So what does a fella do on a day to basis with those knives? Stab sacks of potatoes?
Sharpen them, stare at them like Gollum stares at the one ring. Flick em open and closed.
Other than that, 2 are in my car at all times as I never really know when I'm heading into the woods, one is in my security kit for work which also has 1st responders scissors, flashlight,l etc.
All of my knives are sweeping blades for slicing/widdling. And IMO, any blade shorter that 4 inches are useless against humans or animals that would prey on you. I'd rather keep weapons out of any fight.
If you want a human carving knife/sack of potato poker, fixed blades 5 inches or larger are the way.

It has been sold out for a while, though. Anybody know where else you can pick up a good spear?
I should note I need this to be an actual spear; not a mall ninja spear.
Basically, if a bear rears up I want to plant this in the ground and angle it toward the bear so the weight of him coming down on the spear will kill him instantly without the shaft of the spear breaking.

A quick seems to say that spear hunting big game is illegal in AB. I think you're allowed to spear fish?
If you're carrying that while hiking as a walking stick, you might end up with some weird conversations with conservation officers.
No idea on the legality of carrying, but I imagine if you were allowed to, there's a size limitation on the blade and I assume wherever you're wandering around, the sharp parts must be covered?
Nothing screams respect like spearing a bear to death
It'd be a defensive killing. I'm not going to dress up like Mowgli from The Jungle Book and hunt them; I just need to be ready if they didn't clear the path from my bear banger.

Yeah, the one I posted has a sheath and it is shaped like a walking stick, which I'd use it as just so it's handy for it's alternate use. Still don't know if that's legal, though. I might risk it. I think I'm worth it.
Are bears that dumb that they’d completely impale themselves while charging? I kind of imagine, like most semi-intelligent creatures, once pain is felt they try a different tact.
I envision you somewhat holding the spear up at an angle while the back is planted into the ground. That part seems sound, but what is plan B if the bear only suffers a minor injury?

I don't need a plan B if the spear is good. I think I saw this in a movie. I'm confident I have the technique correct.
