USMC Marine Battalion Master Black MT? Anyone?
« on: March 02, 2012, 02:05:38 AM »
Again. I am a sucker for black MTs.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/190645084959?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619#ht_2059wt_1165

Anyone have any experience with it? Seems to be mystery steel (3Cr17?), anodized aluminium scales...

Don't know about the manufacturer but remember seeing one of those at eBay described as a CRKT knife :o

A version of that is marketed under the Sheffield brand as well.

That's good to hear.  I have been considering trying one of these out myself.

It is a cool design.  But I'll wait for the SOG Grant saw at the SHOT show :think:

Imo the pliers are about the same. the knife and screwdriver on the buck tool is a little better but these are still much better than other chinese tools

It's a generic Chinese piece.  Not worth much, definitely not worth $30.

3Cr17 is a 420J2 equivalent.
