A Day Early and a Cut Above

I’m doing this a bit early because I’m going to be busy for a few days.  Most of you know by now I’m a weapon collector.  Most weapons I have are from my travels however lately I found a site that has some items I can order right here in the US that I simply couldn’t resist.  Lately a knife called a “karambit” has caught my attentionDSC02989.  It well fits the training I’ve had in martial arts but aside from that I think it’s amazing to look at.  This order came with a couple free knives.  One of them was this nice folding karambitDSC02990.  It’s assisted open and clicks open with the click of a little buttonDSC02991.  Another in my collection is actually from Pakistan though I didn’t purchase it…it was a gift.  It has a Bowie style bladeDSC02992.  It’s razor sharp!  The next knife came free with my last orderDSC02993.  Next are these two knives…the top one is a butterfly knife I bought in the Philippines and below it is one that I received as a gift…very unique to meDSC02994.  Lastly is totally unnecessary but a total steal for $13.00!  I simply couldn’t resistDSC02995.  Well, that’s it, I’m cutting this short (ha!).  Next week I hope to have some really nice photos.  Until then God bless and keep you!

      Thanks Carol Dee, they aren't all sharp but some really are. I like them quite a bit. The wind continues but not as bad as it was. Bless you my friend.

    Do you do any sword sets in martial arts? We learned a spear set once that was fun. My hubby, Steve, knows a few sword sets. Mostly we're more into Judo and Jiu-Jitsu.

    No most weapon training I did involved knives and short staff. I did variations of Jeet Kun Do, Tai Chi and Ken Po...the art of overwhelming an opponent...love it...miss being into it like I used to be but some things you never forget.

      Thanks Beth. I like taking these out and looking at them once in a while. Most of these are new to the collection.

      I've no idea what your commenting issue is about. All the time I've been here I've changed nothing. Weapon collecting is a little hobby of mine. Some are unique and from abroad, others not.

    Another thing we have in common. I have many knives as I collect as do you. I love my razor looking ones with the African wood ..it's olive, coral and butter yellow ovals of color radiating out. They are absolutely so cool looking. I have SWAT knives of course, one only switchblade, the standard collectible Case knives and the like. I have some that remind me of your karambit but they are not. They are soooo COOL though.
