       Knives

       I'm on my way out the door to a Halloween party, so I'll make this
       quick. Knives are awesome. They are tools first, weapons second,
       and infinitely useful. I'm a Mora Classic #1 and #2 kind of guy.
       I have some Baretta tactical knives thate are pure beauty and
       a karambit that is sex in sickle form, but the work horse knife
       for me is the Mora. It runs about $12 retail in the US, and if
       well cared for it's multi-generational. The steel is excellent,
       the handle is sturdy. Great stuff.
       
       I'm disappointed in knife limiting laws. I don't see much of
       a parallel with gun control there. Gun's are instruments of death.
       Knives CAN be, but it is not a primary purpose. It's the same with
       an axe, or a hammer, for that matter. I like useful things, and
       sometimes those useful things are also beautiful. Knives... mmm.
