No such thing as a boat anchor FE head. Each iteration since their inception has its intended range of application, and performs well within such parameters. For people that want to deduct Huggies points for your car not having glory castings at the car show, I suggest insertion of a GhostStrike into idiot's trachea, quarter-turn either direction, exit through carotid. Hope this helps.

Good! I try to spread Holiday cheer in my own way whenever possible. And here's a link to the little stocking stuffer now:   http://www.ebay.com/itm/311740671041   I wear mine handle-down on the belt for quick engagement. Effective on "refugees", wherever they happen to be, also.

Talked to a guy in early 2000's that was running his lightened (front-halved, Lexan windows) 1967/8 Mustang fastback on the Super Street (10.90) index with a 2-tenths or so cushion. "Mid-effort" C8-H heads on a 428. It's up to you what you do with them.

Not at all, sorry if it came across that way.  Your video with the old lady threatening a knife in the ribs was great!

I live in the Arizona desert. I'd be less concerned seeing the ghost of Erwin Rommel tool by my house poised upon some Panzer than I would the sudden appearance of woods. Or bears.

As you know, some of the most active social spots in this state, 7 days a week, are gun stores. The better ones have sections for all kinds of interesting cutlery. After checking reviews, though, I chose the GhostStrike because it is essentially unnoticeable in T-shirt weather (8 months a year here), yet plenty lethal in close-quarter scuffles. Razor-sharp out of the box, it might even be handy for repairing radiator hoses and vacuum lines. What a bonus!

I think people get twitchier about knives than guns. Years ago I used to occasionally wear my AR-15's Buck M9 bayonet in public. People seeing that would appear to be more nervous than noticing someone's Glock or Smith. I think they "envision" a bloodier scene. Go figure.

Gee, maybe I should start a Weapons forum...  ;D

I'm down with that. Looking forward to discussions about short-blade decaps, including serrated vs. smooth edges, proper delicatessen-style blade movements (including yell-stifling entries), efficient ganglia separation, use of insects to remove organic remains (some FElony exclusives!), and why the U.S. is embarrassingly way behind the Middle East and Mexico in producing sub-10 second decap videos for Internet viewing.

We can talk about guns, too. Bang Bang! You're dead.

I ended up with 25 stiches in my little finger working on a Model T hot rod shock mount in 1974. Pushing it down it rotated and the sharp edge sliced lengthwise  and right thru the tendon also lengthwise about an inch long. Most of the stiches were for the tendon. I didn't feel anything but looked down at it before the blood started. Sometimes I think an knife would have been a cleaner cut.
Just my opinion.

I won't post anything else about weapons.

If you had two C8 heads you would have a fair starting point.
The C7 head will have the smallest ports of any head you will find.
You could probably grind them out to be equal, but it will probably
be better to find another C8.
