tommarker Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 not to be overcritical, but the knives on those late-night shows are usually thought to of low quality. A lot of the time, their folding knives are direct ripoffs of copyrighted designs made by Spyderco, Cold Steel, Benchmade, Emerson, etc. http://www.spyderco.com/ makes some of my very favorite knives. If you ever get a chance, go to a knife show (gun and knife shows usually aren't that good) and see some of the custom work done by local and regional makers. There are excellent things to find there, and the makers are usually more than willing to talk about knives, etc. I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
JerryLove Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 Most of Spyderco's designs for the first several years were designed by a Silat Practitioner named Steve Gartin. The man is quite impressive using them as well https://www.clearsilat.com
SBN Doug Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 We start with the 10" Hibbens. After that, we are encouraged to try all other manner of throwing knives and daggers. It is not a mandatory part of our curriculum, however. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.
