Daggers and 'hawks

[Chief StrongLeaf]

I love fighting knives and hawks almost as much as guns.
I'd love to see other brother's blades too

Already posted in the other thread. One of the best fighting knives available, at least for the real world. Those who are preparing for zombies or Russia invading... this need not apply to you.

Those teardrop or pear shaped handles look divine. I bet they feel even better when gripped.
I tried looking into the edc thread to try to find out more about "one of the best fighting knives available", but didn't get far.
Please point me in the direction for more info on this killer of a knife

It is the [mass produced] ShivWorks Clinch Pick. The one with the red handle is a dummy trainer.

If you register on TPI, there's lots of info about them there. Many youtube videos also.

The basic idea is that if you're using a contact weapon, you're within contact range (this sounds like a "duh" thing, but apparently a lot of people overlook this). These are designed to be accessed quickly from your centerline, with either hand. The reverse edges lends itself to a ripping arm motion. This means you can generate a lot more force and inflict a lot more damage when you're all tied up with some dude(s) trying to bash your skull in.

The egg shape of the handles is divine, and very comfortable. For $150 for both a live blade and a trainer, I don't see ANYTHING on the market that can come even close to it. Plus, for another $10 or so... you can have Ban Tang re-edge the live blade if you're not satisfied with the final Chinese edge.

Nice Ek Commando! I have a Blackjack Knives Ek Bowie. One of these days I'll get a real Ek. I still prefer Randalls. I have a #14 in O-1 and a #1-8" in O-1 on order(3 more years to go...their backlog is insane now).

MW: sounds cool, I'll be looking into that knife fa sho!
K-dub: Randall made's knives are sex personified in steel. The 14 has been on my list for about 7 yrs, bout time for me to pony up.
I'd love to see a pic of yours, bro

I ordered the set(live blade/trainer).

Still searching for my Randall #14. You know you have too many knives in a collection when you can't find a Randall. SMDH...

Here you go... Randall #14 circa 1998 vintage. When the prices & wait(less than 6 months for mine) were much better! LOL

Does anyone own the ATC LaGana VTAC 'Hawk? How do you like it?

My favorite knife in my collection is the Gerber/Benchmark Tac-II

I fell in love with it after seeing Big Trouble in Little China as a kid
