Forgot others can't read 'em. It would ...Oh, shoot. Forgot others can't read 'em. <BR/><BR/>It would be wrong of me to post my own knife puns here... <BR/><BR/>...but sometimes, you don't wanna be right. <BR/><BR/>Friend Mike (a cop from a large P.D.) was relating an interesting story about a knife-wielding suspect that had cut up some people. <BR/><BR/>Peter made a minor "cutting remark" pun. <BR/><BR/>Then I was compelled to post: <I>"I've no doubt that the neighborhood was worked up. Nothing like a big stropping guy doing mischief with a blade to set the area on edge. Add 40 cop cars arriving hot with their strobes slicing through the night and their sirens cutting the air, and a tang of apprehension will be pushed to the hilt! Y'all caught the guy right? If not, he doubtless had a close shave, but he could get away clean if filet low. That kinda situation can butcher the beat cops' concentration, knowing that their vests serrated for bullets, but not knives."</I><BR/><BR/>Then: <BR/><BR/><I>"Heh. Mike, that was acute little news story, there. No chance of any but the salient facts making it into that one! It was the kind of story that makes you say "Gur" 'kha 's'there's more information that could be obtained, if the reporter would just sit down with a witness who was willing to talk kukri. What was the cusp, one wonders? What caused the sword feelings? 'Course, some don't need reason to get violent; there's scimitar willin' to fight without any point to it. <BR/><BR/>Lord help me... I have more..."</I><BR/><BR/>I have to go for awhile.

The round shape wears nicely in the pocket, and they are decidedly non-threatening to the sheeple. They aren't a hard use type knife, but good as a "gentleman's knife". <BR/><BR/>Strangely enough, I almost went to Monmouth, but decided to stay in TX and go to Southwestern University instead.10%https://www.blogger.com/profile/01465263028137447310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420886806115679313.post-59595370929041558142007-08-10T00:09:00.000-05:002007-08-10T00:09:00.000-05:00I don't know a lot about them firsthand.

I may be going down to St. Louis tomorrow (buying a toilet, serious business) which would necessitate, by law, a visit to Grand Prairie Knives.<BR/><BR/>www.gpknives.com<BR/><BR/>They carry some Laguioles; I'll take a look and let you know what I think.<BR/><BR/>Do you have a cutlery shop nearby? Like, a place with knowledgeable people who will answer questions and let you fondle knives you might not buy? It's a beautiful thing.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824445546892392815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420886806115679313.post-10455786282902480032007-08-09T19:08:00.000-05:002007-08-09T19:08:00.000-05:00I'd believe that.

The French would rather people thought their lines a little on the awkward side than have anyone think they weren't doing things their own way.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824445546892392815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420886806115679313.post-88262064875448628552007-08-08T17:55:00.000-05:002007-08-08T17:55:00.000-05:00Have you ever seen the Laguiole knives?
