KNIVES OF USE

welcome to my knives/blades information section

during my life so far i have been infatuated with knives (mainly from a hunting point of view).

but there is nearly as many different types of knives/blades as there are days of the year . so to try and help the newcomer to knives this/these page/s will try and help.

before you go out and buy a knife ask yourself a question WHAT is the knife for?

hunting
fishing
rescue work
industrial work
services(army/navy/airforce)etc
kitchin
general use
jungal and survival use
collection

now that we know what the knife is for , we must not forget the rules .

SAFETY

knives are classed as weapons (in the wrong hands they are) in the wright hands they are tools
all knives are or can be dangerious when i say knives, i mean blades.
respect of the item is the safest way to deal with knives or blades of any description.
ask any surgeon and they will say it is easier to repair a clean cut than a jagged one .

so it is best to keep an edge keen/sharp depending on the task in hand.

to try and demonstrait this try cutting the sunday joint with a chainsaw, you might just end up with all your joint on the wall of your kitchin.

on the other hand (and this extremity is outside of my scope/knowledge), try cutting the same joint with a surgeon scalpel you may well be cutting all day!
