Knives

Looking at ESEE’s new lineup at Blade Show 2015.

Checking out some of Hogue Knives’ new offerings at Blade Show 2015.

Pro-Tech shows off one of its cool new auto folders.

I’ve given some consideration to one of the most under-appreciated tools that you should invest money in but probably haven’t. The kitchen knife.

I’d seen Medford knives from time to time, and I’d actually priced some on the web, but I always thought the price was a bit steep. I used to make knives, and I know–better than most yokels–what is actually involved in the process. But this year at SHOT Show, I got to see the whole line-up, and I’m here to tell you that these things are impressive. I’ll have one, too, as soon as I can scrape up the cash. Check out their Sniper–a knife that is also a Sniper’s tool.

Looking for a hard working knife that isn’t going to break the bank? Want your knife to be made in a small family run shop, and here in the States? Check out the knives made by White River Knife and Tool.

When I was kicking around in the FNH booth at the SHOT Show today, I caught wind of a special project the folks at FN have in the works. The press release is below, and worth reading. Proceeds from the auction go to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Click on the Buy Now on GunsAmerica link below to see the auction and place your bid.

You have probably already surmised that GunsAmerica is an enthusiast site run by enthusiasts. Therefore I feel it my duty to report on really cool stuff I encounter that relates specifically to guns and shooting sports, and other stuff that gun guys usually like. If you have been following my Prepping 101 series, you may have already read the “What is Your Fighting Knife” story, and in that I mentioned that there are some great deals to be had right on Ebay. Why these idiots from Pakistan don’t sell on GunsAmerica is beyond me of course, but I’m an Ebay junkie anyway. What I found of late is that as Christmas gets closer, the opposite of what you would expect is happening. Demand has been slow, and the prices have been coming way way down. Incredibly gorgeous Damascus pattern Bowie knifes and other patterns of hunting knife are going for crazy low money, and I can’t help but share you with you the deals I have found. The digest for this article is coming out on December 22nd, so if you don’t visit here during the week you probably missed out on gift buying for others, but who needs other people when you can can just buy gifts for yourself?

The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled this week that dirk knives and police batons are covered under one’s Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
