The Great Hunting Knife
When i was a teenager i went camping every summer with my uncle and his boys. Those were some great times. We'd put the tent together and build the camp fire.
I remember using a hunting knife to cut branches down off the trees and carrying it for protection against wild animals like a wild fox, racoon etc. My uncle would have various knives with him for cuttin up bear meat, dear meat and squirl and after we'd eat it for dinner. "My opinon if you've never had bear meat, it tastes better then a steak at an outback or any steakhouse!"
When i would cut the branches down off the trees with my hunting knife, Id do it for 2 reasons, just for fun and to help keep the camp fire going! I would go camping in yates county alot of summers as a teenager, yates county is in south western new york state. At night in the summer time it got mighty chilly in them woods/forrest and was important to keep that camp fire goin.
My cousins and i would use a big tree for a target and we'd have a piece of chalk and we'd make a target on the tree to throw the knife and try to hit a bulls-eye, We used mainly hunting knives and antique pocket knives i believe as well, I don't ever recall getting a bulls-eye and my younger cousins didn't eather but with my uncle i remember him with his hunting knife he hit the target right in the center for a bulls-eye from like 25 feet away i was like damn..... and hes like yep thats right dude.
Hunting knives and other various knives like vintage-pocket-knives are awesome! Safety is very important though, once you know how to haddle a great knife then your ready to play the game.

Pro wrestlers tough as knives
Ive been a wrestling fan since i was a kid, every monday night i watch raw on the usa network. I know the wwe isnt for everybody but its more popular now then its ever been. My favorite wrestler of all time is stone cold steve austin, his nickname was the rattlesnake, the texas rattlesnake and was knowned in his era as the toughest son of a bitch in the wwe but for 3 quaters of his era it was called the wwf.
Back in the days when wwe was called the wwf they had this other wwf pro wrestler named ken shamrock, before shamrock came to the wwf he was the ulitmate fighting champion in the ufc, this was back in 1995 or 1996 or both. NBC the wwf was saying when he arrived in the spring of 1997 that he was the worlds most dangerous man! Shamrock wrestled in the wwf for alittle over 2 years, he started as a big fan favorite, then he became a bad guy and joined vince mcmahons corperation. In the storyline mcmahon {the owner of the wwe} was called mr mcmahon. There was this one time where mcmahon told ken shamrock that he wasn't the sharpest knife in the droor but the most dangerous. Shamrock in time became a fan favorite again and a couple months later wrestled againest Y2J in his last aperence before returning to the ufc as a trainer to my understanding.
Back in 1996 a pro wrestler named mick foley made his debut in the wwf as mankind. This guy was a hardcore legend. In june of 1998 he had a hell in the cell match with the undertaker and during the match mankind and the undertaker both climbed on top of the cell and undertaker got the upper hand and threw mankind off of the 16 foot cell threw the anounce table! I thought his career was over i didn't even know if he would ever walk again and im sure other wwe fans felt the same, but he got up and climbed back to the top of the cell again and this time undertaker chocked slam mankind threw the top of the cell and landed in the ring with a steel chair bouncing off mankinds face! I remember jim ross saying good god good god will somebody stop the dam match.. enoughs enough. But mankind got up again and kepted going after undertaker and had the upper hand, then mankind got out a bag of thumbtacts and dumped um in center of the ring. Undertaker ended up giving mankind a chokeslam on the tacts. Those tacts are like being stabed by knives that hadda be awful. Anyway undertaker gave mankind the tomestone piledriver and got the 1 2 3 and won the match. Mankind was also knowed as cactus jack and dude love in his other gimics in the sports entertainment storyline. Hes not only as tough as knives but is the toughest hardcore legend of all time not just in the wwe but in pro wrestling history in my opinon.

How to stay safe using a knife
Most people are fascinated with knives. A knife can be an excellent tool to use but you need to know how to properly use, pass and care for your knife to be safe with it. Best way to start is by making a cardboard knife and practicing with that. Then when you have learned all the rules that apply to knives, you will be ready to move to the real thing.
Some people, mostly young feel that it will be safer for them to carry a knife as it is the best way to be protected. The scariest thing about knives is just how dangerous they actually are. Its easy to think of using a knife like vintage-pocket-knives, antique pocket knives, or case brand pocket knives for defence only and that if you jab someone's arm or leg that it would be ok, the fact is that there is no safe place to assault another person with a knife or any dangerous weapon. You can bleed to death from a small wound in the wrong place.
You need to feel safe but there are better ways then aiming yourself with a deadly weapon like a knife, because you could see yourself spending time in jail or as a victim yourself, eather when someone takes your knife and stabs you, or you are targeted as part of a revenge attack.
Always remember, a knife is a tool, not a toy!!!!! And knifes like vintage-pocket-knives, antique pocket knives, remington-pocket-knives, buck-pocket-knives, case brand pocket knives, camillus pocket knives, queen steel pocket knives, engraved hunting knives, kabar hunting knives, cutgo knives, kershaw knives and more, are great tools to have whether your a handyman, a cowboy, a hunter, a camper, or a knife lover with or without collections.
If your knife is getting dull, have it sharpen to prevent yourself from getting an injury. To learn more about dull knives please feel free to checkout my other posts!
Once again a knife is a nice tool to have but never lose your focus when using it for your own safety and enjoy your tool!
Thanks for reading my post and i hope to have been a help for how to stay safe using a knife.
