Nope! You do what you have to do but so many knives are promoted as being designed for or being good for sentry elimination that you'd think it's common place and done on a frequent basis. You could just give me an old Sykes Fairbairn. It has a nice sharp blade and tip and goes in quick and easy. It would cut like butter for this purpose compared to the knife above.

Attachment 19466


PS I did know a couple of people who used an E-tool to get the job done though.

I've always felt that if you have to pull out a knife to fight you've done SOMETHING wrong.

During my last deployment I bought one of DJ Urbanovsky's titanium sporks they have a nasty pointed end and I actually kept it on my kit everywhere I went and was determined to be the first person to kill a man with a SPORK!! DIdnt get that chance unfortunately:mad: I am quite sure though that if you are a terrorist and are killed with a spork you are DQ'd from getting any virgins and you are just called a pussy and reincarnated as pig that is butchered and sent to Taco Bell and then eaten with a spork and the cycle continues.... Possibly the same thing will happen if you spend 750 on that Yarborough knock off.;)

Titanium spork? I got one of those to "be cool & light". Took it to the woods one time - now it sits at home all lonely.

Out in the woods there is nothing really I need a fork for - and anything I need a spoon for the juice dribbles out.

So I'm back to an MRE spoon stuck in my shirt pocket.

Not since they started issuing take-down bows, push daggers and headscarves, no.

North Tay Ninh Prov, RVN, 1970.. while sitting down for a brake, a large constructor type Mr No-Shoulders attempted to penetrate our defense, I executed a compact left roll PLF, whipped out me trusty Peinilla de la Pendejo (machete), severing the offending head,, resulting was fresh meat for supper..


Does that count??? :cool:

Which goes with my statement that you don't play pokey pokey stabby stabby with guys that have guns, or fangs.

Imagine you are sitting out in the jungle at night, a little "scared", and out of the corner of your eye you sinse movement. Can cause an attitude that someone may not be prepared for.

Shoot them with suppressed pistol, or whack their head off. :munchin :D

I kilt a man once while in the ORP with my P-38. Sum-na-bitch tried to steal my gorilla cookies and a John Wayne bar I saved from my C-rats. I don't care who you are in the world, out here I'll bleed you real slow and quite like you try and steal my poggie bait.

a kill with a spork would mean serious cool points.

sporks
 
I am still trying to visualize you sporking somebody.

can't quite wrap my mind about how that one would or wouldn't turn out.

maybe a cage match over canned peaches?

ZonieDiver 07-09-2011 20:12

Or pound cake! Mmmmmm, pound cake AND peaches...

Trading material!!!! :D

Richard 07-09-2011 21:08

Cigarettes were trading material - take my 3 cigs ration and I'll gladly take your John Wayne cookies, Kern's peanut butter and crackers, pound cake, peaches, pears, apple sauce, etc.

Richard :munchin

So true! After the 4th or 5th day in the field, the fact that I didn't smoke - coupled with the fact that I actually liked "Ham and Claymores" - guaranteed that I'd eat like a king.
