Used to have a collection of mainly flick knives but they had been given to am by a cousin.

Am hate how people often say collecting knives are only for doing bad things,when they make a good collection,so much difference and feel in them.
Why do you write "am" instead of "I"? :huh:

The best way to get stabbed, fight unarmed against a guy with a knife.
I hope you're not one of those who believe that training unarmed combat will somehow give you mystical powers to defeat armed opponents?
In the real world, going against better armed opponents is a stupid tactic that is not worth risking your life on.
Unarmed combat is no more than a last, fall-back, emergency backup solution in case you lose all your weapons and are trying to find some other ones, and - while good to know in that situation - should never be a first choice.
In a fight between the grand master of aikido or whatever and a wimp with a knife, my money's on the wimp.

Knives: Either you get it, or you don't get it. And if you don't get it, you don't get it!

Jeeze... I am surprised others would like to at least see these knives, sometime I will try and sneak them out and take a pic for anybody intersted.

A knife wielding topic.

I never liked knives. Sharp things give me the creeps, Edward Scissorhands notwithstanding.

A silver cutlery collection would contain the only safe food cutters for me.

I'm with Aspie_chav on this one.
