Knives of Honor

[hbones2009]

@flockofspades Pandas are cute thats why they are important

[SergeantFawful]

Americans would be apalled? Maybe you lady, but I personally wouldn't mind if I saw a man walk down the road with a Jambia.

[crypter27]

@SergeantFawful Why can't every man in the west walk around with a sword on his side,like in the old days?

[SergeantFawful]

@crypter27 Probobly because it would be too badass so that wimps like this dumb bitch would be scared shitless.

[crypter27]

@SergeantFawful Fuckin leftist wimps!

[Starsword333]

Knives do not appall me. Tools and weapons are not evil or scary.

[millindollamovies]

male domination and subjugation of females...a big NO!!!!!

[George6360]

save the rino..kill a yemen..

[TheSnKProductions]

almost never used? Ha!

[MokeesAss]

"While Americans would be appalled at the sight of men walking through town with daggers prominently tucked in their belts, in Yemen, it's merely a sign of manhood."

oh yeah guns are wwaaayyyyyy better.

[handhanh]

@MokeesAss week

[ginko27]

Species are going extinct because Arabs want pretty dagger handles. Nice! What's next? Panda's gone because they want a lovely black and white hat?

[flockofspades]

@ginko27 Fuck pandas. What purpose do they serve?

[BombBakers]

@flockofspades um well...fuck I can't think of any purpose other than being pretty I guess

[CJSmith8793]

Its beautiful there.

[SilverMatchCo]

that is the most beautiful dagger i have ever seen

[SmokeyCough]

I carry my ka-bar with me, i've never met anyone in the US "appalled" by it...

[onabreeze]

they need a knife to show there manhood lmao i have my dick i dont need a knife lmao its an excuse to intimidate anyone who doesnt like them fact.

[03041976001]

@onabreeze It really disgusts me to see fellow Caucasian people like you who possess such a pathetic command of the English language, you make the rest of us seem so backward.

Please don't post on youtube again.

[onabreeze]

@03041976001 it realy disgusts me that all you can do is worry about grammar or spelling mistakes and judge a person personally i couldnt give a fuck on youtube if my spelling or grammar isnt quite so lmao get a life. And what i said was fine you nerd! and im right in what i said just because you dont like my sentence your ashamed to be white or of whites lmao your weak. And your backward for your dumb sentence lmao hypocrite.

[gabba1gabba1hey]

I carry my gun on me, is that the same? haha

[drcranger]

Those are some beautiful daggers. I have been collecting and carring knives with me since I was 8 yrs old. To me knives are more of a tool than a weapon, though a few have been used as such.

[rotemsh1]

are you sure it is from the 21cn?!?!? they live like in the 7cn! wake up people we are in a new world time!!!!

[lovellespice]

sign of manhood? hehehe i'd rather you wear your manhood on the inside..

[mnmur22]

that funny and true

[no2facism]

let me tell secretsrevealed1 a secret which was never revealed to him and that is YOU ARE A iiiiiiiii-ddddddd--iiiiii---oo­ooo---ttttttttt. it is a secret code, do not tell no one ok.

[NordicFrost88]

go to hell jewish pig!!!

[no2facism]

And what should i call you? bacon? sausage? lol. I am not jewish lol, i am muslim from eastlondon. Black is beautiful, so is white and brown, the knives are also beautiful, but NordicFrost88 is just unimaginably ugly.

[NordicFrost88]

there is no HUMAN race! its the human KIND and we are splitted up in races.

theese races is fysicly but most mentaly. you have longer underlegs and bigger hands than us. you have bigger lips and nose than us. your front head goes more backwards and eyebrow part out (like the monkey to defend the brain in combat)

so it is clear we are different. look up some IQ test results and you shall see that you negroids score lowest every damn time.

White Pirde!

[cuddleswolf]

@NordicFrost88 How are you "mentally superior" when you can't even spell the word "mentally" correctly?

For your information, you aryan fuckheads were still pathetic Germanic tribes when Ancient Greece was thriving and rich.

[no2facism]

and that did not make no sense at all i swear down. i am tying to understand you kid, but i JUST CAN NOT. E.T. GO HOME NOW.

[Talbuk]

Thats a beautiful dagger man! Really nice blacksmithing work

[nassar7878hotmail]

Knives of Honor

. We can not let those knives because they honor us. And that the stockpile of weapons available to us,

[NeedWarForPeace]

"change creeps slowly but tradition remains strong" in american change creeps very quickly as tradition dies out.....

[RentTheSpokeMan]

[MoeWasHere2]

Booo!! They don't show those jambyah's from other parts of Yemen - the Hadthramis, Yaffais and even Taizis got some nice daggers. All the ones you see here are plastic - others out there are at least silver/gold studded.

[IPunchaUInTheFace]

Yemen is so beautiful... and that's so cool! I want to carry a knife in public!

[insanepeng]

i carry a close range sniper rifle but i don't use it beat people to death i use it as a bat during baseball season

[aviloud]

i have one.

[Jeezum]

Afghanistan makes excellent daggers. Ask a friend stationed over there to pick you up one.

[s8820199z]

Compare your carbon footprint with theirs.

At least they don't indulge in excessive consumerism and don't generate massive amounts of waste plus greenhouse gases.

With global warming, magnitudes more of species will be wiped out NOT just RHINOS.

So before condemning others, look at your own 'immortal' selves

[clarkewi]

Two wrongs don't make a right girlfriend..

[s8820199z]

yea

tell that to the judge when u get sentenced to death

[kjv2286]

what if you just get 25-life

[andrewzakk]

where you from preacher?

[Martinbitch]

don´t understand why people start debating about a persons spelling rather then about the point they make

[ryu8888]

because the collective IQ of the youtube community is lower than the user count.

[swcnut]

That's because most of the users are very young; I would estimate from 7 years of age.

[onabreeze]

@s8820199z you diot what feeds cars planes haha the oil yes so to say they have no carbon footprint is hilariouse they hold the world ransom with high oil prices hence why white run christian countries are going electric to shut those dumb oil lovin muslims up and out of the picture so dont even go there fool!

[cuddleswolf]

@s8820199z Go make some frownies on your crying pan. I love my western life.

[EarthernIndustry]

@s8820199z Consumerism = economical stimulation = progress. If people would start consuming more, we could afford to get rid of fossil fuels and non-biodegradable products. In our current economic state, however, doing so would destroy the little economic stability we've got left. Learn how our society works and go do something about it before you demonize it.

[KillaCam97]

O SHIT A ARABIAN NINJA!

[Ome99]

LOL, yaa, actually true.

But there is a reason for carrying knives, these yamanese, use to be traders, whom ships traveled from east in china to south africa, so they counters

[Ome99]

LOL, yaa, actually true.

But there is a reason for carrying knives, these yamanese, use to be traders, whom ships traveled from east in china to south africa, so they countered many pirates and they needed some protection.

Sorry i replied an incompleted sentence earlier, it was accidental.

[SAMLAD2k6]

why is it carved though.. surly a straight stabbing knife would be more lethal

[sanjostalker]

those are sick... are there any on ebay??

[foo6ah]

you must be cool

[dwale81]

shut the fuck up!! idiots dont make a chat from comments to discovery materials

[HoodClassick]

lol @ boilnose "poor rhino"

grow a dick you bitch

[tstftanner]

and your gonna kill a man for killing a rhino.with a shotgun when he has a knife. if and only if your theory is right you must have a small dick

[chrisc1187]

they dont even use them as weapons you moron, they're status symbols just like us with guns or cars. They would make a horrible weapon anyway as being a hooked-shaped knife

[Super02Civic]

boilnose

don't you people see what he s doing

he s craving attention

the attention he never got from his mommy and his daddy

just let this idiot talk shit

[Vegito426]

ur gay and quit tryiing to act hard white boy

[Vegito426]

ur stupid what does killing rhinos have to do with dicks

[AcePilot101]

Too bad about the rhinos..

Maybe they should switch to Bowie knives..

[Lunto88]

interesting vid

[ehlolz]

Would it be legal to walk down the street of New York, or Sydney carrying such an item? Even if you are in fact this particular nationatilty?

would u like to try & ride?!!!!!!!!!!

[tristsoldier]

"while americans would be appalled at the sight of men walking through town with daggers" whoever wrote this has never walked through east Newark, NJ or West Philly, or any town in West Virginia.

[bblubna]

no wonder the rhino's are being poached to extinction! no point here in seeing an issue both ways, there is only one way - stop killing the rhino's or other wildlife for your own prestige.

[julienl2006]

Or Kill Them To Compensate For The Wee...More Pride, Less Wars!

[mejordo]

What about the ceremonial 'sgian dubh' (pronounced skin doo) that is part of the traditional Scottish garb? My dad's in a Scottish pipe band and it is customary to tuck one of them into the garter of the sock. It's not otherworldly as you think....

[EliteBusJr]

i want one!!!

[xKCBEx]

The custom of wearing knives as a sign of manhood is common and used in several countries including but not limited to Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Yemen, India, Afghanistan, and Siberia. Not everyone obeys the custom, but be it a dirk, kindjal, kukri,jambia,or crys it's not so odd.

[cosmo1pug]

Ya National Geographic has gone downhill a bit since the internet. They have to hype their stories a bit. OH well thats progress.

[xKCBEx]

I suppose Cosmo1pug, it's nice of them to put something on youtube like this. what I was going for is that 1. It's not as different as it sounds. 2. It's not just a "crazy Arab" thing; even Europeans have the custom.

[foto101]

Interesting piece of the world. I hate american schools, they never taught me this stuff when I was going through, only about our american civil war and WW1+2... *sigh* There is so much more to the world then *OUR* history.

I would love to visit these countries and peoples for photography, but I am afraid they wont like me, since I am american. I think it's important to let people know about other countries and how they are also important in the world.

[bphilli3]

well be thankful for the internet for giving you opportunities to learn this sort of stuff

[foto101]

I think if I do get a teaching degree and stay here instead of moving on to a ncie cuontry I would like to show my students the world. Maybe once a month on a Friday I will have a video from National Geographic or something, just to make them think.

I don't care so much what conclusions they come up with [posative or negative], but I would like them to see the world outside of the US.

[SchmittySwitch]

thats exactly what we need, people to learn about the planet we live on. i hope you get your degree because bringing enlightenment to students is what teachers are supposed to do.

[cosmo1pug]

Your kinda of idiot uh? You probally already know that because others say it alot. There isn't much about other savage cultures to learn. I've seen most of what this small blue world has to offer and America is it. We are the one true hope of a stable world. The internet is only available uncensored in a few countries.  DEAL WITH IT. SUCK IT DRY

[foto101]

And the face of amerikan arrogance rears it's ugly head once agaim.

[cosmo1pug]

WOW good point. I'm glad you learned the American language foriegn dog. I bet you still dream of immigrating here even after bad mouthing us. Oh well you knowledge of english will protect you from harm little one.

[foto101]

Wow. Actually I was born and raised in Nevada jackass, so can bitch about amerika all I want. And my language is fine, by the way, it's "I bet you *ARE* still dreaming..."

[foto101]

The problem with people who think that the US is the center of the universe is, most of them have never left the US. They think what CNN and MTV tells them about another country isn't biased and completely hacked to pieces. We can't even do honest pieces about our own! Just look on Ebaums website and youll see a recent post where CNN make a wrestler look like a Steroid freak. Hurting others for money, sound familiar anyone?

[cosmo1pug]

I guess gansta. I bet you have a crapy job. LOL... Rest assured I don't! I speak 3 languages how about you? And your right you can bitch about America all you want just don't do it within reach of me. I can use my freedoms to give you a fat lip. Only cost me a few thousand dollars and a night in jail. But I would feel better. Oh and good luck traveling that requires money. LOL

[cosmo1pug]

AHH did i make the little babies mad?

AMERICA OWNS EVERYTHING.

DEAL WITH IT,  I RULE YOU, SUCK IT DRY

[SchmittySwitch]

fuck off knobhead your so fucking full of shit. america has one of the highest crime rates in the world. America is not the one true hope of a stable world, yes it is a great country(i fucking love you gun laws/clubs) but the only hope of a stable world is if country's work together and appreciate each others differences. dont call someone an idiot just becasue they want people to be informed about the world outside they own. you are a small minded person.

[Killa8]

Well said, that is what I always say. America is another world that stays ignorant of the rest of the world;hence, their knowledge is very limited about the world. I bet most of the can't survive outside america.

[cosmo1pug]

That is true that outside this American paradise it would be tougher. I wouldn't last 10 days in Africa or Columbia. But it is silly of you to say Americans are ignorant. We are huge!!!! and we will have the worlds resources. So either live here and bitch about stuff like the rest of us or live in your country that will soon find itself grinding to a halt without the oil we provide. DEAL WITH IT. SUCK IT DRY

[Seiku]

Wait what? Lol

[boredcloud]

Morocco is a fairly tourist-friendly Muslim country

[l33tskater]

With that in your belt, no one will ever fuck with you again. [Except for Chuck Norris]. xD

[mrnonameguy]

LOL xD

[yemeni92]

I,M FROM YEMEN

[bardabing]

Who needs a Ferrari when you can pick up a Harem full of hot chicks with a 12 inch Rhino horn knife... ROLF!!!

[boredcloud]

OK, I admit there are parts of the muslim world which are pretty medieval. I think theres some country somewhere (maybe afghanistan?) where it's illegal for women to drive cars :( but I just want people to remember the other side of the picture. Like how there are still many parts of Europe and America where homosexual marriage is still illegal

[Satan119]

i dont think not allowing gays to marry is the same as treating women lower then dogs

[boredcloud]

Youre overexaggerating. Women's rights vary across the Muslim world. In some parts they are treated lower than dogs, in other parts they are given a lot of respect. All Im saying is I want people to see the issue both ways. Have u seen the amount of sex in European society? wtf does shampoo have to do with orgasms? thats not exactly feminist

[Satan119]

im not sure what you where trying to say with that last comment but killing an endangered species in the name of tradition is wrong and must be stopped.

[hotncool008]

Do you think killing only endangered species is wrong or its just wrong to kill an animal? If former then why?

[Satan119]

it depends on why it is being killed, if it is being killed for food or to keep the population down then i am fine with it.

[boredcloud]

agreed. I don't think we in Europe have much moral high ground when it comes to animal rights though. and to clarify:

"All Im saying is I want people to see the issue both ways"

[chthonicfish]

Comparing a place where gays are executed by hanging or crushed under a wall to one where they can do as they please, except they can't legally marry is a a bit of stretch don't you think?

[boredcloud]

point taken. I suppose you could say denying homosexuals marriage rights is ignorant, but executing them is medieval.

[TheTallestTree]

I would hate to be an airport screener in Yemen.

[RyanLVMetal88]

boring

[NInjas0]

Cool...

[Beachapeeater]

uh, sure its a nice knife, but rhinos are nice too...i think ill stick with rhinos. so stupid that the rhino's are being killed for the sake of manhood..what kind of man runs a species to extinction for status. stupid

[lockheed123]

well i guess it is still part of people's tradition. Bit like the bear skins of the coldstream guards. If you try to put yourself in their culture and situation, it would seem almost stupid and embarrassing to you and others if you didn't have a knife. One person won't change their habits for the sake of a rhino if thousands of others dont either

[bezboznik84]

It doesn't take a psychologist to see that these guys must be seriously insecure about their dicks.

[InfidelOnTheGo]

They really live in the stone age in the muslim world.

[boredcloud]

...have u ever been to a muslim majority country?

[MrYapper07]

I prefer to live in a stone age than a boring city, by the way i grew up in a cave like a caveman.

[SchmittySwitch]

held back by religion, you gotta feel sorry for them.

[CompanionableIlls]

You gotta feel sorry for someone who can't differentiate between the obvious differences in religion and culture.

[mrnonameguy]

haha

[dafttool]

"These ornate girly knives...a sign of Yemeni manhood"?! I listened to it several times. If she meant "curly," I certainly didn't hear it.

The fact that they are responsible for the slaughter of endangered rhinos is outrageous.

[blaahx3]

I think she said "burly" ?

[dafttool]

That would make better sense. I think you're right.

[DigitalWoman1292]

I think she said or meant 'burly'.

[ginginnyme]

It is a beautiful piece of art, and status to those people. To look at I wonder why its curved at the end, does anyone know?

[mrnonameguy]

curved swords/daggers are superior to straight ones, from my knowledge they are a lot better in usage i mean

[Adinator87]

yeah thats right

[UtRadioGuy]

That's not a knife!

This, is a knife!
