I happened to catch a article on knives in one of the new gun rags, either Handgunner, or Petersens's Handguns, I don't remember. It was their May/June issue.
The title of the piece was 'Let's talk about tactical knives--calmly!' Further in the article, they discussed various styles of knives, and when they got to tactical fighting knives, they prefaced their comments with "this is a touchy subject."
This is something I've noticed on knife forums, the guys just can't debate an issue before it degrades into flaming. Some members attend these boards just to flame, and any criticism of one of their 'fighting gurus' is branded heresy.
Why in this sport? Yikes, I've been debating Ford vs. Chevy, .45 vs 9mm and revolver vs. automatic for decades and I have not received half of the flak. Something about knives really stirs the blood.
So much so, that I've dropped a few knife forums, let them fight among themselves. I just don't understand all of the vitriol.
