WORKS CITED 15 2 | P a g e ABSTRACT In the early 19th century, James Black created a different kind of knife for Jim Bowie. This knife was longer in length than the average knife and compared more to a mini sword. While the exact design and characteristics of the original Bowie knife was lost with James Black, the stories of the weapon captivated people. Our project was to capture the same aura surrounding the knife as James Black did many years ago but also commemorate the history associated with it. We created our Bowie knife model using Solidworks, cast it in IC440C Stainless Steel with the assistance of American Foundry Group, and polished it with our own tools. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Management Figure 1: Project Schedule Figure 1 shows the original Gantt chart for the Bowie Knife project. It began December 15th when we created the original proposition for the competition. Every period in the chat represents 1 week since the original 12/15 start date.

  • Red Devil Master Catalog
    1872 OUR HISTORY: Founded as Smith & Hemenway Company, Inc. in 1872 in Hill, New Hampshire, our place in hardware history was established with production of several types of glasscutters, including the patented “Woodward Wizard.” This unique tool, with its tiny wheel for scoring glass, was among the rst in the industry that could be used as a glass breaker, can opener, corkscrew, knife/scissor sharpener, and tack hammer. Because of the “Woodward Wizard” and other unique and dependable tools, our reputation for quality and reliability grew. During a buying trip to Sweden, the company’s founder, Landon P. Smith, heard a blacksmith remark “those little red devils” after sparks from a forge singed his arm. The name stuck in Smith’s mind and upon his return to the States, he began to label many of the tools he sold with the Red Devil® trade name. By the late 19th century, do-it-yourselfers, as well as professionals, were depending on our top-performing products. In the early 1900s, the Red Devil® name became synonymous with quality tools for professional and DIY projects. In 1932, George L. Lee, Sr. acquired the Vesco Tools Company’s line of wood scrapers - the rst of nearly three dozen acquisitions designed to expand and improve the Red Devil® line. These acquisitions included complimentary lines of painters’ tools, including wall scrapers, putty knives, glaziers’ diamond points, and automatic point drivers. Throughout the years, Red Devil® continued to provide new alternatives for age-old problems, developing many innovative products like the ERGO 2000™ PRO putty knife and scraper line, one of the rst on the market designed with ergonomic grip handles.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED CAMPFIRE CUT This was another timed event intended to test a contestant’s knife and its ability to function effectively as a camp knife. For example, could the contestant use his knife to make kindling for a fire? The challenge here was to produce, in thirty seconds, RIPOSTE a large quantity of splinters from a six inch 2X4. HANGING PLASTIC BOTTLE This extremely difficult test involved severing an empty 16 ounce plastic water THE 2003 BLADE SHOW bottle. The bottle was suspended in mid air by a single upholstery thread. The tricky part was cutting the bottle without breaking the thread in the process! After a long absence and much urging from our loyal customers and fans, we decided to attend the Blade show in Atlanta one more time. Here are some of the ROPE CUT high points and low points from our perspective. The final event of the day required each contestant to predict the total number of free hanging manila ropes he could sever in a single stroke. The difficult part, of course, involved living up to one’s prediction. Failure to cut the predicted number HIGH POINTS... of ropes would result in a no score. Throughout the contest, spectators were entertained and educated by the folksy, down home banter of M.C. Jerry Fisk, who did a fantastic job keeping the event on CUSTOMERS AND FANS course.

  • Machete Fighting in Haiti, Cuba, and Colombia
    MEMORIAS Revista digital de Historia y Arqueología desde el Caribe colombiano Peinillas y participación popular: Pelea de machetes en Haiti, Cuba y Colombia 1 Peinillas and Popular Participation: Machete fighting in Haiti, Cuba, and Colombia ∗ Dr. T. J. Desch-Obi Recibido: Agosto 27 de 2009 Aceptado: Noviembre 8 de 2009 RESUMEN: Este artículo explora la historia de esgrima con machetes entre los afro- descendientes en Haití, Cuba y Colombia. El machete, como un ícono sagrado de éxito individual y de guerra en África, se convierte para los esclavizados Africanos en una herramienta usada en la explotación de su trabajo. Ellos retuvieron la maestría en esta arma a través de la extensión del arte de pelea con palos. Esta maestría en las armas blancas ayudó a transformar el machete en un importante instrumento en las batallas nacionales de esas tres naciones. Aún en el comienzo del siglo veinte, el arte de esgrima con machetes fue una práctica social muy expandida entre los Afro-Caucanos, que les permitía demostrar su honor individual, como también hacer importantes contribuciones a las batallas nacionales, como la Colombo-Peruana. Aunque la historia publicada de las batallas nacionales realza la importancia de los líderes políticos y militares, los practicantes de estas formas de esgrima perpetuaron importantes contra- memorias que enfatizan el papel de soldados Afros quienes con su maestría con el machete pavimentaron el camino para la victoria nacional. PALABRAS CLAVES: Esgrima, afro-descendientes, machete. ABSTRACT: This article explores the history of fencing with machetes among people of African descent in Haiti, Cuba, and Colombia. The machete, a sacred icon of individual success and warfare in Africa, became for enslaved Africans a tool used in exploiting their labor.

When “news media” drops down, click on that —— and there’re the full interviews! E D I T O R I A L Violence Sometimes Is The Best — And Only Solution THE bromide sounds so good and comfy: “Violence never solves anything!”. That’s why so many people accept it. That’s why they unthinkingly pass it on. That’s why, despite it’s being bullshit, the damn catch phrase has become almost a guide for those poor saps who now live in a feral world and who feel helpless to deal with it. “Well,” they tell themselves, “violence certainly is no solution. We’ve just got to find ways to encourage dialog with troublemakers, and talk out our differences.” The truth is that while always regrettable, recourse to physical force is sometimes desperately necessary and completely justifiable. This fact —— this concept —— was once understood as being axiomatic. No sane person questioned, for example, that the absolute right to self-defense existed for everyone; everywhere, and at all times. Today, a great deal of confusion has been allowed to permeate the minds of formerly sensible people, and we observe such horse manure as “zero tolerance for violence” being announced as policy in the public schools —— making a bully’s victim as culpable as the bully if that victim defends himself.

Physically considered, the sword is a metal blade intended for cutting, thrusting, or cut and thrust. It is usually but not always composed of two parts. The first and principal is the blade proper(taban, namlu). It's cutting surface called the edge(yalım), and it's thrusting end is the point (yalman). The second part which adapts the weapon for readier use, is the hilt(kabza), whose several sections form a complicated and a enormously varied whole. The grip is the outer case of the tang, the thin spike which projects from the shoulders or thickening of the blade, at the end opposed to the point. Sametimes there are two short teeth or projections from the an- , gles of the shoulders. These are called the "ears". The tang which is of many shapes,-long and short, straight-lined or curvilinear, plain of pierced for attachınent-ends in the pommel or little ap­ pleı. Into which it shouldbemade fast by rivets or screws. The object of this oval of metal is to counterpoise the weight of the blade and to allow of artistic ornamentation. The grip of wood, bone, horn, ivory, metal, valuable stones and other materials covered with skin, cloth and various substances whipped round with cord or wire is projected at the end abutting upon the guard proper by the hilt piece which also greatly varies.

    Probable extinction of the western black rhino Yemen’s attitudes towards rhino horn and jambiyas Lucy Vigne, Esmond Martin PO Box 15510 – 00503, Nairobi, Kenya; email: [email protected] Abstract In 1990 the Marxist government of the south that had banned civilians from possessing weapons, including the jambiya dagger, was ousted. South Yemen united with North Yemen to form one country. Were more people in the south going to emulate the northerners and buy jambiyas once again? Having not been in the southern region since 1993, we surveyed five main southern towns in early 2008 to see if influences from the north had encouraged the southerners to wear jambiyas in recent years. In many ways the southerners are emulating the northerners: they have shed Marxism in favour of capitalism and there has been an increase in traditional Islamic practices, but they still look down on jambiyas. However, the dagger is still a proud sign of being a northern tribesman, and Sanaa remains the centre of the jambiya industry - with rhino horn most favoured for handles; Taiz trails a distant second in importance. We learned more about the attitudes of Yemenis, especially from the younger more prosperous men in Sanaa who are likely to buy a rhino horn jambiya. And we increased public awareness on the plight of the rhino, distributing DVDs on Yemen’s rhino horn trade and supplying other educational materials to Yemenis in Sanaa and Taiz. Résumé En 1990 le gouvernement marxiste du sud qui avait interdit aux civils de posséder des armes, y compris le poignard jambiya, a été évincé.
