i'm embarassed to admit i have been. All i can say is i couldn't reccomend getting stabbed in the face to anyone. and i have a good idea how to use the hook -- give me that mojo and a nice bottle of porter and watch me work! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
You know, when I first learned about those blade catches, I was wondering how in the heck you'd ever "catch" their swinging blade in there. But thinking about it now, I guess it would be more useful if you are grappling with your opponent and get hold of their wrist. Then you could use that hook to wrench the blade out of their hands.
Is that how they're designed to be used? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I'd still just use it as a bottle opener. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
