The Triple Threat
I have stocked some mean, wicked knives over the years, and this one is right up there with the best–or worst. So much so, I would hope that anyone ordering it is a collector of cutlerous exotica, and is not thinking seriously of ever using it as a weapon. The outward side of the knuckle guard is not only serrated, but also rather sharp. With neither blade deployed, the little thingies that flip out the blades extend so far out that a temple strike would drive them well into someone’s skull. With both saw-toothed blades deployed, the thing looks scary as hell.
Mercifully, the knuckle guard part is on the small side–a hair over 3 inches wide–, so folks with big hands will have a problem getting their fingers into it. As far as legality goes, I assume the knife is not a bust–it has only been on the market a few months. Probably, as soon as some felon uses one to send a police officer to that great donut shop in the sky–make no mistake about it, these things are lethal weapons–they will be banned. MSR, unknown. I priced them at $39 at my stand, and a biker said that was reasonable, but his buddy was short, so I let my first one go for $29, so that’s the price, plus $3 shipping and handling (insured priority mail). Specify silver or black. With both blades deployed, it measures 9 3/8 inches, tip to tip.
NOTE–The above was supposed to go in my knife catalog, but it looks like that is not going to happen. To order, please email me at greyfox@auway.org.

my husband likes knives..do you have a picture?
n/m…I see your knife catalog link
SuSu found me somehow and then I found her links to these other sites. It sounds like some cool stuff you sell. I’ve been into stones since I was a wee kid. I like knives, too. I don’t but many unless it is the cheapos. My she cousin has worked for Bud K since it was just her and the owner.
That was indeed an angel with the 20 spot. I’ve had some strange circumstances, some in dangerous situations, that I know angels have helped me out of. They looked human but I know better!
I’ll check out the catalogue. Stop by and visit when you get the chance!
