Here that knife:

It says 440 steel, but I'm sure it must be 440A, not 440C, which means the blade will probably snap in two as soon as I attempt to saw through the femur of that drifter I unfortunately clipped in the Park. It were an accident, but why take a chance? He's keeping nicely in the back of the SUV, awaiting rendering unto a more interrable format.
And if it don't break, it could be just the thing for some Santa Thinks You've Been a Naughty Girl and Those Panties Have to Come Off Crimma Eve role playing. Just a thought.
Note: Artist's conceptualization below the fold:

Have a wonderful Christmas, Vman... with or without the panties.

Posted by: GUYK at December 24, 2007 12:50 PMGerber is still made up here in Oregon. I've carried the dagger for decades, and you can still shave with it.
Posted by: Bane at December 24, 2007 2:03 PMI'm green with the jealous voices! Got, I need a utensil like that to shave my nether parts. Ah, bane be sure you're careful with dat dere blade.
Posted by: erica at December 24, 2007 7:19 PMFucking cocksucker spambot -- that's not me!! I swearz, I will beat the shit out of it when I find it. I've just about enough of being spoofed on other peoples' sites.
V-man, Merry Christmas to you...a lovely drawing.
>:-(
Not only do I not shave my "nethers," but were I to, it would not be with that dang thing.
Oy.
::just a little worked up, here::
Posted by: Erica at December 24, 2007 9:11 PMDon't want to rain on anyones parade. But Gerber is now made in China too.
Whoever took that picture of you, got your good side.
Merry Christmas and a Scrappy New year to you and yours.
This message was approved the the spambot that's pissin' Erica off... Just kiddin E... go back to nethermindin'.
Honest Injun, it's me, 'Neck, I said this shit. I can't be botted, I'm freakin' original, like a 3 dollar bill original, see what I mean. Damnit.
Nice knife Vman... don't get bobbited brother.
Bobbited is to a verb, look it up.
Posted by: RedNeck at December 26, 2007 6:22 PMBuck knives are made in China?! Ew!
Posted by: Peggy U at December 26, 2007 9:55 PMJust FYI, Buck Knives are now proudly made in Idaho, good ol' USA.
Their China interlude was but a temporary curative to keep production going while they un-assed El Cajon, CA for freedom in the frozen North.
Buck fled CA due to excessive taxes, over-regulation and other endless nanny-state bullshit from the Peoples' Republic of Kalifornistan.
If they do still have any wares coming in from the commie hordes, I'm thinkin' it'll be short-term influx, replaced with Idaho goodness, as soon as production ramps up to full capacity.
Oh, and Vman? NOT a good idea to feature razor sharp rapiers and yer danglies in the same post. Worse even, than running with scissors.

Well, I know for a fact that there is a Gerber factory just up the road apiece from me here in Oregon.
Posted by: Bane at December 28, 2007 4:22 PMJim: Seriously? Where in Idaho?
Posted by: Peggy U at December 29, 2007 1:58 PMYou are correct Bane. I had to call the company. Multitools and a few fixed blades are still USA made for GSA contracts. But 90% of their line is now china made.
