Switchblade



A friend just gave me one of these as a gift. Pictured is a Colt M16K automatic blade, however mine is actually a Colt AR15K - originally produced as a manual blade but custom converted to a dual action automatic with the same sleeper button as pictured above. Apparently, my friend used to deal in knives and still has quite an assortment of blades - from stilettos, switchblades, and fixed blades, to a set of brass knuckles with a button activated razor sharp "gut-hook" that pops out the side when triggered. (pictured below - the opposite side is engraved with a FTW logo...very classy item)
I was previuosly unaware of such a contraption, but now understand how handy these knuckles are for performing the classic smash-n-slash move, often seen issued immediately preceeding a finishing heel-stomp-to-the-head. This combination has been perfected by many elite military and biker gang brawlers throughout the US and abroad.

Isn't FTW (Fuck the World)a Neo-Nazi phrase?

That wouldn't surprise me, however I don't claim to know it's true origin. Regardless, it seems to have been adopted by several different mis-guided groups and individuals as something "cool" to profess. Those guys that have gone so far as to actually tattoo it on themselves are probably worth steering clear of all together.
