Knives

when using a craft knife always slide the blade back in

There is no length limit in Indiana. There are no laws regarding swords either, except for the obvious don't hurt someone with them. Indiana is one of the most lenient states in terms of knife laws. There are viturally no laws regarding knives except to forbid knives on school grounds. Ballistic knives are still illegal, of course. But ballistic knives are considered illegally manufactured firearms rather than knives. Throwing stars are illegal as well.

Making a knife out of bone or rock is a primitive and time-consuming process, but it's a valuable skill for survival scenarios or for gaining insight into prehistoric tool-making techniques. Here are basic instructions for making a bone knife and a rock knife (also known as a flint or obsidian knife):

Bone Knife:

Materials Needed:

Bone - You can use a bone from an animal, such as a rib bone or leg bone.

Sharp-edged stone or another piece of bone for shaping and cutting.

Sandpaper or abrasive stone for smoothing.

Steps:

Select and Clean the Bone: Choose a suitable bone. Remove any remaining flesh and marrow from the bone by scraping it out with a sharp-edged stone.

Shape the Knife: Use a sharp-edged stone or another piece of bone to shape the bone into a knife. This involves chipping away at the bone to create a sharp edge. You can use a method similar to flintknapping (used for rock knives) but with more focused pressure, as bones are softer than rocks.

Sharpen the Edge: After you have a basic knife shape, use sandpaper or an abrasive stone to further sharpen and refine the edge. The sharper the edge, the more effective the knife will be.

Handle: Optionally, you can attach a handle to your bone knife. This can be done by carving a groove into one end of the bone and inserting a piece of wood or bone to create a handle.

Final Touches: Check the knife for sharpness and functionality. Make any necessary adjustments.

Rock (Flint/Obsidian) Knife:

Materials Needed:

Flint, obsidian, chert, or any other sharp-edged stone with conchoidal fracturing properties.

A support platform or a piece of wood for pressure flaking.

Antler, bone, or a harder stone for percussion flaking (optional).

Steps:

Select the Stone: Choose a suitable piece of flint, obsidian, chert, or similar material. It should have sharp edges and ideally be large enough to shape into a knife.

Prepare the Edge: Begin by striking the edge of the stone with a harder material, such as antler or another stone, to create a sharp edge. This is called percussion flaking. Strike the edge with controlled force to remove small flakes and create a serrated edge.

Pressure Flaking: After you've established the basic shape and edge with percussion flaking, switch to pressure flaking. Use a support platform or piece of wood to apply pressure to the edge of the stone, causing smaller flakes to come off and refine the edge. This step requires skill and practice.

Final Touches: Continue pressure flaking until you achieve the desired sharpness and shape for your knife. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this can break the stone.

Handle: Similar to the bone knife, you can attach a handle if desired. This can be done by securing the stone blade into a groove in a wooden or bone handle.

Please note that making knives from bone or stone requires skill, practice, and careful attention to safety. Safety glasses and gloves are recommended when working with these materials, as there is a risk of sharp fragments flying off during flintknapping. Always exercise caution and prioritize safety when attempting these techniques.

Well, Helter Skelter, for one. Zodiac for another. Films based on true crimes, like grisly murders and serial killers, are typically based loosely on real events and while they may contain legit facts about the case, most are embellished to make the story more engaging. For example, we've got the Texas Chainsaw Massacre which is very loosely based on the serial killer Ed Gein, but Gein never killed anyone with a chainsaw, and initially most of the corpses he dealt with had been dug up from graveyards, and not killed by him. He did however wear his victims hair as wigs, faces as masks, and made a lampshade or two with stretched human skin, like the main villain in the TCSM. Another, more recent film based on a true story is Wolf Creek, an Australian film released in 2005. It is based on the case of some missing travelers who ventured out to a remote area of Australia to check out a crater impact area, which has become a tourist attraction. They are abducted by a sadistic killer and two of the victims are never found. One thing we need to keep in mind is while the surviving character does return to tell his disturbing tale, some of the script has been completely fabricated because there is no way he could really know what the other two victims were dealing with while he was tied up in a separate location. I've probably missed a ton of films, but that should suffice. There are horror films based on events that really happened, however we can never assume that they depict the events as they actually ocurred.

In Vietnam the army issue knife was the M7 bayonet still in service with some countries today. The Marines carried, as they have since World War II, the Ka-Bar USMC combat knife. This knife is still carried by current serving Marines and is readily available to civillians. The Navy SEALs carried the SOG bowie knife which was developed for them at the time and in fact stands for 'Studies and Observations Group" which the SEALs were. These knives were the issue knives but individuals of course carried there preferred knives into combat also. Hope this answers your question..

The Night of the Long Knives occurred on June 29 1934.

During this night, Hitler had the SS murder between 100 and 200 SA (the 'brownshirt' paramilitary) leaders whom he thought might pose him a threat in the future. Those killed included Ernst Rohm, the leader of the SA, whom Hitler saw as competition.

During the Vietnam War, US Marine's were still authorized limited issues of Kabar fixed blade combat knives, originally issued during WWII. All US Marine & US Army Infantrymen (Grunts) were, in the beginning of the war, issued bayonets for their M-14 rifles, and M-16 rifles.

Unknown. Stone knives cut from flint have existed since before humans became a distinct species. Meaning well over a million years, at the minimum.

it depends upon your intention,if you intent to inflict injury to that person you are liable to the consequence of your act..

These are legal to carry until and unless you do some disaster like misusing it. It goes for almost all the knives because we purchase it but when we don't know either its functionality or consequences.

NO, as long as the blade is under 4 inches long

You must be at least 16 years old to purchase a knife in NH without accompaniment by a parent.

as long as it is not in your poket ad at your house it should be legal

Some states prohibit or severely restrict automatic knives or switchblades as deadly or prohibited weapons, occasionally inserting exceptions to enforcement for short-bladed knives, while others such as New Hampshire and Arizona have no restrictions on sale, ownership, or possession.

They have been banned in some locales. In others, it is only illegal if you are carrying it concealed, with an intent to harm, or if it is over a certain length. Check with your local police department. You can also get around the law by carrying a balisong trainer that has a bottle opener instead of a blade.

A switchblade is an automatic open knife. You only have to press a button and the blade deploys. These are illegal to own in many states and illegal to carry in public in others. A spring loaded knife is an assisted open blade. This means that you still have to apply some pressure to get it to open, either with a thub stud or with a flipper. These are legal in most places, depending on the length of the blade. There are various assisted opening mechanisms and spring loaded is one of them. Others include ones operated by torsion bars like Ken Onion SpeedSafe, which is used in Kershaw and Zero Tolerance knives

any pocket knife with a blade under 4". This excludes switch blades, gravity knives and double edged. You may purchase knives that fall into this category at the age of 16, with proper photo identification.

Because you use your knife to cut, and your fork to keep your steak from sliding of your plate. It's simply harder to cut your food with your left hand. so you take the fork in the left hand, the knife in the right.

That's the reason, why the fork goes left and the knife goes right from the plate.

The laws in Illinois regarding carrying knives are a little confusing and vague, but generally you're permitted to carry a knife with a blade up to 3" without any hassle. Having a knife in your possession while committing a crime, whether or not the knife is being used in the crime, will be grounds for a charge of carrying a dangerous weapon to be added on to the charges related to the crime itself.

Within the city of Chicago, and perhaps other cities, the blade length limit is 2.5" rather than 3".

Switchblades of any kind, defined as being able to be opened without touching the blade by means of a button or release on the handle, are illegal in most states, including Illinois.

(720 ILCS 5/24-1,2 States that there is NO limit to a 3" blade length, but rather knives that are either switchblade or ballistic (propelled blade) in possession commits the offense of unlawful use of a weapon. A knife blade that is thrust open by thumb on the blade itself and not on the handle is not in this category and is therefore able to be longer than 3") 720 ILCS 5/Article 33A states that "Armed with a dangerous weapon" means that you are carrying a knife with a blade longer than 3". This in itself is not a crime, but you commit armed violence only when committing a felony with this weapon.

Your probation papers should spell out any weapons provision quite clearly. If it says that you may not possess a weapon. then a pocket knife would fall into that category and you would be wise to not carry one. What you REALLY should be doing is contacting your PO and asking THEM.

One uses the fork, in the right hand (even though it is placed to the left of the dinner plate) (even if you are left handed--in the U.S.) to gently spear the food, although with peas and tiny rolling items you use the fork to collect them and gently guide them to your mouth. One never touches the teeth to the fork. The knife is supposedly used to cut food into bite sized pieces. But we all have had difficulty trying to cut meat with a dinner knife. It is in good manners to ask a server for a "sharp knife" or a "meat knife" or a "steak knife" when in a restaurant. One does NOT ask for a cutlery exchange in the home of a person to whom one is not related. Most especially not one's mother-in-law. When faced with a dull knife, one can only put some elbow grease into the act of cutting, which is supposed to appear effortless--but starving is frowned upon. Another answer is "gently." One uses all cutlery gently. If presented with a piece of cutlery one does not know how to use, one keeps his/her eye on the hostess to see what he or she should do.

simple, put knife in back side of u. it is convenient and easy to put it out

They are legal to an extent. Some city ordinances and county laws restrict them. Some require them to be under 3 inches while Michigan itself does not have a limit on the blades length. Double edged knives are considered a deadly weapon and cannot be carried.

no it is not

You can buy them freely from dealers if you are active duty military or law enforcement. There is also a provision for people with only one arm.

California Penal Code(PC) 653K defines legal and illegal knives. Illegals ones are switchblades, ballisongs(butterfly knives), dirks and daggers. As mentionedabove, unless you are active duty military or LEO, it is illegal to buy, sell, mail those knives.

PC 12020 defines what is legal to carry with you.

However, switchblades and ballisongs under 2.5" length are not illegal.

Assisted opening knives are not switchblades and therefore are not illegal in terms of CA knife carry law, however local towns and cities may have more restrictive laws compared to CA and can ban them.
