Ever since the first hominid decided to pick up a rock and toss it at another life form, the technological leap provided by weaponry has shaped evolution and is inseparable from humanity.

And they're simply neat!

This is the place to discuss anything related to weapons and weapon accessories.

Fuck yeah, I'd definitely get a fun if I didn't live in a gay country

Recent purchase. CZ Shadow 2 Carry...for carry purposes. Imagine that :P

Shot it a few times at ranges as a rental before pulling the trigger (heh) and buying one myself. Waiting on a holster from Henry's Holsters and the Holosun EPS Carry red dot to come in.

A pointy stick has been the cornerstone of world militaries for thousands of years before the technology advanced to make a pointy stick go flying at sufficient velocities readily available to the masses (crossbows).

I work in the trades and I got picrel because I got tired of having to sharpening another folding pocket knife all the time. I'll be honest, the blade length reduction makes me feel more unsafe but at least I don't have to resharpen anymore and I got a pretty nifty pocket screwdriver to boot.

My current goal is finding some kind of magic utility blade that lasts a really long time but doesn't snap when subjected to sheering forces so it can function better in self defense.

How is it build wise? I've seen them in catalogs but never had a reason to buy one myself.
The French paratrooper knife and the Bivouac are very nifty pieces of kit. You should look into them

Survives drops pretty well and the screwdriver portion seems to withstand high torque folded at 45 degrees. The part that hold the blade could be more chunky so I'd only recommend slashing in self defense, stabbing seems risky with this thing. Also for around $20 it's pretty competitive value-wise IMHO.

Major problem is only about 1 inch of blade is exposed so I wouldn't trust it to save you from someone on drugs, just mostly scare off sane attackers that would rather not risk having to get stiches.

I've looked into other multi-tool knives like that frech paratrooper knife but I just hate sharpening knives too much I guess. If they ever make a utility blade with one of those fancy powdered carbide tool steels I'd definitely be tempted to get that as the main fear is that the blade could snap off if it snags on something hard.

A good whetstone pays itself off
There are sharpening kits that come with a stand that lets you set the right angle to properly sharpen a knife based on blade profile and makes sharpening effortless
They're around $80 starting out
