This takes me back to the French and Indian wars, when I was a Captain in the Regulars... our Mohawk scouts would carry a large single edged knife to go with their hatchets and would wield them quite proficiently.

Throughout the first 200 years of this nation's history, virtually no commercial production of knives existed, for a variety of political and economic reasons. Thus, almost all commercially made knives were imported. These imports were relatively expensive and, in some cases, too fragile for demanding frontier use. To meet the need for more long knives, local blacksmiths, gunsmiths, wheelwrights, and edged-tool makers took up the additional trade of making knives.
Their knives were of simple, straightforward designs that, while very crude in appearance, were totally utilitarian. The diversity of blades created by these local craftsmen was so great that it is difficult to categorize them by a specific set of names. For our use here, I call them small, medium, and long knives. The blade length of small knives was from 2 to 3 inches. Small knives were often referred to "patch knives" because of their use in cutting patches for the muzzleloading weapons of the time. Medium knives had 4- to 7-inch blades and were commonly thought of as "hunting knives." Some were carried in sheaths attached to the back of hunting pouches or in "possibles bags" and referred to as "bag knives." Blades for long knives were 7 to 12 inches in length, and these knives were sometimes referred to as "rifleman's knives." THE LOOK OF THE LONG KNIFE The long knife of the early riflemen was made heavier than most imported knives and daggers. Most came to a relatively sharp point that sometimes had the clip point of the large Bowie knives of the 19th century. Most had a very substantial crossguard with a bone or wooden handle. The long knife was a truly multifunctional blade, serving as both a tool and a weapon. |

Its hard to explain but the balance makes it worth it...it balances better than sub $150 hawks.
Balance point is at the front of the micarta. Add that to the strength and yes worth it. Even Ryans design like the orange Kangee in the picture same designer but made differently. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What are the two long handled ones? Equinox Coronado - no longer in production or available. It was a guy taking Cold Steel tomahawk heads and attaching them to homemade synthetic handles. He was doing well at that, but I think took on too much trying to create his own line of tomahawks. At the time of production, they were about $250 plus depending on options. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I didn't know I needed one The tomahawk does open you up to the possibility of someone shooting in and taking you down. The knife would pretty much eliminate that possibility. For that I think a smaller knife is better. |

Why I don't have a firearm instead is the question though. Firearms break, run out of ammo, etc. Sometimes a gun is not available (Could be a long list of reasons) And sometimes threads like this are for picture posting and funny thought processes of GD. |
