Knife of the Week #1

I’ve decided to (hopefully) post a different knife at the beginning of each week
This one here is called a Swedish Barrel Knife. This is a small version of the standard ones, which are usually about 4” when closed.



As you can see mine is about 1” long.
They can range to many sizes, I have even heard of one that is around a foot long, but I have not seen it, so please don’t go by this.


The knife is folded inside of the barrel, which makes it a compact knife.
When you pull it out of the barrel, you fold it out like so (see above picture).




You then slide it back into the barrel, making it easier to handle.


I like to wear mine around my neck on a leather string.
I would have to say that this is my favorite of all my knives, because it has my heritage in it. I got this from my Papa on my 14th birthday, and from that day I have always had it on.

Cool knife

Cool! I love knives.
I have a small dragon push-dagger that is really cool, but you can't actually USE it because... it's not sharp at all!! :)
But I do have a bow and arrows.
I want a real, useable fantasy knife.

OK, now I hve to look up a 'Dragon push dagger. That sounds really cool.

One time some of my friends and I put all our knives together and then one of us judged them.
The Swedish Barrel knife won, I was so proud =P

I think that that knife will have to be one of the knives of the week soon.
I wish that I lived closer to you, then I could see it in person. =D
