Buck Knives 110-9210 Folding Hunter Lock-Back Knife
The Buck Knives Hunter folding knife is a very simple pocket knife for everyday use and outdoor activities such as hunting. The single stainless steel blade measures out at 3 3/4 inches long, making it fitting for fans of medium-sized knives. The implementation of stainless steel allows the blade to last for years with everyday wear and tear and even rough conditions outdoors. The blade for this particular knife is a straight-edge which is great for common uses such as self-defense and everyday cutting purposes.
The handle is made up of a combination of wood and brass to make for a sleek design and a comfortable feeling while holding it.
For a point, we have the popular clip-point design. This allows for great precision and control as well as great slicing and piercing ability.
On the negative side, the handle is noted as being somewhat big and weighty, making it slightly annoying to carry around on an everyday basis and wield. The bulkiness and weight also make it a poor choice for a pocket knife, but the knife does come with its own sheath to make up for it.
Since the handle is made of brass and smoothed wood, it's also not very easy to grip. This could be a hindrance in self-defense situations, and it could be a safety issue when using the knife for rough cuts or prying.
The stainless steel blade is durable, but it will dull fairly quickly. This is especially true for people who wish to take advantage of the accuracy of the clip point for use in carving or anyone using the knife for hunting purposes.
The straight-edge blade will be useful for many purposes both in everyday occurrences and outdoor use, but the lack of a sawing ability makes it less useful ...

There really only seems to be one downside to this knife and that's the initial sharpness. These knives have a tendency to come out of the package terribly dull, which means they may need an immediate sharpening before using it or carrying it around. While regular sharpening isn't a complete surprise for stainless steel blades, a good knife should always be sharp right out of the package for instant use.
This issue is made even more problematic since the S30V steel used in the blade is fairly difficult to sharpen since it's made to be stronger and more durable than other types of stainless steel. However, this particular downside can be taken with a grain of salt since you are getting a stronger and tougher blade in exchange for some extra time and patience with a sharpener.

In the United States, there is a famous saying to justify gun ownership “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” It is true that the person with the gun is the one who is doing the killing but the gun makes it easier to have a massacre. However guns are useful for police, security, and military so they could protect themselves and everyone around them. Americans are not obsessed with guns; the American people are tired that their 2nd amendment rights are being violated. Police violate the citizen right to bare arm and will detain them. The sell of guns are being banned in some states, which makes it harder for citizen to own a gun. When someone chooses to carry a knife for protection the law will try to violate his or her right.
Everyone has had that time in their life where they feel that they would be safer if they had some sort of protection, concealed carry is a great option for protection. Over the years it has been growing in popularity, more and more people are going out and getting their concealed carry permit. With more and more people going out and getting their permit, some may view it as dangerous, while others feel it is a necessity. Concealed carry is essential because, it allows added protection, has certain restrictions that the person must meet, and if guns are handled properly they are not as dangerous
The Book “Fist Stick Knife Gun” by Geoffrey Canada is a biographical account of his childhood in the south Bronx. He and his 4 brothers were raised by only their mother. She would survive on no more than ten dollars a week. He moved several times as a child until finally landing on union avenue, the place were many of his life lessons were learned and at times applied. He learned about the ranking process of kids on union Ave. and how the only way to improve your status was to use your fists to fight your way up the chain. Looking back Geoffrey Canada notices the major shift in attitudes concerning the rules of the streets. What once was harmless fist fighting has now turned over to guns. His opinions can be seen in his title “Fist Stick Knife Gun”.
The term ‘athame’ is used by Pagans to refer to a traditionally black-handled knife. This knife is used in ritual and practice dealing directly with energy. This knife is not used for cutting material items. According to Gerald Gardner, the athame is one of the most important tools that a witch uses. The term, athame, is a corruption derivation of the Latin word artavus, which means ‘quill knife.’ One interesting etymology is told by John de Garlande, which he describes the word artavus as being a small knife which varies in length and named after ‘ars.’ This would associate it with arts and crafts used by artisans (Wikipedia).
Easy to conceal, maneuver, and requiring little skill to use. If you are seeking a non-lethal self-defense weapon, there are few better options than the expandable baton. It offers several advantages. Take, for instance, the control of distance. The baton is like an extended arm, which allows one to strike the assailant while being out of their range. You can target the hands, arms, or even the weapon.

... I have to do what is best for my family. Even though it is just a BB gun it is still a dangerous weapon to have, someone might get hurt, it is not a toy. The gun is just for protection and after services. I have also considered having my personal gun, and the reason for that is that travel by myself most of the time. I drive far way to go to school, so I am alone during those hours, there is no one to protect me. Another reason is whenever I go to the library from 6pm to midnight, the parking lots are empty. I need some type of protection if there are malicious people waiting for their next victim. It is a crucial decision to consider all the pros and cons when it comes to having weapons, either in the household or with you. This weapon should be use only when there are no other options, it is not for people to go and look for trouble in hopes they have to use it.
The high temperature application of Austenitic Stainless Steel is somewhat limited because at higher temperatures it undergoes a phenomenon called Sensitization. According to Ghosh et al. [1], it refers to the precipitation of carbides and nitrides at the grain boundaries. Precipitation of Chromium rich carbides (Cr23C6) and nitrides at the grain boundaries result when the Austenitic stainless steel is heated and held in the temperature range of 500-8500C (773K-1123K). This precipitation of carbides taking place at the grain boundary is because of their insolubility at these temperature ranges. This leads to Chromium depreciated regions around the grain boundaries. So the change in microstructure is takes place and the regions with low Chromium contents become susceptible to Intergranular Corrosion (IGC) and Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking (Alvarez et al.) [1, 2]. Along with carbides and nitrides there is formation of chi phase. The chi phase, which is a stable intermetallic compound, consists of Fe, Cr, and Mo of type M18C. Some studies reveal that sensitization may lead to formation of Martensite. In addition to the altered microstructure, mechanical properties of the Austenitic Stain...
ProCon.org Adults who go through training and obtain a permit should be able to carry a concealed handgun. “Their best defense against injury is to put no defense and give them what they want” (Kates). Critics may argue that concealed handguns are not an effective form of self-defense. To the contrary, robbery and assault victims who used a gun were less likely to be attacked or suffer injury, “Neither martial art skills nor chemical sprays provide a real option for victims faced by attackers who are stronger or armed” (Kates). People feel safer when they carry a concealed weapon because they feel that criminals will avoid attacking them.
Luckily, she had a conceal to carry and when she pulled her gun out, they fled.” (McCoy) If the woman had not had a gun in her possession, then the outcome could have been much worse. Luckily though, she held a concealed carry and she had a gun with her, which therefore made a life changing difference. Another case where having a concealed carry saved a life was one where an attacker broke into a woman’s home. The woman, who was getting out of the shower at the time, was met by the attacker who was holding a kitchen knife in his hands. The woman put up a fight, and fell back into the tub when she lost the struggle. She knew she had to do something, so she convinced the man that she had money in her bedroom. When going to retrieve the “money”, she grabbed a .22 caliber handgun and shot her attacker nine times. Police say the man ran out the door and collapsed, dying in her backyard. (Hawkins) Monica Jones, mother of three kids, heard the neighbor child screaming one Thursday. When she went to go see what the commotion was all about, she discovered a man who had ripped the child’s clothes off and had tried to rape her. Jones pointed a shotgun at the man and told him to stay or she would shoot him. (Hawkins) It is times like the ones above that make having a gun around a priceless opportunity. There are bad guys everywhere. Guns are like fire extinguishers.
If the blade did not hit the exact spot on the neck it would become as though it was an axe. It would hack away until the head came off. After all the chopping, the blade will often become dull. Throughout the revolution, the blade was changed, it became angled. The angling of the blade helps kill faster.
