Awesome review of the 80's Hollow Handled Survival Knife!!

[@ericcowburn989]

What an idiot....how he handled that knife was stupid... first up The knife isn't full tang. second you don't split wood at all with a knife, you use a fucking hatchet or an Axe or splitter. remember right tool right job. This guy has clearly never heard this saying.

[@preparedmind101]

+Eric Cowburn Congratulations! You win a pin! Calling someone an idiot.... When it's a PARODY video about a POS knife in the 80's. 😂🤣😂😃

[@ericcowburn989]

PREPAREDMIND101 quick response. I'm impressed.

[@ericcowburn989]

PREPAREDMIND101 can you buy the knife again and do a proper review.

[@Ninebal]

Eric Cowburn Oh my ...... it hurts ...... buhahahahaha

[@survivalofthefittest409]

PREPAREDMIND101, I hope Eric doesn't forget his helmet when he goes out in public. I also hope he wash's his feet regularly cause I cant imagine foot in mouth every other minute tastes too good.. Ah well, I watched the whole thing Chris..but I really didn't need to know this was satire. Its like the saying goes; "some people have to be highly educated to be this stupid..and comment on YT video's." Off topic, you should do more PARODY video's like this Chris, your dry sense of humor is right up my alley :D

[@TheKimjoh560]

Almost everyone that bought these knives in the 80s survived. So theres that.

[@joelphelps5643]

TheKimjoh560 I guess you have a point, I had one and have survived this far. I wish I had that old knife now just for grins! 😁

[@veteranpatriot4474]

The fact that I bought that piece of shit in 85 and am still alive make me HATE YOU 😠 for pointing that out.

[@hal7444]

HAHAHAHA!!!

[@Tbone84_]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Alaska610ish]

TheKimjoh560 I loved that knife as a kid in the 80’s!

[@Alyosha-nm4io]

When I was a kid in the 80's I wanted one of these sooo bad, I remember some of my friends having them and I was jealous, finally got one when I was around 8 yrs old, that day was among the greatest days of my life.

[@russellhuston6481]

Me too.. best days of my life!

[@preparedmind101]

You guys realize they are STILL making this knife and commercials just like it? Google "Rocky Mountain Knife"

[@PreparednessUK]

Christ I had one of those when I was 12

[@hawknives]

You could sharpen that bottle opener and use it for a gut hook...and if you get thirsty, you could use the but of the handle like a hammer and drink the liquid in the compass. That handle does not hold up to warm weather very well. Got to love Becky!

[@JeffBluemel]

I remember having a couple of those back then...

[@richiesaidthat2198]

but dude, the Rambo knife is like totally radical- NOT!! lol awesome vid, thx 4 sharing!

[@MichelLinschoten]

Was the biggest piece of shit you could buy, and still is...i have it some were still ..

[@DJSERVANT777]

the reason your knife broke was because Rambo had a red bandana and tours was black! duh! get it right! lol funny video

[@vincelok894]

"These are the best selling knives of this kind sold by us"

[@mt_baldwin]

Yeah I started laughing there and couldn't recover for the rest of the vid!

[@jmuk3571]

Vince Lok. I know right. That's one of the best parts of the commercial. This is pretty damn funny

[@Starfighter9397]

"straight from a cow"... oh my goodness that really made me lol : )

[@e75channel]

hahahahaha..

[@Patriot-rising]

I remember them being more like straight from a vinyl cow... ? Not even leather at all.

[@TheMegadethMonk]

When I bought one of these, I thought it was the shit! I remember thinking, late at night, before going to sleep, that if a bad guy came in the house, then he'd be no match for my survival knife and the fishing line I'd use as a trip wire. Geeze, kids are dumb!

[@asterixky]

I still have this survival knife, and have been waiting 30 years (so far) for those Ruskies to invade us :)

[@TobiasMcGriff]

Wolverines!

[@Springfield_7.62x63mm]

[@jasonsimpkins2306]

[@jasonsimpkins2306]

I have it to including the survival kit inside

[@hal7444]

... Ain't happening yet? :D

[@scicero1]

I never thought I would hear "top quality twain made" with excitment in my life, thank you. My bucket list is complete.

[@IkaikaArnado]

Personally, I'd fill the handle with cocaine...

[@angieandgrantphillips8490]

damn straight! I will chew that f...n' tree down with my teeth.

[@LordHermanPRiehl]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😄😂😄😂

[@LordHermanPRiehl]

That's Really Messed Up Man! LOL!!!!! 😄😂

[@ricev7071]

Now that's an awesome way to survive, high as a kite!!

[@keithcitizen7314]

a nice stash for some blow.

[@NestorNegronDiaz]

I remember back in 1984 I was in 9th grade. Most of the boys in the school had this knife and we felt SOOOO macho with it. It was an adventure just to put it in your backpack and carry it on school, just enjoying the feeling of doing something "illegal". My backpack had one of those, and of course, the cassette of Iron Maiden's Live After Death.

[@NestorNegronDiaz]

This video is SO hilarious. We even put those knives as bike handles in order to make our bikes looked like Mad Max bike.

[@Isgrannyspry99]

I used to go over to my friends house for the weekend and pack all this stupid shit in my pack. If kids today did it they would be expelled. Back then it was boys being boys. Now it is a terrorist threat. You point your finger at a kid and say bang.... you get expelled. I miss the good old days of crappy knives and playboy magazine left sitting in your friends stepfathers garage. Good times,

[@preparedmind101]

Me too! You'd end up in Guantanamo now for the stuff I took to school on Friday to take to my friends house. Fireworks, knives, etc....

[@shaunbarnett2972]

Iron Maiden's Live After Death double album was one of their best live recordings. I used to listen to it every day. My favourite album though would have to be Seventh Son of A Seventh Son.

[@frankwarner970]

I am thoroughly impressed that you did this entire video without laughing..... especially when you were describing that high quality sheath. I was laughing through the whole thing. I remember when they used to have those commercials on TV!!

[@marcrhodes7177]

just remembered I have the complimentary knife too. it came with a leather sheath as well. I sawed a tree branch bigger than my leg with the saw. I was a badass 10 year old man.

[@timsmith7185]

That was awesome! So glad I found this video this morning. Brought back some memories. When I was a kid in the 80's we actually were required to get one of those by our Boy Scout troop before we went on our camping trip. We didn't actually use it for anything while we were camping, but we all awesomely had them strapped to our belts.

[@scotth2431]

I was so let down as a kid when I could not cut a tree down with that fucking cable saw.

[@michaelmatthews2759]

I can

[@ArcticGator]

Lol, "420 molecular steel" >_

[@dacritter8397]

Arctic Gator I ordered the non-molecular version, which is completely invisible to the naked (or otherwise) eye!

[@MeneTekelUpharsin]

Arctic Gator They knew only stoners and kids would buy it.

[@Typomixer15]

Now i use my survival knife as a bong 4 2 0 Blaze it with those waterproof matches

[@ozzyboy178]

Arctic Gator I don't know if that's even a steel

[@hal7444]

I own 420 & 440 steel knives (Gerber), & also these survival knives, can tell that they weren't made of that steel, by far :p

[@akeeperofoddknowledge4956]

Cracks me up every time I watch it! Chris, you deserve an Oscar or Emmy or wtf ever, just for keeping a straight face!

[@beltfed4624]

*Brother, you're always so seriously focused on reviewing good gear, that this parody was great! And yes, I had one of those, in the magical camo design that made me invisible in the woods in 1986... Now, I look back at those times and feel like facepalming myself. Every 10 year old boy had one of these, and we were part of the secret Wolverine resistance.* 😂😂😂

[@dtcepl]

In the mid 80s when i was serving in the Infantry, they introduced these knives to us and many of the rich guys brought it, not me as i didn't have the cash. Then, many are impressed with the compass and hollow handle which holds some survival stuff and of coursr a knife which have a saw edge!

[@natedunn5937]

Just came across this old video. Love it. Not sure how you did it with a straight face. Awesome job.

[@DustinBKerensky97]

I know this is satire but this is exactly how 75% of the prepper videos out there sound. Just replace "Commies" with "Terrorists", "Government", or "Hyperinflation"

[@thecriticalcriticshow9673]

The other 25% is random Mormons and atheists

[@dominiclaufenberg8677]

I think he means like how Mormons are famously preppers and how atheists actually pro-gun. ( at least all the ones I know )

[@behindthespotlight7983]

Whoops. Nine years later this aged like milk

[@bopeton]

Those split rings are for the cable saw haha. I used to have one of those when I was a kid.

[@_XR40_]

I got one as a kid too. Held on to the compass for years, since it very reliably pointed SouthEast...

[@phillipmccrevis4167]

Had one with the camo sheath , I even remember the commercial LOL .

[@joeybagofdonuts23]

Phillip McCrevis i still have one lol it has most of the kit still there minus the compass lol

[@urgumskurgum7570]

I've still got mine from the 80s. I've never needed to go shopping since. Best purchase EVER. Seriously though, when I was a kid back in the 80s , my cousin and me bought one each and genuinely felt we held a knife we could survive with ...if necessary 😂. Well , were both alive and so is our knifes .

[@99truewhatever93]

" this knife has a bottle opener so, if you find some beer in the woods and your trying to survive. You wont hurt your hands!" fucking pure gold!

[@jaynejennings5868]

Thanks! You convinced my son not to buy the hollow handle survival knife! Well done, Sir!!

[@honestdave]

Keep him from m-tech and lion ocean and he'll be safe

[@KINGTERRIFY420blazeit]

This is without a doubt one of the best reviews of all time. fucking hilarious and well done. Earned a new subscriber.

[@DarienSeminoff]

I had too watch this in 360p.... It made it so much more realistic....

[@jacobbcox1985]

At 144p it looks even better

[@Standswithabeer]

I have a Saburo "Survival Master" ... hollow handle, but forged aluminum & blade goes into the handle about two inches. Actually a pretty sturdy, batonable knife. Excellent blade; handmade stainless steel-- Japan from the late 80's.

[@vi3tluong]

My parents came to America from the Vietnam war. Fortunately I was born and raised in America. I envy you for getting to even order cool toys like that in the 80s. I enjoy the vid a lot even though it’s been years since this was created. I hope all is well with you. God bless you Chris.

[@georgespeck2289]

back in the early 1980"s I bought a life knife, survival knife and still have the knife. leather sheath, sharpening stone, and a few survival items in the handle. a screw on but cap and a but cap compass. still have it.perfect shape. don't know where i bought it. Or what I payed for it. thanks for the video

[@lambert2969]

Yep... I had that exact knife. 'Painted' the blade black with a sharpie. (quality job befitting the quality of the knife). The survival kit seems to have decreased in quality since the 80s, which is hard to believe. The SAS wire saw broke the first time I used it. I remember wrecking the blade trying to sharpen it with that stone. I also had the amazing hollow handled survival knife that had the sling shot and the harpoon in a stainless steel tray inside the plastic holster, better quality but still utter utter crap.

[@Fischxx1]

OMG you bring back my childhood i had the same issues on my one the blade did come loose the nut actually did come loose in it !!

[@hal7444]

Geez you enlisted my own experiences as well, except for the last part; I saw that other survival knife with the slingshot & harpoon at a hardware store & I died in envy to own it. Never did. I mean, I never owned one, nor died at the time (go figure). Came to learn, through the cutlery I have owned, that 99% of the knifes sold as survival types are (what you said? ah yes) utter utter crap (LOL). 420 molecular steel, my ass. It's like they used leaf springs taken from defunct cars in the junkyard to make the blades. The plastic cap with the compass was big as a ball for a car's gear stick and the compass itself worked until the second time you hit a branch with the knife.

[@hal7444]

@ What was that about a knife with a grappling hook??? Spoilers: you haven't answered & I'm already LOL

[@vominator]

I got mine ... "r-r-r-razor sharp!" it wasn't. also the "tang" was also just a bolt. Arrived broken. threw it out.

[@TS-ir8xt]

I bought several of these at flea markets and gas stations back in the 80s ,either $5 or $7 each ,they were the best ..when you were a kid... it's awesome to see them again..

[@cybersam2766]

“it might even float if you drop it in the water” OMG I laughed so hard after that man… epic.

[@volcanowb]

I got one as gift back in the early eighties. LMAO

[@tecnotrog1]

I love this video. Giving away my age but I had one as a kid ..still do actually. And it probably would float. .crap normally does . Again ...funny good job

[@azamythbrewmeanie]

they are the best selling survival knives ever sold by us lmao

[@e75channel]

The knife cormercial advertisment.. 🤣🤣🤣 This video really nailed it. Well done.. perfect for this knife. 😅

[@justafanmarvel9669]

I hope everyone realizes that these knives were sold as kids toys in the 80's and generally could be had for about 5 bucks... 10 at the high end... keeping that in mind it shows how much cooler the 80's were that kids were given real knives to go play with. Imagine that today... this society would have a heart attack!

[@capnrob97]

My Dad bought me a Buck 105 knife when I was 10 years old, it was a different era for sure.

[@Molokairider]

Funny vid dude. Don't worry bout the trolls and little kiddies that like to post derogatory idiocy. They apparently did not receive enough spankings as a child. What's even more funny is they watch your vids...money in the bank bro. I think maybe they forget KZbin is not gospel but rather a place to post entertainment, opinions, and ideas.

[@rockinron4031]

I saw those plastic handled survival knives for sale at a local flea market for $10 about a year ago and they're the worst ones and most of them have steel handles. I have one that has about a 10 inch long blade and the knife and blade are two pieces that I don't use for anything and just collect right now but I doubt if any of the hollow handle survival knives would stand up to any real or rugged use though.

rockinron40 sir, you've obviously not seen RAMBO!!!

[@0Concept14]

420 molecular stainless? s110v for the win.

[@DanielTPeace]

Excellent video, I laughed the whole time. Great humor, and if you remember back in the day when the commercial was aired how crazy this survival knife fad was. Great parody.

[@beltfed4624]

*I must have gotten the super-duper deluxe edition, because it had a cast aluminum handle, the blade got loose all the time, but it survived long enough for me to learn just how awful it was compared to my dad's Kabar from Vietnam. That blade must have been made from some real special stainless, because I never seen one of these knives that was sharp, that's why none of us kids ever got hurt. If we could've gotten BK9's back then, there would be a bunch of grown men nicknamed Stumpy or Stubs.* 😅

[@hal7444]

Well enter the owner of the sole truly sharp survival knife. My dad had taught me how to sharpen & hone, & mine was really sharp. Fortunately, I never did anything deeply stupid with it while wearing it into that awful sheath on my waist. Otherwise I'd be already dead :P

[@SliverGhost164]

OMG I DIED!!! BATONING!!!!!! DEAD

[@shaunbarnett2972]

Yea I admit back in the late 80s I definitely wanted a rambo knife with the fishing kit in the hollow handle. I heard about some other guys at school who had one and Oh how I admired them. I thought, wow no matter what the situation they found themselves in, they would survive no problem with that knife.

[@ikadan]

I don't know how you kept a straight face trough that. Awesome review! :D

[@H4x0r1]

[@BLUEFOX7001]

This is a joke right !? If not this guy is crazy :)

[@wynandjohankoegelenberg1516]

HaHaHa Chris; you made me laugh out loud. I just turned 46 today and vividly remember the Rambo movies. As a 13 or 14 year old, I simply HAD TO HAVE one of these awesome knives (in case of, you know, invaders and such...) So I saved up my pocket money until I could afford one. I am South African; we didn't have access to the ease of ordering as in the USA those days, and foreign-made items were expensive. When I opened the box it came in, I had the exact reaction as you did: Why does the entire ensemble look so cheap? Is this flimsy sheath supposed to be leather? Why does the blade look so puny as compared to the movie? Why is the compass swiveling all over the fucking place (it should point to North), And then I unscrewed the back and got all this cheap-ass crap out of the back in little plastic bags? I was so disappointed! But I gave that knife the benefit of the doubt and went into the woods (well, just beyond the back-yard) and hacked at a tree limb. Chop three and the blade went flying and I have the handle in my hand. I wanted to burst into tears (the want & desire, the saving up, the ordering and the wait, the anticipation - and then BAM, reality bites so very, very hard); but I couldn't because I am a boy and I was 14. I think I grew up that day. Thanks so much for posting this. I had a real good laugh.

[@sergioc.7910]

HA HA HA PURE GOLD The last paragraph you typed the way you describe the anticipation, then breaking it right away, then wanting to cry, ha ha ha thank you for the laughs.

[@rapskallion]

Great story.

[@tojiroh]

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... Cheers from a former Transvaaler. :-)

[@MrRugercat45]

That is EXACTLY what happened to my knife! I had one of the ultra-cheap $4.99 ones because I couldn't afford more (hell, $4.99 was a LOT to me!) I didn't get allowance, and when I did, it was $5 a week.Well, I went to Wynn's (the "gun/ammo/everything else sporting store around here-I LIVED there!) I looked at all of the hollow handle knives-they all cost so MUCH! I asked were was the $5 one, and my dad consented grudgingly to that one. Well, mine went to pieces on the FIRST chop. I whacked an oak tree like 2 feet across-what did I think was gonna happen? Shwing-and it cuts thru it like Excalibur? Guess so. It busted off at the grip and I probably did cry, that knife was hard won. The next day I begged to go back and get another, and shockingly I got it. I didn't whack any trees with THAT one! These were so crappy that they didn't even have points-they were rounded off! Probably meant for kids-ah those were the days-no political correctness, and kids could (usually) buy knives, throwing stars, nunchucks, whatever, and if the guy at the counter gave you any guff, you just brought your mom or dad, (or whatever-a stranger would do)and had them nod approval for the purchase. Nice video, brought back memories.

[@rapskallion]

MrRugercat45 Thanks for the laugh. Of course I had one too. I never did open the little bag in the handle with 3 or 4 matches, a fish hook, a couple of split shot weights, and some string or monofilament. Yeah, it was truly junk. I was afraid to use the blade. I think all I ever tried using was the saw on the back of the blade and discovered that by making it look aggressive they made the saw teeth too coarse and it was worthless as well! If you're old enough tell me if you ever bought something in a comic book ad (like X-Ray Glasses)! I guess boys are naturally gullible.

[@papiringo-cv8gr]

my mans look like the kid from lazy town stingy !!!

[@frankyalvarez7160]

My grandpa actually bought this knife from the commercial I still have the dang thing. He bought the fact one from the commercial with the sharpening stone and sheath and it has a small "survival" kit in the handle. That is hilariously ironic. Hahahahaha

God, I remember those knives were everywhere back in the 80’s. I think I still have 2 or 3 laying around in the garage.

This "commercial" is completely hilarious!!! Thank you for the laughs!

[@roosternm6830]

I think every kid in town got one of these cheap knifes for Christmas or birthday in the early 80s after Rambo came out. I broke the blade off of mine and my uncle got me a Buck Buckmaster survival knife for christmas of 85. I thought I was the coolest kid in town. All my buddies loved it. I still have it. Thanks uncle Bob

[@shotgunismymiddlename3331]

"stick em in the tree and snap the tip off" died there 😅

[@KandaJE]

The very best example for WHY batoning a perfectly burnable log with a knife is such an absurd idea! Perfect! I asked a Gerber Rep - Years ago, What he thought of Batoning. He admitted that it was pure Marketing nonsense. He said : Quote - I don't know who thought it up, but I've sold more knives since that stupid idea came out.... These silly things have been around since at LEAST the mid - 60s. These were the typical "Gift" that Dad would dole out, when you pestered him too much about wanting your own knife. These and plastic binoculars... Love the Video! Absolutely entertaining! Thanx!

[@f308gtb1977]

I had that knife when I was a kid, in camouflage. The wire saw (that the split rings go on the ends of) broke when I tried to unfold it, it was creased so hard! Then the blade nut came loose. The saw is rounded and couldn’t saw through play dough. Worst balance, about impossible to sharpen, the vinyl-laminate sheath tore within a few days... I could go on and on. But before it arrived, I just KNEW it would be the coolest knife ever.

[@deputyprepper4931]

I just now found this video, Chris you are an awseome looking Rambo, I had one as a kid and it got stolen at boy scout camp.

[@hopefulskeptic42]

Having a hard...time...catching my...breath from laughing...my ass off! I was a 12 year old tom girl in the eighties, and like everyone else, I had to have one. Thank you Chris for making this video and taking us on a trip down memory lane.

[@davidaylsworth8964]

ROFLMAO. I've still got my camo-rambo knife. My most embarrassing outdoors purchase to date. It got the biggest laugh when I pull it out at a guys weekend and said, "Hah! That's not a knife! Neither is this!" Thanks for the flashback Chris.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

It took me a few minutes to realize this wasn't a crazy dude who was going to hurt someone lol. The crazy eyes, pulled it off very well! My wife pointed a similar knife out to me today at a local fish and game shop. I laughed and said i would have loved it when i had my Rambo bigwheel. Carrying around rocks for ammo and a stick just somehow wasn't nearly as badass...

[@chadreilly]

"Molecular" stainless steel. I had that knife. It held up through adolescence, so can't fault it.

[@robertlong5221]

Love it. Was explaining to my kid about there knives which is how I found this. I think every kid in South Florida c. 1986 bought one of these from the local flea market . I'd like to find one out of nostalgia but they all seem to have the header "rare-collectable-vintage-etc-etc" and very optimistic price tags.

[@capnrob97]

I just bought a brand new in the box one on eBay for $14.

[@daw162]

"you can keep the sheath and sharpening stone free, even if you decide to return the survivor knife. " .....what an offer!! (of course, I had one of these, just like lots of other folks. My compass never had enough liquid in it for the compass to turn, and I rubbed the sharpening stone on it for a long time and it never got sharp, but it brings back good memories!).

[@preparedmind101]

+David W You're still alive aren't you? Proof it did its job.

[@ricev7071]

My dad got me this knife for my 11th birthday. These knives were popular but they came loose easy because the blade is screwed down in the hollow handle so you need a deep well socket wrench to fix them. My dad came to visit from the U.S. and he just ordered me a black version of Rambo's bowie knife from Rambo First Blood pt.2 I can't wait to get it, it's so badass, it even comes with ferro rods. Honestly, I wouldn't mind having the Survivor Knife all over again as well. But if I ever got it again, I would weld the blade to the handle after securing it tightly with a wrench, It's the only way it would last and be able to take any real abuse.

[@juangonzalez9848]

Love my bk-16. Carry it at work all the time as a utility tool, clipped the tip off to use it as a screw driver so as no to walk a half mile back for one.

[@kellywright540]

I remember going fishing with some friends back in the mid eighties. As I was cleaning out my truck the next day, I came across one of these knives with some other junk. I remembered that my friend Jess said he had one of these knives so I called him and let him know that I found it. He was like keep, use it for planting flowers or tomatoes because that's all it worth. I stashed it in my garage and it is still there today, June of 2024. Personally, I wouldn't use it to plant flowers or tomatoes because that would be an insult to the plants!! 😂 Now I DO have a Parker Cutlery survival knife that someone gave me in the early eighties and I was offered $200 for it by a knife collector like five years ago. I'll just hang on to that one a little longer...

[@Eurotrash4367]

The reason they allow you to keep the sheath if you decide to return the knife is because the additional shipping cost to mail the sheath back is 3 times it's value. They save money by allowing customers to keep it.

[@ryankraus6936]

Dude, not sure how you made this video with a straight face. I'd be cracking up the entire time.

that knife bring s back so many memories, I was a teenager in the 80s and was really into ninjas and martial arts movies, that knife was in the back of soldier of fortune and ninja magazines, when I had it as a kid I felt like such a bad ass, thank goodness I never had to rely on it! Lol , awesome memories though, excellent video review, I'm putting it on my vhs tapes along with my copy of Rambo:1st blood!

"I could even saw it, if I wanted to, but I don't want to" I am cracking the freak up

LOL That was cool! I just bought one at a yard sale. It's one of the 80's TV versions. All the survival stuff is still in the handle. Untouched!!! I'm just gonna hang in on the wall to impress people with how utterly cool it is. :)

I had two when I was a kid and both went away and fell apart, now I got another one, have it to show to others for memory sake.

Love it! I still have mine from the 80's! Except mine has a metal textured grip. Not going to baton with it because it has to much nostalgia for me.

[@gooutsideandplay4975]

oh man. when you went to baton with the rambo knife and it broke, I legit laughed out loud. Not a lol, or teehee, but fully belly laugh! Thank you for that! That was awesome!

[@raythompson5087]

I remember these knives and that commercial. I might have had one of these. I snorted beer out my nose when you tried to baton the log. Oh, shit!!!!

[@dphill96]

A great parody video, made me laugh, thank you. Can't believe I just barely came across this.

[@FatherOfAnAngelOct]

I had one when I was a kid. This brings back memories..

[@debaser71]

hehe but in the 80's we had the knife sharpening truck that would drive around like the ice cream truck...but instead of running down the road to with a handful of dollars to catch up to it and buy ice cream, grandma would give us a handful of knives and scissors to run down the block to catch up to the sharpening truck.

[@devinczarnecki8988]

that first batton hit when the knife broke made me laugh my ass off....lol

The state-of-the-art feature is the bottle opener. Cause that's the very first thing you need when you get lost in the wild :D

[@pinoywheelgunner]

I never realized the disadvantage of a hollow handled knife until I got into knives

[@Woden81]

I remember buying that knife back in the 90's, they where great for the price

The rings are multi use. Trip wires, traps, snares and such can use them. They can also be used in simular ways as a D ring for a pulley system, not major weight but still. )
