    December 2019 There Were 75 Tables Which Included Several Pretty Nice the Beginning Displays

    KNEWSLETTTER IN A KNUTSHELL 4 The Beginning 4 Display Making 4 Charter Members 4 Laguiole Knives 4 Application Form Our international membership is happily involved with “Anything that goes ‘cut’!” December 2019 There were 75 tables which included several pretty nice The Beginning displays. We had three Gerber folding knives, enhanced ibdennis with engraving on ivory micarta handles, presented in Someone recently asked me to recall and write the beginning a custom wood box. These were given to the three best of the Oregon Knife Collectors Association (OKCA). It was displays at the Show. The attendance was around 500 with 1975 when a group of knife minded people gathered to see if it a door admission of $1.00. was feasible to have a knife show on the West Coast. We had monthly meetings in the Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) utilities basement here in Eugene, Oregon, once a month on Saturdays which was attended by Oregonians mostly. We called ourselves the “Emerald Empire Blade Collectors Association.” Long about the first of 1976, we modified our name to “Emerald Empire Knife Collectors.” I think this happened as most of the public had no idea what a “blade” was. The only knife shows that were available were in conjunction with gun shows held in the area. It was always a travel-to-a destination. The big shows were even more unavailable, greater distances. How about a show in our area was the question? Something like, ”If Mohammed can’t go to the mountain, then bring the mountain to Mohammed.” It was this drive that suggested that I would promote the interest of collectable cutlery and Wayne Goddard would promote the area of knifemaking.
  • Rules and Options

    Rules and Options

    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

The Engesa EE-T1 Osorio was a surprising development for Brazil – a tank that, while not in the class of the latest tanks of the time, one that was far above the league of the typical third-world offerings. In design, it was similar to many tanks of the time; this was not surprising, since Engesa had a lot of help from West German, British and French armor experts. The EE-T1 was very promising – an excellent design that several countries were very interested in. The Saudis in particular went as far as to place a pre- order of 318 for the Osorio. That deal, however, was essentially killed when the Saudis saw the incredible performance of the M-1 Abrams and the British Challenger, and they literally cancelled the Osorio order at the last moment. This resulted in the cancellation of demonstrations to other countries, the demise of Engesa, and with it a promising medium tank.

    UNRIVALED TURKISH SWORD with a UNIQUE DESIGN: “YATAGHAN” Prof

    International Journal of Cultural Heritage Tarık Baykara http://iaras.org/iaras/journals/ijch UNRIVALED TURKISH SWORD WITH A UNIQUE DESIGN: “YATAGHAN” Prof. Dr. Tarık Baykara Dogus University Faculty of Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Department Istanbul-Türkiye [email protected] Abstract: “Yataghan”, a unique and unparalleled sword design with its inverse curved or concave shape blade could be traced through the history back to the kurgan culture of the Central Asian steppes dating to 2000-3000 BCE. Widely used during the Ottoman period in the Anatolian penninsula and in the Balkans, it was a traditional weapon used by janissaries-Ottoman infantry soldiers, levents-Ottoman marines and zeibecks-chivalrous gangs of the Aegean Region. The typical inverse curved shape was found in the Northern Ordos bronze blades of the Hunnic-Turkic heritage and evolution of the form can be traced through the ages into the final destination into the town of Yatagan located in southwest Turkey, greater city of Denizli and the town is still very famous for its blacksmithing. Therefore, the 5000 years old tradition could be followed for yataghans based on archeological excavations in the Northern Ordos Region, the Syberian steppes and the Inner Mongolia. A detailed investigation on the geometrical shapes and forms of both “yataghan” and “kinglu” blades (The Northern Ordos bronze blades) could reveal the evolutionary progress of these swords during the ages. Key Words: Yataghan, swords, yataghan blade, inverse blade, 1. Introduction yataghan sword as “Kulaklı (in Turkish)– Yatagan or Yataghan… “Yataghan” is Eared” (Figure 2). a widely known traditional Turkish sword with a unique and unparalleled design which is one Historically, curved shape swords are typical handed with an edge on concave/incurved blade Turkic invention dated back to years 400-500 and a short hilt without a guard.

I asked the reason and was told that Wichita had a law that no fixed I've not been without a blade in my pocket from the time I was a blade knives were to be allowed on airplanes. That knife was totally small boy. I started "carrying" young, and I've got the scars to show legal from the federal laws at that time. The knife in question had been retired after I carried it long enough to wear the original 3" blade down to around 2-inches. It had a sheath with a clip on it, and it had been carried on the document pocket in my brief case for at least six years. It had been through most of the larger airports in our country, and not once been questioned.
