With the new rules am I going to get in the shit?

I have both billhook and machete in my tool bag, I am a landscaper so have legitimate and regular uses for them.

Heinnie.com will be fucked if so.

I move a Machete/ Nata tool between home & allotment because I don't want either stolen from the shed & put to fuck knows whatever purpose by whoever did the stealing.

can someone link this

We were caught making ninja throwing stars in metalwork at school. The teacher pointed out we were using the wrong type of steel and it would never hold an edge , he got us some high carbon steel instead

Some machetes are collectible because they've been standard military equipment for ages, not as weapons but for clearing a path in jungle/forest. https://www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk/martindale-golok-british-army-machete---the-genuine-one-78-p.asp They're also widely used for camping and gardening. And every butcher uses them. https://www.s-staniforth.co.uk/specialist-woods/278-butchers-knife.html

Some zombie knives are collectible because they come under the heading of film/game memorabilia. They're usually very cheap, made of rubbish metal, but I suppose if you have ill intent they represent the best value, because you use them once, throw them away and you've only lost 30 quid. https://weaponsgalore.com/product-category/swords/end-of-days/

And if you're going to talk about machetes and zombie knives, it's logical to include bayonets, swords, axes, meat cleavers, scythes etc.

As you say there's already an age check. Some couriers provide this as an extra service for online sales....the recipient of the parcel has to show ID.

Here's a fairly collectible RAF machete. I've got a similar one but it's cheap and tatty https://theantiquescentreyork.co.uk/collections/gifts-under-500/products/a-world-war-11-royal-air-force-folding-machete

How is this a comparison?

Having a machete for gardening or outdoor activities is perfectly valid. Roming the streets with a massive kitchen knife is not - even if it's made of white steel with a 15º angle.

I own 3 machetes. Two medium, one short. They all have sentimental value for a start and the two medium ones are used as garden tools (one left at my parents, one in my house). The short one is superfluous in fairness, but it still has sentimental value.

Here is my main one

I did mean carry.
Carrying a machete or a kitchen knife for violence is both equally heinous.
If you were questioned while transporting knives, having a machete on you to take to your allotment, seems less plausible than transporting a kitchen knife for work, or for a meal etc.

But you are right, there are completely valid reasons to have a machete for practical use or for collection. Trying to keep them out of the hands of misguided youths is a pretty noble goal though.

I was given a British service issue kukri, that I've been meaning to recondition for sentimental reasons. A knife with a fearsome and lethal reputation.

Not sure how up to date it is but:

With the burden of proof being on you, trying to justify having a machete in a public place, even on an overgrown wild camping site, may be difficult.

You forgot the pr0n mags.

Cough, you forget my carrying kitchen in a panier, wrapped in tea towels was classed as carrying weapons.

Also how many opinel knives is too many?

12

12 of each number and type ;)

This is only 10 tho.

I got uncertainty from store staff in Stockport Decathlon when I bought their entire stock of heavily reduced Opinel's. They let me do it in the end, I think I wrote about it in here at the time.

Did they sell the lockable opinels in Decathlon?

You can stop buying them once you find and purchase a no. 13.

Off the top of my head in our house we have: 2, 7, 2 x 8, 2 x 10, folding saw, paring knife, Chef's knife, Mushroom knife, butter knife and peeler. Right on the limit.

Isn't my 13 photograph on here?
