>>I think we have to do that BIG KNIFE review Doug mentioned in his article.<<<br><br>I second that! May I suggest that we pool some suggestions for evaluation criteria and then let you and Doug decide how much, if any of those suggestions you apply? (OK; I just made that suggestion...) <br><br>Yeah, I check things out on the various knife groups, but MOST of those folks have a different twist on things - even the "survival" discussions are replete with knives-as-weapons chat - while interesting on several levels to me, that's almost irrelevent to what my interests are regarding knives - I can make most of THOSE observations/conclusions by myself almost at a glance. <br><br>I'm much more interested in the usefulness (or lack thereof) as I imagine would be evaluated HERE - actual tests out "in the world". <br><br>Besides, who would write up the test results on "knife-as-a-weapon" evaluations? The winner or the loser of the test? Hmmmm...
