I bought it on EvilBay, but the seller called it a Starlight Bowie one-off. Ted currently offers something called the Mini Starlight, but it isn't this model. Oddly enough, the seller was a relative of Ted.
For movie knives for this kinda thing I'll take Tom Brown Jrs Tracker. As seen in The Hunted. Any other time give me my Ka-Bar and Applegate Fairbain combo I carry to war.Once I even found some people who feared them more than my M16A2.
The knife is only as mean and nasty as the person wielding it.I personally like the Dozier Freedom Fighter for a fixed and my Emerson CQC10,CQC7 Waved Folders for quick deployment.For a smooth and relaxed deployment I love my Lg. Sebenza.
The King of the Choppers. 20 inches overall, about 9/16" thick at the spine and 3 or 4 pounds depending on the kamis who made the knife. Unless you are physically fit and have serious chopping to get done, opt for something smaller
Randall Model 14 "Attack". I have had a lot of knives. This is the best ever. Still, I think I'd go for my "Swiss Army 870 12ga" rather than any knife. Bright lights and loud noises!!!
So you are the owner of that AMAZING espada y daga set from Dervish?
WOW!
Do they handle as well as I'd hope?
I've been admiring that set for a good long while.
Congrats!
Oh for my choice...big (12" blade) kukris my dad brought back from Nepal are what I have on hand. A Graham Bros. Entry Razel or a big Busse Fusion Battle Mistress would certainly do the trick.
How do you like your SAR knives?
With San Antonio's bizarre and irrational laws regarding folding knives, I've been thinking about a mid-sized Hornet for EDC.
(in fact it may have even been the tanto I was looking at)
Good. Now I want to see you write it one hundred more times and then don't do it again!
As far as mean'n'scary goes, I've yet to find much of an equal for my old and ragged Ontario Knife sawback machete. It's big, it's an identifiable shape, it's got a mean looking jagged side, and mine is all worn down so half of it is still mottled with the original phosphate finish and the rest is bare steel. Jason would be proud, I'm sure.
That would be me. I lucked into them after the original owner decided to sell them. I also picked up a matching Bushi tanto in the same style. I later ordered a single-guard Ishtar from John, again with the same style:
I don't have a picture with all four because it is difficult to fit the sword in with the others. They are very lively, but I sometimes worry about the lack of a guard. I value my fingers too much to get reckless.
SAR's are excellent knives, feel great in hand and Spencer's a great guy to deal with. Would not hesitate recommending his work, very well made and excellent value for a handmade knife!
Meanest knife would be a Bowie style (top edge sharpened) like the Randall Model 1, or that nasty longer Bowie they build - pure fighters. Machetes seem more a sword, by defintion, like the Roman short, which changed history.
So, I vote for custom fighting knifes with laser sights and auto-sharpeners, and to #$*@ with the Romans and Randall. Talk about history - it take five years to get a Randall; you may be history before it arrives.
