***Knife Review*** Ugly Knife from Tribal Edge Knives
OK, if you read the post about my summer vacation, you will see that I went to see my
Silat teacher(who showed me some cool Kali, also), Mushtaq. Aside from being a scholar,
cook, and martial arts teacher, Mushtaq also is a knife maker. His website for this is
He does this with Chuck Pippen, but they both have different styles.
When I arrived, he gifted me with two items I will keep forever, a walking stick, which will be reviewed later, and a knife, known as the Ugly Knife.
This knife is a wonderful multi-purpose knife. It is probably the most useful all around knife I have owned for quite a while.
According to Mushtaq, he designed it with utility in mind first, and SD as something it can do
as well. I can attest to it's utility use, as I carried it at work for awhile, and used it in the warehouse. Comfortable, sharp, and strong enough to handle everything, including falling on a concrete floor while I was climbing some shelves.
But, as we all should know by now, my interest in knives is more towards the SD/survival end of things. This knife performs wonderfully in this regard. A neutral handle means it can be used in all 4 primary grips. The balance point is in the middle, slightly in the handle, making slashes
easy and second nature. The point lines up for thrusting as well as any bowie I have used.
Look Mushtaq and the crew up at the link provided above, and buy one.
Even if you don't need one, you really do.

"And how would sir like his coffee?"
"I like my coffee like I like my women. Hot and sweet!"
"Very good, sir. Black or white?"

"I like my coffee like I like my woman. Bitter and Murky!"
I like my women the way I like my knives: Sharp, treacherous, and can turn on you in a blink for some imagined offense. Dangerous to you & everybody around you. Ornately decorated with attractive curves and points that disguise a rabid psychotic she-bitch from Hell.
Oh, and preferably from Asia.
Wow Bobbe after that description I need a cold shower.....
Well done! I like the look of this knife. Very primitive! I see your interested in survival knives. I have some reviews on some survival knives if you wan to check it out.
