Survival knife review!

[jzmtl]

I'm sure we've all seen the 1980's commercial for the super "420 molecular stainless" survival knife, here's a review for it, interesting to see it up close and even bigger piece of crap than the commercial showed. 

If you haven't thou watch the second video first!

I had one of these in my youth cause i was practicing to be Rambo

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Yep I had one of those too

[Chako]

Same here. 

That review is bang on. Mine didn't last very long in my youth. The handle came away from the blade on a short camping trip with the family after owning it for all of 2 weeks!

 I still have mine but the sheath and "survival gear" from the handle is long gone. I use it to dig in the dirt and practice my sharping skills on it.

 I have the camo version and the compass still works. I can't even remember when I got it but think it was a Christmas gift.

I have to admit I really wanted one as a kid; luckily my Dad wouldn't let me get one and pointed me towards a simple fixed blade.

[John]

I had one similar I used it as a spear and it snapped!  surprise surprise     

[american lockpicker]

I never had one.

[Bowman1911]

Yeah, I had 1. As well as nice, (as in respectably expensive) throwing stars & knives, & a couple push daggers. My oldest brother was a knife dealer, & I thought I was Rambo for a couple years.

[Freudian Frog]

Even if there was such a period in my life I would never admit to it.

I think the only sword I have was a present from a friend... I guess the big knives though...

Atleast I've never bought a survival knife. =P

Something similar was in a box of knives someone tried to sell me.  

"I've got some knives if you wanna take a look...like old army knives."

"Sure!"


It was a box of about 10-12 fantasy/garbage knives you'd see at flea markets

Anyways if I was 13 that cheap hollow handled knife would have been my holy grail
