There is nothing like good Cutlery!
I carried at lest 6 blades while in the AirBorne.
I always carried 2 before enlisting.
(Upside down on my belt Gerber Boot Knives)
Most of my Mates carried Guns.
They were afraid to fire them and took beatings.
I was never afraid to pull my blades and took way less beatings.
I also carried a very thin Blade in my sleeve made out of an old file.
That saved my arse several times.
I'd rather be shot then cut myself.
Blades invoke an age old fear when pressed to your throat.
Maybe that's why I have several Swords around along with
short, close Combat Knives.
But no Guns in the House.
I did enuff killing with Guns.
If you invade my Home?
It will be close and personnal!
