# 7 Fear The Blade
Phantom Penguin on Feb. 12, 2007
My tank never needed it. I was the gunner after all. Insurgents in Fallujah learned to fear the tank with a cross spray painted on it, after all, im not such a nice guy.
I carried a Gurkha knife on me for awhile when i was over there, until the Gurkha Regiment came over, then they made me take it off. We would be rolling down a street, take heavy fire, all kids of it…then these Gurkhas would come up and everything would stop.
When i carried the blade the Insurgents would get one look at me and stop firing.
heres a picture of the knife:

Sounds like real life taught you more than any research could have. Nice effort!! I'll have to scan the vid, too.

this has nothing to do with anything. But this is a great vid from a few years back of my unit kicking ass in Fallujah: http://youtube.com/watch?v=G_0h8jI005Y

Woah! Its Getting Like HIGHLANDER. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! I love the Kukri. It is a Versatile weapon with many advantages over the common short knife blade. The weight of the Blade is balanced well... gives a better chance of a deeper Gash. Great for close combat. here is another pic... http://www.sitemason.com/files/kCplXa/kukri.jpg I will remember the cutting off heads thing when this Mess starts to overflow into the states. Good luck over there, we appreciate it.

That's interesting about the insurgents and their fear of Gurkha knives. I learned something new.
