Frag Out! Magazine

project that who rubs shoulders with the tactic-knife circles (or reads the frag out!), for sure, know war. in brief – the war is one of the founders of the biggest polish website and forums dedicated to knives called "knives.pl", but not only. nowadays, knives.pl is an epicentre of everything what associated with knives – there is a few other forums and web sites, but a majority of people connected with them originates from knives.pl. he is a contem- porary knifeman. well, how to call him in other way? in a quite professional way, i could also write a "specialist of knife fighting technics". do you know lyn thompson from the cold steel? have you seen how unobtrusive and fat is that man? and have you seen how he fights with a knife on the mat? this is war. well, maYbe 20 kilograms lighter … war, as a man, who has seen a lot of knives and several of them figured himself out, some time ago has sat down to a new project. on an utility and fighting knife. for the all-purpose tool which can be taken everywhere and will be effective everywhere. it's not the edc knife. war's knife is a typical utility & combat knife. it's a piece of a sturdy tool – heave and massive. one can imme- diately feel that it has been designed to serious operations. as a user of many knives at one, after a first touch, i may write if a given tool is worth something, but to be quite sure i prefer to pang it a little bit. here i have carte blanche during tests – do whatever i want so i have put on a brave face on it and i have weakened the whole structure. a knife has a classic structure in type of the full-tang and it is made of one piece of the n690 stainless steel to which are riveted handle covers. what does it give? it is one of the most enduring structures which are made. the only thing which can spoilt itself (of course, theoretically) is dropping off - damaging of its covers. only? one can also break a knife, but it's an extreme which happens only if a knife is too weak, made from poor quality materials, has a certain defect or is not used in compliance with the intended use. can the kamil's knife be broken? i must sincerely admit that i have tried. it hasn't broken. i have batoned, i have levered, i have chopped – no result. i haven't tried to stand on it. here the physics says that a long knife with a full flat cut could not stand it. it couldn't, but it could manage. after all, standing on the knife is not that for which it has been created. eXecution kamil długosz has made this knife. he's quite a young man, what can be surprising in this branch, but if you just have a look at his output, you would immediately notice that he has something to brag about. one can even write that in our times it is easier. when you don't know something, you can just type it into your browser window and you know the answer – just a few years ago it took a couple of days or even weeks. maybe it is also the reason for which a com- petition in custom tools grows? i don't know. one was born with that, the other must learn it. how it is with kamil it's hardly to say. but his knives look purely awesome. survival equipment
