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.
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...

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.

The Frontiersman is crafted from 420HC (high carbon) stainless steel that is a higher hardness than regular 420 stainless steel. This material retains edge shape and sharpness longer than other materials, so it’s ideal for a hunting knife. Buck Knives uses this material extensively for its premium knives for corrosion resistance, strength, and edge retention.
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).
Individuals carrying weapons makes the world a more dangerous place and can lead to a crime rate explosion. If a person is carrying a gun, weather it’s on their person or in their vehicle they are more likely to use it. Humans will think because they have a gun they are more powerful then the person standing next to them and they can get away with anything. However these few statistics could be true, it is over a very wide range of time. In the United States currently 11.1 million people have a concealed carry permit. In the year 2013 a survey went around the nation to 15,000 retired police officers and 91% of them said they felt safer in public having a concealed carry permit and saw a decrease in crime in their area. The states that issued the “shall-issue” concealed carry laws saw a decrease in murders by 8%, rapes 5% and robberies by 3% according to 2000 FBI crime data. There are critics all over the world
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.

...easure twice - cut once". If you follow this rule you will not waste your time and materials. Also it shows you are being careful and aware of what you are doing. When swinging your hammer "it's all in the wrist". People will tend to swing their hammer with their forearm or their whole arm. Good, experienced carpenters let their wrist do the swinging and their hammer do the work. Keep a sharp blade in your utility knife. Trying to cut with a dull blade isn't smart because you have to do twice the work. Also, before you walk away from it always check your work and make sure it is how it is supposed to be.
