    Like my fellow blade-freak (& thrill-seekin' self-mutilator <A

bladed/spiked objects... and I grew up in Texas which is arguably a top-notch
"knife-&-gun-club" state ;)

    ditto
    I learned how to make prison-styled "shanks" from other cons in jail
fairly long ago (1990)...
    I'd love to have some of my dagger designs made in fractal-like Damascus
Steel, "pitted" meteorite metals, sand-cast lost-wax bronze, etc..

    "To live is to scrounge, taking what you can in order to survive. So,
since living is scrounging, the result of our efforts is to amass a pile of
rubbish."
                - Chuang Tzu/Zhuangzi, China, 4th Century BCE

    "The most beautiful order is a heap of sweepings piled up at random."
                                    - Heraclitus, Greece, 5th Century BCE

    "...So what is life for? Life is for beauty and substance and sound and
colour; and even those are often forbidden by law [socio-cultural conventions].
. . . Why not be free and live your own life? Why follow other people's rules
and live to please others?..." ~Lieh-Tzu/Liezi, Taoist Sage (c. 450- c. 375
BCE)
