Pretty nifty!

It reminds me (oddly) of cutting a deck of cards one handed.

The ATAX, good blade, or bad blade?

Steven Dick - knife expert and friend of my friend Jerry VanCook - LOVES it.  Plus, it makes an awesome option for steel knuckles that really make certain your foe "gets the point."

That is a sweet looking tool.  I like the brass-knuckles idea as well.  Gives the pugilist a new edge.

I'm bumping this thread for a little help.  I don't want to use the word 'spear' in a peice I'm working on.  BUT, I need something metal that a group of blood thirsty kids could get easily and use to impale someone.  I don't like the word 'pipe' but am looking for something more along the lines of construction site detritus, just can't wrap my brain around the right word.

or actually, broken copper piping for air conditioning systems can be sharpened, and broken conduit (PVC) can be quite pointy.

Automobile antennas can be snapped off and used to slash or impale exposed flesh and eye sockets as well.

Common prison slang for a sharpened piece of metal is a 'shiv' or sometimes a 'shank'.

rebar.

That's what I was thinking of but didn't know the word!  IT has to be able to pass through the scapular region, and this is perfect.

Thanks so much.

I keep a two and a half foot piece of 1/2 inch rebar right inside the doorsill under the seat of my car, that way if anyone tries anything when i'm opening the door, they get rebar to the groin.

Back when I used to live in south minneapolis, and drove a hooptie Lincoln, I got that a lot.  There are many street thugs who played too much GTA and didn't spend enough time at the gun range, that now spend an amazing amount of time in rehab.

The piece I used eventually developed a bend to it, good for aerodynamics, but after that it just lacked punch.  Now I just tear their arms off.
