Buck BU184 "Buckmaster": Regrind done by Tom Krein

[Dtrain]

I think it looks better than new. I have one myself, I always wanted one when I was in the Army many years ago. I guess I had visions of me bieng the next Rambo or something. Many years past then one day about 7 or 8 years ago I hornswoggled one that my father had picked up somewhere at a gunshow. I have taken it camping a few times,and when I first started running over the road it rode in my Semi as my heavy duty do all fixed blade.

They are heavy, and a bit akward to cut with or carry, but I like mine. I think if Buck had gone a bit differently with it they really would have had something.

Is there a thread about that knife already? If there is please point me there thanks. If none what the heck is those 2 protruding metal on the handle? Is that a detachable magnesium fire starter or just a hand guard?

To my knowledge they are just guards. They don't work for me because my hand is too big. I have to take the guards off to use the knife.

Belive it or not there actually grappling hooks

Throwing a grapple is hard enough, let alone having 7 1/2 inches of cold stlle attached to it

So... just don't use around the rest of your unit ('cause you're swinging a friggin' knife around). Especially for disarming improvised explosives ('cause it'd be clumsy as hell)?
