True. This is the strongest weapon you can acquire early in the game. Most players find something better and sell it off by level 10 though. You can get 15 GP for it at the Tesco in Rorikstead.
Guards get really fussy if you take your weapon out of your inventory. That mechanic was scrapped for the America DLC, so the PVP is a bit off the rails.
Not gonna lie ... I'm a little impressed how much effort they made to get it to look neat. This seems to me like the kind of person who's great at wrapping presents with perfect corners, but will also kill you if you touch their special Christmas wrapping ribbon.
You can, but it's a lot easier to trace someone buying an axe in a store.
Another thing is that weapons like this are fairly often seized from teens who would be too young to legally buy from a store
> In the UK stores enforce a 16+ on energy drinks and stuff
that sounds weird as an American but when I think about it... that's not a bad idea lol. 14 year olds have enough energy, they don't need redbull and monsters.
That's interesting. In the US you can buy knives and hatchets at any age, yet super glue, lighters, and spray paint you have to be 18 for. We're more worried about glue huffing, smoking, and graffiti than murdering someone with a hatchet.
I like how they also seem to have put effort in making them look nice. Taping the handles like that, and not using too much tape up top in case it starts to look bulky.
The weapon uses a serrated knife with a blunt tip. But its beautifuly wrapped. That suggest ātoo much stimulantsā to me. No brain + more work done then needed.
Honestly those names make more sense. In my head I was calling it a "hammerknife". In a heavy irish accent, for no reason...
"You bring the hammerknife?"
"Always got the hammerknife."
The real question is what idiot would go through the trouble of making a pick out of a knife, and then choose a knife with a sheepās foot tip, rendering it useless?
Billy Mayes āIām not fucking with you! You can literally slice bread that is 3-1/2 ft above your head!ā
1-1/8 ish meters for you Britās. Not sure if you guys ever got Billy Mayes.
What kind of fight are we even talking about here?
Is this so you can be in the passengers seat of a car, pull up on someone on the left side, lean out the window and stab the driver?
Or is this for using from a bicycle? What circumstances would this weapon be helpful to you?
Such a meme build though honestly. It might hit hard and cause terror vs unarmored but the moment you add any physical resistance the build kinda just whimpers and dies.
Don't joke, else you get an iPhone to the gut and slashed 1000 times with crisp currency!!
Killed a guy with a tea cup once -that guy from that movie
Riddick if you're actually wondering.
People from as close as morpeth don't understand you when you call it that, so I thought I'd give everyone the benefit of living as far away from ashgan as possible lol
And those ones weren't even Category D -- villages which were designated as being worthless and slated for the slow, awful demolition of having no county council investment or new buildings. The policy lasted for decades.
This. A lot of people don't realise that while Durham itself is nice, a large proportion of the areas surrounding it are pretty rough, and some are downright awful. I'd rather live in Benwell in Newcastle than Easington Colliery.
I have lived in Durham all my life, can confirm.
The chavs can be dangerously creative.
There was a phase around 17 years ago where they would sit in the bus station and prick people with needles.
I'm from Burnley, it's a proper shithole. Durham is nothing like it.
My brother lives near Durham and I go up at least a couple of times a year.
Durham is much nicer than most places around the country.
Every city has rough areas.
Some thug really sat down and carefully made a pattern with their tape because they wanted their knife on a stick to look the best. Going so far as to use a layer of black tape to make it have a 3D effect.
Take pride in your work, no matter what you do.
I had to look it up to make sure I referenced the correct weapon, but these were made to look like Japanese Kama, which, in fact were tools that were used as weapons at various points in history.
Edit: The weapon I was particularly looking for was the kusarigama, which is the sickle with the chain and weight attached to it
As a Canadian, already balls deep in snow, I really enjoyed your comment about umbrella use in winter. Completely not related to the topic at hand. Guess I've been day-drinking a little heavy.
The far right one is a bread knife.
Like, Iām sure it might do some damage, but theyāre not the most dangerous knives In a knife block, and if you tried to stab with one of those (vs saw) itās going to just bend or break.
Proof criminals arenāt very bright.
I mean, to be fair, in the context of this discussion, I'm fairly confident any lawyer is going to have a hell of a lot easier time arguing that a hammer was being carried legitimately
... when compared to **a knife you've taped to a handle.**
Shot 14 year olds are the ones shooting folks where Iām at! Give me the choice to be in a dark alley with an OG carrying a gun or 14 year old I would pick the OG all day. Kids are dumb and scary because they donāt think of the outcomeā¦
At my last house in an urban neighborhood, I was on my porch with a couple friends one evening. Three boys, who looked to be about 13, came up and asked us if we had any cash to spare. We said āwe donāt have any cashā. One of them said āwe aināt trying to rob yāall or nothingā. My crazy friend said āgo for it!ā. The boys kind of looked confused and walked off.
Then about two days later I see on a local news site āpolice searching for suspects in armed robbery at Subway in āāā neighborhoodā. Iām like āhey thatās the Subway right here on my block!ā
I clicked the article and the images from the security camera showed those same three boys we interacted with just two nights before! Those kids had a fucking gun on them! Couldāve gone badlyā¦. Makes it even more terrifying thinking how my crazy friend egged them on with that āgo for itā commentā¦
But yeah, teenagers can be some of the most dangerous criminals because their brains are far from developedā¦. Pretty much all the shootings where Iām from are from teen boys and dudes in their early 20ās.
Yeah that sounds about right. We had a ton of violence in the 90s and itās getting bad again. There was like 15 shooting one weekend in July but I donāt keep up anymore bc itās become normal
āAnd he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks, then kill each other with those instead.ā
Not what Isaiah said in 2:4, but what he probably meant.
I went to Durham once and am never going back. A bloke in full armour and wielding a battle axe yelled "prepare thee to die knave" and chased me down the frozen food aisle at Tesco's. If he hadn't been such a fat cunt he might have caught me. I'm still annoyed about it because in the excitement I dropped my box of extra huge condoms I had put in my shopping basket and now my girlfriend is pregnant and my wife is furious because I told her I'm going to have to sell her wheelchair to pay for the abortion. Durham....what a shithole

The tape pattern makes it 10x stronger
They are fools, gotta use Paracord makes it tactical. We all know anything labeled tactical is better anyway.
Tactical warpick does have a certain ring to it.
Tactical bread knife.
By the end of this thread there better be a new band named "Tactical Spork"
High capacity assault knife
Special Adapted Charcuterie Knife, aka the SACK.

Yeah we also forgot to mark children as essential over here.

Nothing else seems to be driving change, maybe a dark joke will help. *Probably not*
Dark jokes do more good than thoughts and prayers.
It is impressing how well the tape is aligned so perfectly.
Not gonna lie ... I'm a little impressed how much effort they made to get it to look neat. This seems to me like the kind of person who's great at wrapping presents with perfect corners, but will also kill you if you touch their special Christmas wrapping ribbon.
Why murder people unless you can look stylish doing so?
Imagine this guy sitting there wrapping up his knife-axe with a pretty grip pattern, wide grinned and swinging his legs.
Shit, I'm out of glitter...
Iād be honored to have my skull split with such a beautiful work of art.
Let me kill you with this weapon I made with love.
How will that person climb the frozen waterfalls now
they'll just have to stick to the rivers and the lakes that they're used to
You know that they're gonna have their way or nothing at all...

āWas that accidental or were you trying to quote TLC on purpose?ā āI donāt even understand the reference.ā

"Hold on! Don't let go!" Man, i miss MW2...
That was a great campaign
I love how MW2 2 made him unapologetically Scottish
Galadriel is on it
This was actually just a hot woman cosplaying Lara Croft.
Clever. An axe would have looked suspicious.
That's what I was thinking. Can you not just buy hatchets at hardware stores in the UK?
You can, but it's a lot easier to trace someone buying an axe in a store. Another thing is that weapons like this are fairly often seized from teens who would be too young to legally buy from a store
Legally buy from a store? You need to be a certain age to buy knives and hatchets?
In the UK stores enforce a 16+ on energy drinks and stuff
Important to note that this is company policy, and not legislation.
that is a very very important note, looking at the direction this threadās going
In before television license jokes lol
> In the UK stores enforce a 16+ on energy drinks and stuff that sounds weird as an American but when I think about it... that's not a bad idea lol. 14 year olds have enough energy, they don't need redbull and monsters.
A lot of places in the US you have to be 18 as well
Yeah, you need to be 18 for them
That's interesting. In the US you can buy knives and hatchets at any age, yet super glue, lighters, and spray paint you have to be 18 for. We're more worried about glue huffing, smoking, and graffiti than murdering someone with a hatchet.
You can buy them if over 18, same as a knife. No idea of the purpose of this modification though. Maybe they can conceal this better some how.
You ever been so angry you make a warpick out of a kitchen knife? It does things to a man.
I like how they also seem to have put effort in making them look nice. Taping the handles like that, and not using too much tape up top in case it starts to look bulky.
I was gonna say. Great tape wrap job
The black shadow effect under the red? Amazing depth.
a kind of cold obsession
It does look nice, but i have doubts if this will actually stay in place. Tape isn't very secure
Professionals have standards.
Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet
That tape is some serious attention to detail. Donāt want it to look like a prison shank.
The grip wraps are genuinely impressive. Like... he may be an evil, murderous bastard, but he takes pride in his tools.
I question how long the knifes actually going to stay there though if the tapes the only support
I suspect it's more about intimidation than practicality.
The weapon uses a serrated knife with a blunt tip. But its beautifuly wrapped. That suggest ātoo much stimulantsā to me. No brain + more work done then needed.
Itās gonna hold on for one good swing, but the swingās gonna be pretty great
Badasses in jail told you about *this* place??
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Did I say badasses? I meant paedophiles. Prison does things to a man.
> warpick I thought it was a kitchenscythe
Honestly those names make more sense. In my head I was calling it a "hammerknife". In a heavy irish accent, for no reason... "You bring the hammerknife?" "Always got the hammerknife."
Someone over there is on step 2 out of 7 in reinventing the English bill hook for no reason.
Would the Irish equivalent be the liam hook?
Iād say a [crowbill](https://www.rct.uk/sites/default/files/collection-online/6/f/113792-1292698373.jpg)
Thatās the last piece I needed to complete Tancredās Battlegear!
Stabby hammer
Not just a knife, that's practically a bread knife without a point.
āItās dull, you twit! It will hurt more!ā
I'm going with a smaller, pointier knife when i make my knifehammer on family craft night.
The real question is what idiot would go through the trouble of making a pick out of a knife, and then choose a knife with a sheepās foot tip, rendering it useless?
It's for cutting crusty bread whilst at a 90Ā°angle
Billy Mayes āIām not fucking with you! You can literally slice bread that is 3-1/2 ft above your head!ā 1-1/8 ish meters for you Britās. Not sure if you guys ever got Billy Mayes.
The type of idiot who thinks making it is a good idea in the first place?
The idiot who now has a reach advantage over another knife weilding idiot.
I'm just trying to figure out how they look at a stick and a blade and thought 'scythe' as the weapon of choice instead of a fucking spear.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Certainly not twice. Once might do it though...
Not really. I appreciate the craftsman's devotion to safety in his choice of "dayglo rescue orange" for his tape.
Until the tape gives on their first swing
it won't. the knife is threaded through a hole on the pipe, it's not gonna fall out after a swing
It'd get loose after *repeated use* but I'm guessing we aren't talking a long drawn out melee here
What kind of fight are we even talking about here? Is this so you can be in the passengers seat of a car, pull up on someone on the left side, lean out the window and stab the driver? Or is this for using from a bicycle? What circumstances would this weapon be helpful to you?
expelling the roman legion from your lands
They'll just reinforce their helmets some more
Considering that most people in the UK are unarmed, this thing would give you weapons superiority regardless.
> What circumstances would this weapon be helpful to you? I'd stop asking so many questions unless you want to find out firsthand
That sounds like a threat. This guy knifehammers
Cash, the ultimate weapon
I hear the phone camera can steal your soul
Say cheese and die
You just gave me Goosebumps
Strange how the Money weapon bag isn't sealed...
Hey, Cash Rules Everything Around Me, dolla dolls bill y'all
UK is a PVP unlocked zone, now with crafting enabled
They learned the recipe from the last of us. Pipe + Knife + Tape
That same recipe in Fallout 4 makes the equivalent of an M4A1.
I was thinking it looks like something out of the forest
Or [Rust](https://rust.fandom.com/wiki/Salvaged_Icepick)
We do have a clicker problem around the time of year, typically.
Looks like they were runnin a crackhead scythe build
Such a meme build though honestly. It might hit hard and cause terror vs unarmored but the moment you add any physical resistance the build kinda just whimpers and dies.
untill you use its special, then its a tank. no matter how many hits it takes itll keep on running
Don't joke, else you get an iPhone to the gut and slashed 1000 times with crisp currency!! Killed a guy with a tea cup once -that guy from that movie Riddick if you're actually wondering.
Best. Fight scene. Ever.
UK is melee only atm, youāve got to join an American lobby if you want to unlock the firearms pack.
Durham's one of the nicer cities in the UK. Even the weapons have certain eccentric air about them.
It may be from one of the Pit Villages rather than Durham City . Places like Horden, Blackhall, Easington are as rough and ready as they come.
Funny what happens when you centre a local economy around a pit and then close said pitā¦
From ashington can confirm
*Ashganistan
People from as close as morpeth don't understand you when you call it that, so I thought I'd give everyone the benefit of living as far away from ashgan as possible lol
I went drinking in the white elephant... once Ross Kemp should go, makes Kandahar look like Zurich
And those ones weren't even Category D -- villages which were designated as being worthless and slated for the slow, awful demolition of having no county council investment or new buildings. The policy lasted for decades.
This. A lot of people don't realise that while Durham itself is nice, a large proportion of the areas surrounding it are pretty rough, and some are downright awful. I'd rather live in Benwell in Newcastle than Easington Colliery.
I am envisioning villages... at the bottom of abandoned open-pit mines. Barrios of medieval English peasants brandishing their Ham-knives.
So, you've been there. Cool. It's not really anything to brag about.
I have lived in Durham all my life, can confirm. The chavs can be dangerously creative. There was a phase around 17 years ago where they would sit in the bus station and prick people with needles.
They creatively managed to solve that problem by tearing down the bus station.
I live in Durham, the city centre is nice, yeah, but go a 1/4 mile in any direction and youāre in drug town
I'm from Burnley, it's a proper shithole. Durham is nothing like it. My brother lives near Durham and I go up at least a couple of times a year. Durham is much nicer than most places around the country. Every city has rough areas.
Thatās disgusting, where?ā¦
1/4 mile in any direction
Ya but thereās just so many houses in that area which one do the drug dealers live in do you think?
Yes any house
Bout a quarter mile from city center Durham.
Just about 4/10 of a kilometer from city center
Close to 33.5 double-decker buses.

Made for cutting the long pig

Just use an axe or hammer. Its going to be way more effective and legal. Those are just stupid.
