Now that's a knife!
9Bought this on Woot for $48 (sold out now), and it arrived today. $70 on Amazon.

Beautiful steel, very sharp. I use the “knife edge on thumbnail” trick to check sharpness, and it was slightly duller at the tip, but the rest of the blade was great. Even shaved off a little layer of thumbnail near the hilt of the knife. That hasn’t happened before.

I have no idea what I’ll use it for. Probably just murdering junk mail. But it’s a beauty.
@blaineg Beautiful Knife!
But yeah, I think there needs to be a rule that you can’t open mail with a knife bigger than the envelope.
@blaineg Good looking blade! You should carry it around the city just to get to do your best Paul Hogan one day in an alley. Except you probably also need to cover “that’s not a gun” these days too.
@blaineg A certain mehtizen probably keeps at least one of these in their trunk:

Very sweet
Wow! That IS a knife!
Did it come with that sheath? It’s beautiful!
If you ever see it again, whisper to me please!
I’d love to get one of those for my husband or my boys!
@k4evryng if you have a business Amazon account, apparently it’ll only be $56. Because corporate needs to stock up on Bowie knives before the quarterly results are in.
@djslack unfortunately I don’t have a business account.
And I suppose I don’t really need one…it just looks like a very cool knife/sheath for $48.
$50 is probably the tipping point between ‘buy’ and ‘my husband doesn’t really need this right now’
@k4evryng I gotcha. I agree about the price point too - even with a glowing review here it seems like over $50 I would go “do I really need this giant knife?”
As far as the business account, I used to have one at my old job (wonder if my credentials still work?). But Amazon felt the need to tell me if I signed up for one it would be 20% off. I kind of wonder if I could get one as an individual. They advertise it to me enough it seems like that’s what they want.
Awesome, @mediocrebot!
POPSOCKETS! ROAD ROCKETS! SONNY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
Great looking blade, but you don’t have to be a Forged In Fire fan to note that the blade was pressed, versus forged, and then set into a grip that wasn’t milled correctly, hence the gap between the pommel and the blade.
Nice Damascus steel, but not quite a scimitar.
@phendrick No scimitar, but I do have a kukri.
