My very first Kukri, and the start of my knife collection. It was love at first sight. Bought at the Ohio Renaissance Festival about 18 years ago, today it is battered and abused.
I don't recall that I ever really sharpened it. Still it managed to take down a small tree (or was it a large bush) in a friend's back yard.
It's true calling however was breaking ice. I may have used it on the side walk a few times, and I remember using it to carefully remove very thick ice from my car windshield.
But the main event was at my restaurant job, where I used it to de-ice the tile floor in the walk-in freezer.
It did the job well, but it suffered the price. The edge of the blade has been beaten completely flat.
Usurped by my Cold Steel LTC Kukri (which gets abused doing yard work) This blade has been retired for years. But it served faithfully and did everything asked of it. As a Kukri should.

Black Sunday
I hope you're in a better place with soul set free
I hope you're still singing loud with soul set free
Too bad you're not around for us to see
But I still feel you around
Like
You
Never left us

Only a Flesh Wound.
Cleaning the brass guard of my dad's Cold Steel Stag Trail Master (I bought him) I look down and see red on the paper towel i was using. With a quick flash of panic I peel of the rubber glove I was wearing to find a paper cut sized nick in my thumb. Never felt a thing.
That was a close one...

the emperor has no clothes and is kind of a dick
View from the Red Eye
The lesson here: when Joe & Mika say they have your back you can kiss your ass goodbye.
Also I'm not joking about the emperor's new clothes. I wish this was the turning point that woke up the masses. But who am I kidding, this happened on MSNBC, so no one was watching. It can not counter balance TIME magazine putting a dick on the cover 7 time during the 08 election season.

The sincerest form of flattery
My Buddy the Gun Enthusiast has done several movie posts over at his place, and I like the format so much I thought I would swipe it for this post.
MAN on FIRE
MSJ Rating: 10 of 10
(It is my favorite.)
John Creasy is a man who has done terrible things for King and Country, His deeds weight heavy on his soul, and he studies the bible and drinks to try to numb himself. While visiting Mexico he is persuaded to take a job as the bodyguard of Pita Ramos the daughter of a rich family in Mexico City.
Over time Pita and Creasy bond andthey all live happily ever after.
Not even close...
From the Internet Movie Firearms Database:
"And they're gonna wish they never touch a hair on her head"

I an sure Weiner supports a woman’s right to choose…
