# 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:
