Should Rex Applegate be put in the "Knife makers" category?Isaac Crumm 03:48, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure Applegate ever made any knives; I think, as a combat export, his role was primarily in the general design, with a bladesmith finalizing the design and building it. scot 17:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Sailors are not "Shanghai"-ed from Shanghai. They are Shanghai-ed onto merchant vessels for the long trip to shanghai from ports on the US Pacific Coast. It is an American term not a Chinese one.
- OK, I looked up the etymology and you are correct, it did come from the practice of kidnapping sailors to go to Shanghai. I always figured that the stereotypical sailor's desire for booze, bucks, and babes would have them flocking to Shanghai... I'll put in a few notes from Shanghai's history (opium trade, rebellion, and gansters) to justify that it was a nasty place to be a cop. scot 14:32, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I have been looking up many things related to fmfrp 12-80. I remember seeing it many times in different wikipedia articles, such as this one, point shooting and fairbairn sykes knife. Maybe it should have it's own article? I, as a user of wikipedia thinks so, but I'm not sure how to implement it.... Very New. Nic007. Nic007 10:32, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
