I'm a sucker for a big knife.
There.
Now I've said it.
A few nights ago while zombie clicking in a somnolent daze I stumbled across the C.U.M.A. Battle Cleaver by Combat Ready Knives a Waysun "Johnny" Tsai design
Battle?
Combat?
Designed by a guy who may be Asian? My inner 15 year old took control and in a few clicks I was $46 poorer.
Knives sometimes come in Boxes. Sometimes these boxes have words written on them. Sometimes those words are amusing.
The bottom of the box reads as follows:
Ok. Fair enough. Situational awareness is important.
But wait, there is more! One of the small ends of the box is printed with the complete text of the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution. The opposite face has a rather boring bar code.
But what is this?
On the side we find:
Best. Box. Ever.
Now, on to the knife.
It is a big knife. Roughly .2" in thickness, 9.25" blade and 2.25" in width.
Steel is 5160 (!) but it is unfortunately hollow ground.
The blade is finished is called Blackstone. Research would indicate that Blackstone is a codeword that means scuffed up epoxy paint.
There.
