So, I get together every few years with the same group of 4 college friends. We are all well into our 40s - and pretty sure I'm the only one who owns firearms. We have all gone shooting together before though - just mentioning that to set the stage.
Was trying to think of a cool gift I could bring this year - and lately I've been looking at alternative self defense tools, mace, sprays, knives, noise makers, whatever - and since I keep my guns locked at night, was thinking a knife like this might be appropriate to have next to me where a gun might otherwise go - but, well - kids - safety - you know.
So, really multiple questions
Is this a decent type of knife for this purpose? Seems like close combat is it's only purpose and would be better than a bowie knife.
Does anyone make a decent replica of this from WW2? As a gift, a replica of a WW2 weapon would be pretty cool, but actual vintage ones are a little pricey, and the only other ones I saw were made in China, which kind of ruins it in a way.
Anyone have any other gift ideas along these lines? Just looking for some cool stuff -
