Knives
Knives are one of the most versatile tools of all times. They are used everyday in the kitchen for chopping up chicken and for fine detailing small fruits. Campers use them to cut rope and clean fish. Most soldiers and rescue personnel would not be caught without one. Some knives are kept just for the collector's value.

What is the best way to sharpen a knife video?
When using a Steel, it can take practice to become quick & efficient. Always remember: point the Steel toward the floor and strike the knife DOWN it, away from your body with the cutting face pointing upward. If the knife then hits any body parts on the downstroke it will not cut. Alternate from one side of the blade to the other on every other stroke, drawing the length of the blade diagonally across the Steel. Use both "sides" of the Steel... first draw the knife down & across one side, then cross the Steel with it and draw it down the other. As your hands and mind get used to the action it will progressively become quicker and more instinctive. Soon your hands will be moving at light-speed and you won't even know it. Resist the temptation to speed up before you're used to the motions... that's the best way to loose a finger or even an arm!
Using a strop is very similar to using a Steel.
The strop is often attached to the belt or to a solid object at one end and held in the hand at the other. Again, draw the knife backward (Blunt edge to lead) and diagonally across the strop, turning it over with each movement (much like you might paint a fence with a brush).
There are many different kinds of Whetstone but for the purposes of this answer, only two need to be described... the wheel and the flat stone. Both do the same job but the wheel arguably does it far quicker. This is the same as most modern knife sharpeners. Electric grinding wheels should always be used with great care. Respect them... they're highly dangerous when used incorrectly.
The flat stone should be used slowly and methodically. The knife can be applied to the stone or the stone to the knife, whichever you find easiest & most comfortable. Use lubricating oil (cutting fluid or similar) or water / spit where no oil is available. This prevents the knife blade from snagging on the stone and potentially fracturing. It also helps to create a smoother finish to the blade. In using a flat stone, patience is of the essence. This cannot be rushed and may take some considerable time, especially if the blade is very dull.
An archaic but practical method:Alternatively, to sharpen a blade, one can use a stone from the ground. Certain types of stone work better than others. For example, Flint is an extremely hard type of stone and, used correctly, can sharpen a knife as precisely as any modern knife-sharpening device or tool.Sharpening a blade with a piece of flint requires the upmost patience and persistance. Firstly, the flint should be shaped to provide as smooth a face as possible on one side. Additionally, it should be comfortable to handle, as you will be holding it for some time and excerpting moderate pressure upon it.
To shape a piece of flint, you can use another hard stone. Flint is much like wood in that it tends to break where it wants to, rather than where you want it to. Fortunately, however, this usually means a nice clean split with very few, if any rough surfaces. To create the "cutting" and "handling" surfaces, strike the sharpening stone with your other hard stone. Learning how to produce the right split may take time to master, so be patient and have plenty of Flint to hand. When you're finished, you should be left with a palm-sized stone that feels comfortable and secure in your grip. On the face pointing upward from your palm, the stone should be as flat and smooth as possible.
If there are any rough edges, you can wear them down by rubbing them against another stone. For this, softer stones such as limestone are more preferable as they're less likely to cause the sharpening stone to split or fracture. You can add water, or spit in order to create a smoother edge or face.
To sharpen your blade, take your Flint and, gripping it firmly (but not oppressively), slide it along the length of the knife's cutting edge, excerpting firm, even pressure. The knife should be held pointing away from the body and the cutting edge should press as close to flat against the stone as possible. The flatter against the stone it is, the finer the taper of the blade will be. Conversely, to "dull down" a blade that is too sharp (yes, there IS such a thing!), orient the stone to intersect the blade at a sharper angle. If this makes the stone uncomfortable to hold, cut a second one.
Again, in sharpening the knife, water or spit can be used to create a smoother finish. Keep repeating the action and clean both the stone and the blade every few minutes so as to minimise scoring. Do not be tempted to speed up the process by "scrubbing" the stone up & down the blade... this will only serve to dull the blade and destroy the face of the stone. Instead, your action should be a single outward stroke from the body, toward the point of the knife. When you reach the tip with the stone, take it out of contact with the blade and repeat the action continuously until the blade is sharp to satisfaction.
If the blade is of good quality material and you're doing things right, it will ring in an audibly pleasing fashion when it is sharp & smooth.
A dagger is a short weapon that is made specifically for stabbing while a more specific designation would be a double edged knife that is isometric in related to its axis. The origin of the term "dagger" comes from the Celtic word "dag" which basically means "a point".
What is the Value of a Robeson 522482 knife?
The value of a Robeson Shuredge Dogleg trapper pocket knife with the model number 522482 may be worth as much as $70.00. This value depends on the condition of the knife.
What is the best knife in the world-the kind of knife that you would use in battle?
All blades have a personality of their own. The K-Bar and the British Commando knife are the two most recognised standard issue weapons in recent history and each have their advocates.
However, the single best knife in the world is the one that is used by an agile and adept expert. Personal preferences abound including the modified Randall Number One, the heavily reshaped and refinished Puma and the very excellent, and easily modified and refined Military Issue meat Cleaver.
What best knife?If you go to an infantry company of 250 men, you'll probably find 80 different knives attached to their load-bearing equipment.The thing about Gerbers (which are excellent knives, don't get me wrong) is they're sold in all Clothing Sales Stores, so they're easier to get than many other brands.
Most guys carry either one or two knives into the woods. The first one is something like a Leatherman tool--people used to carry Swiss Army knives, but the pliers in the Leatherman come in REAL handy when you're trying to fix a broken generator at 0300. If you're going to carry a second knife, something like the Gerber LMF II, or another ka-bar style blade, is fine. Very few units issue knives anymore--they'd rather spend their unit funds on things like bedsheets or five-gallon water cans.
- M40's Two Cent Addendum... What is the best knife?Ahhh... a question I've struggled to answer all my life. I even bought a forge, grinders, buffers, etc. I make many of my own blades and consider myself a decent bladesmith. I thought I was doing quite well until I came across the Busse Combat line of blades. I know of no other blade for ANY amount of money that will stand up to the kind of hard use and abuse that a Busse blade will. A Busse blade will shrug off abuse that leaves other blades in pieces.A close second is either Scrap Yard Knife Co... or Swamp Rat Knife Co. Both of these are approximately half the price of a Busse, but will withstand almost as much abuse. These folks happen to be related and share some trade secrets... secrets I'd love to know!
What kind of abuse am I speaking of? Well, all three of the companies mentioned above test their blades by chopping through cinder blocks with no breaking, no cracking, and no damage that can't be undone by a few minutes of sharpening. Their blades are bend tested to 45 degrees and beyond with no damage, and will spring back to true. I've been beating up blades by all three companies for a few years now, and I enjoy owning blades I don't have to baby.
As someone who's spent a lifetime subjecting blades to extreme hard use, I can confidently say that these are the best I've ever come across by a wide margin.

A tactical knife. I'm pretty sure the military uses the Ka Bar fighting knife. If your looking to buy a tactical knife, just Google it, or go to this site: http://www.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/index/specops.HTML
There was a trench knife issued to US Army troops that was a knife that had a "Brass Knuckles" handle. Brass Knuckles is a brass "ring" that you slip over your hand, each finger going into a loop. This is used for hand-to-hand fighting. The knife had this same construction as part of the handle/grip. I'm not sure if this was an official Army issue. The Army preferred the soldier carry a bayonet that would fit onto the rifle. This brass knuckle trench knife couldnot do this.

What year was the NFL FOOTBALL SWISS ARMY VICTORINOX KNIFE series issued?
I bought some for groomsman's presents in 1996
The football team classics were first made between 1992-1995 depending on the team. Baseball classics started in 1993-1998 depending on the team. Some teams had a second order made because of high demand and new style logos were introduced onto the second orders. Not every team made second orders since some teams did not produce much demand. NHL classics were produced in 1998 and are the hardest ones to find.
When was Remington knives made in solligen Germany?
Remington introduced a "Wildlife" series of canoe pattern issues in 1996. The series ran for ten years. The 1996 "Elk" and their 1997 "Rams" issues were made in Germany and featured full coverage, blade etching with muted colors on each of these two issues. The handles were of genuine stag with a '"Remington" shield. In addition to the regular tang stamps, one noted "Made in Germany".The best information available is that Boker was the maker of these first two issues of the series. Subsequent issues, Moose, Bear, Cougar, Canada Geese etc. were done by Camillus Cutlery of Camillus, New York. The first, the "Elk" was limited to 1,000 serialized units and commands prices in the $375 to $500 range. Remington increased the production of the second issue, the " "Rams" to 1,500 serialied units which resulted in a reduced value range of $125 - $150. Subsequent Camillus issues command lower prices mostly below the $100 level. The third issue, the "Moose", in addition to the regular 1,500 serialized units was accompanied by an additional 100 knives with a special serial range of RS-1 to RS-100. Many collectors are not acquainted with this special extra run and they command a premium of at least $100. I believe these had been planned to be a special project for the Remington Society of America but the program never came to fruition. The special run was closed out through a single Remington wholesaler. Need further information on these and others? Jack Bares - 800-622-5120

Can you use a regular knife sharpener to sharpen a dull machete if you have no access to a grinder?
It depends on what you call a regular knife sharpener. If you do not have access to an electric grinder, the next best tool (maybe even better, just a little slower)would be a metal file. Lay the blade on a table or flat surface with the handle hanging off the edge with the sharpened side toward you. A C-Clamp or the equivilent will make the job much easier. Using the flat side of the file begin to push the file across the sharpened area of the blade at an angle of about 20 degrees. Continue until you have filed the blade edge smooth and sharp. Then turn the blade over and move to the other end of the table and sharpen the other side. With a good file you can put a nice edge on the machete. Good Luck, DrDave

What did Elizabethans actors use to recreate the effect of someone being stabbed?
Disgusting as it may seem, they used real blood in a bladder disguised under the costume. When the actor was stabbed, real blood poured out onto the stage. Since London was full of slaughterhouses ("shambles" was their word for them), these ingredients were easy to come by. The people responsible for cleaning the stage and costumes couldn't have been happy about it though.
What kind of knife tony dinozzo have?
In the episode Flesh and Blood (S07E12) both Dinozzo and Gibbs carry the Zero Tolerance 300 series. I don't know the codes for folder colors and blade designs. Although, it seems that Gibbs has the ZT 302 (also shown in "Enemies Domestic" S08E09) and gives it to Director Vance when he believes the director is in danger. Hope it helps
sell them on ebay. give them to a kid. or just throw them away if they are broken.
A trench knife is a specialized knife made specifically for the close quarter combat on World War 1. Most of the fighting took place in narrow trenches or on "no mans land" a trench knife, which consisted of a brass knuckle with a long blade permanently affixed to it was a handy weapon to have. The trench knife doubles as a brass knuckle and a knife; with the knife securly attached to the user's hand, the enemy could not easily take the knife from the user. In trench warfare where firing a gun while in the trench could accidentally harm a fellow soldier who happens to be behind an enemy, a knife or bayonet was a safer means to eliminate an enemy.
Does Gerber make knives as well as baby food?
Gerber knives are made by a separate company from the baby food company and have no connection outside of a common name. Good question though.
