Title: Cyclone knife
Post by: Antz on June 25, 2019, 09:32:06 PM
I have a question. How would any of you go about sharpening a knife like this. I saw it on amazon and it got me thinking about what I would do if by chance I ever ran into one of these.

Thanks,
Antz

Sometime ago a friend asked me the exact same question, to which I said 'no idea"

I wonder how it would get dull? You would need to do a lot of stabbing to wear the edges.

I think this is almost a novelty item. My hunting/survival knife is a SOG Seal Pup. I think if I ever had to stab something it would do the job plus a multitude of other things.

Mat,

That was my exact thoughts as well "I have no idea".

John,

I believe you are right about it just being a novelty item. How would it get dull is a good point. That's an awful lot of stabbing. Reminds me of when I found "nuclear duct tape" for almost 100$ a roll. I mean who does that much stabbing with a cyclone knife to dull it and who needs nuclear tape for their home made reactors? Also if you need duct tape on a nuclear reactor you have bigger issues. I know the connection is a stretch, but I digress...
