Knives: The Second Coolest Things on Earth
LONDONDERRY - Unfortunately humans have not evolved (yet) with any cool natural defenses (see Jaguar). We are pretty good tool makers though. And knives are the coolest tools we have made (yet). Here are five knives everyone should own:
Swiss Army Knife: Classic. I have about a dozen knock-offs - keep them in my backpacks and tackle boxes - used to keep one on my key chain. Nothing beats the real thing though.
Multi-Tool: I know this choice will create a lot of controversy among my fellow knife aficionados pictured on the left of this site, but I believe it deserves a separate listing. The SUV to the Swiss Army Knife's sports car, each have their own applications. I keep mine in my glove box.
Fixed-Blade: A bit more practical than the forthcoming KA-BAR. There's just something about a fixed-blade.
Folders: My favorite category of knives. I have three - a classic Buck folder, an ultra-modern stainless w/ a rubber handle and an awesome black on black number. These are easy to carry in one's pocket - I always wear one when I'm fishing, camping or hunting.
KA-BAR: I probably don't need this knife (and probably shouldn't own it), but it is so COOOOOOOOOOL!

I remember for years (grade school) I wanted the Rambo knife that had a "direction finder" in the handle and the end screwed off to reveal a compartment for your matches, cigarettes, THC or any other slim outdoor necessity.
I recently bought a Winchester set complete with Multi-Tool and Folder. I only paid $10 for the 5-piece set and am glad I can scatter my first generation of knife owning booty throughout my car, room, and toolbox.
Knives are indeed an important human accomplishment.
Mij/beatbox, if you could own any knife on the face of the earth, which would it be?
Where is the VAGINA on the list of "coolest things on earth?"
Honestly right now it would be the KA-BAR. Unless there's a Brewers knife out there I don't know about.
Stop objectifying women dude - Jaguars are #1! Please note the irony in my above statement as I choose a picture of a woman with no head for this post. Zing!
Oh yeah, I forgot to mentio - OH FUCK I CUT MYSELF!!!
Yeah man, the picture to chose for this article is a bit disturbing: Women with no head, red background.
It works.
