1. Since Dane breached the topic of knives, who here carry's a fixed blade with any regularity. No matter how much you train, the fixed blade will always be simpler, faster and stronger. I know one State Trooper (only I shall know which state :smile: ) that carries a Cold Steel push dagger on duty tucked behind his magazines. He's a DT instructor and tries to "unofficially" sell all his recruits on the idea. Even though, officially, the dept forbids fixed blade knives in uniform duty. It's unobtrusive, and in a flash he can cover his gun with one hand and hack away with the other.
2. What would/do you carry in a fixed blade? I would like a PATAK from MadDog, but the wife will not presently allow that much $$$$ expended for one knife. :sad: So, what's something you would carry, say, under $75? I was thinking about the new CRKT Kasper/Polkowski. Maybe a 3/4 size Ka-Bar, any suggestions?
