TriggerT Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I noticed an add for a new knife company called "Dark-Ops Knives" which looks to have been started by a former SEAL. The knives are mostly fixed blade, and made for the people who REALLY need those types of tools, unlike most of us. What I really like on their website was one of the lines they use when decribing their blades: "Strategically placed blood grooves control blood spray in covert deanimation activities." While a little sugar coated, it is interesting language to describe what their blades are REALLY designed for. Gave me a laugh anyway, but some say I'm sick in the head.

jhgtyre Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 The knives may be fine, or not, but either way the site is sooooo Tactabilly/Wannabe that it made me chuckle. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of these knives will be sold to "Wanna Be's" who will probably cut themselves more than anything else. There are a small # though who might want a blade such as this. Guy I shoot with might be going over to Afghanistan for 6 weeks; he would qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Grube Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Gee what a shock a company selling "new" Hi tech knives/whatever started by a former SEAL/SF/Delta. Sure are a lot of Spec ops guys making and selling shit these days. I guess I should retire that old outdated K-bar that has only been around for about 90 years right along with my 1911 and buy some new geewhiz hi-tech modern stuff because it kills so much better because I bought it from a SEAL. Gimme a F'ing break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 For years I was good friends with the owner of a holster company who did work for SEAL Team Six. He described for me a conversation he had with the guy who was, at the time, honest-to-God, no possibility of BS, the leader of SEAL Team Six, on the subject of the knives you see in magazines: "Made for use by SEALs!" The team leader said bluntly, "Glock knives. That's what we use. You occasionally see a guy with a really fancy, handmade knife, but for most of us, we just want something we can use and abuse, and then throw away and grab another one."

Wakal Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Liota and I used to shoot with SEAL-1 fairly regularly. I considered them adequate, at best, with handguns. Pretty salty (so to speak) with subguns, though. But I digress. Back in The Nam, to be an operator one had to have a P35, Rolex, and a Randall. I thought that now one had to have a SOCOM, Omega, and a Emerson...but I was wrong. We found that most of 'em wore POS Casio watches and the 12-for-$20 Chinese knock-off craptacular folding knives. When questioned, they said that when you drop a $475 Ernie Emerson in the drink, you felt obligated to go in after it. When you dropped a $2 folder, hey, it is gone. That doesn't stop me from hanging a Reeve Project I off my web gear, but I don't work around water Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
