    Oh, I thought this was a shitpost.

    They’re literally a thing.

    Whoever thought this would be a fun lawn toy was nefarious.

      You walk into a toy company’s division for new toy development in the 20th century, and it’s just a bunch of guys looking at ancient weapons

        2 inches is all you need. I remember those would close so easily on my fingers.

        that’s the day I became a fixed blade man.

          Because you didn’t have enough fingers left to open and close the other ones?

          Stolen from Red Foxx.

          The police think [all ghetto residents] carry knives. [Expletive deleted] my uncle carried an ice pick for years.

            LOL, my dad carried a crescent wrench. He buried my Bowie knife in a tree so hard I could swing on it. You wouldn’t want to be at the end of that man’s flying wrench.

              I had to read that three times. Your father used a crescent wrench for business and social occasions. He had the arm strength to stab a tree and embed the knife. He was a formidable opponent.
