lol i wonder what kind of carry laws you have

lol i wonder what kind of carry laws you have

I guess it is a NO carry, at least in administrative buildings and other malls with a security sas.
On the other hand, considering the almost daily attacks or attempts of attacks by local arabs, (last one was yesterday against a park ranger who succeeded to pull his hand gun and detain the attacker, and later the same day a younf man of 24 who was lucky enough to find a wood stick close to him, and fended off his offenders with this improvised weapon)
Also, it should be noted that the motive is more often "nationalistic" than common crime.
Now, the great State of Israel, in it's infinite wisdom, decided that I don't need a handgun considering the fact that I now live in jerusalem, despite my line of work (guide on an archaeological site and soon to be national guide) that brings me with my clients all around the country, Judea and Samaria included.
So the idea is to get myself a decent knife to carry in the case things aren't going as hoped for.
I thought of a Tanto form, but I'm fine with a bowie, and won't use the thing daily, I have a multitool for that.

Anyone know a good place to get Russian AK bayonets. I've searched alot but there are few sites that sell them. They don't seem to be very common.
http://www.rusmilitary.com/html/c-cold_steel.htm and eBay of course.

Thanks

All I could find at the places I usually buy from were East German Bayonets, and Romanian.

Good enough. I like them all, but the Russian edition is my favorite. It's really hard to get anything Russian in the states. AKM type 2's are my favorite model.

My new GLOCK.






I've had it for about a month. It cuts good, solid and it feels comfortable in my hands. The grip and sheath should be cammied, though.

I was sharpening a Spyderco Centofante 4 folding knife with a Japanese water stone (8000 grit), and managed to get a nice edge to it. Then I attempted to wipe the water off the blade onto my shirt, and felt a sting... cut myself!

I love it. Now I am getting there... I have had the water stones for at least a year, but it really takes some time to learn the proper angles for grinding the blade and the right technique.

The thing here is that VG-10 steel gets much sharper than lesser steels. It has been found on Spydies starting from around year 2000, and it's being used on more and more blades. Other manufacturers use it too - SOG seems to be upgrading many of their models to VG-10. It does cost more, but then it's a little cheaper than the American-made CPM-S30V.

My golly, that was a nice clean cut. It doesn't feel like much, and a cut made by a sharp edge closes pretty quick. BTW it's close to my elbow there in the picture, it might be kind of hard to figure out the pic. Anyways, I don't think that an AUS-8 or 440C blade would have cut me in the same situ. Sharp VG-10, when it touches you it cuts you. Not so with cheaper stainless.

The Spyderco Sharpmaker or a Lansky system would be much easier to use, and a sharp edge would be easier to attain on them, but they are not very field-portable. You can't take those fishing, mountain-climbing or storming Bin Laden's cave.

Regarding the Centofante 4: it is one of my very favourite folders. It is not very strong, in fact it is more delicate than the "Delica" model: I would say it is a "gentleman's knife" despite it's dark, threatening looks. The blade is called a "Wharncliffe" shape, and it's not very good as an all-round blade but it's very good for certain tasks.

Are you sure you are not qualified for a license. If you work in the territories, you are, AFAIK.
