There's only one. Bidding's over $8500 at present.
Just curious- most structural steel is A36 (I-beams and such); pretty low carbon and not heat-treatable.
One would need something added or a special piece of something else to make a KNIFE.(Crocodile Dundee accent applied)
Fluff. Bogus.
If the events of 9-11 didn’t harden your resolve enough to rip the throats out of all enemies foreign and domestic with merely your fingernails anything else is false.
And surely this is only my opinion, but if this is an attempt to win my heart and mind, try again.
Good story.
The WWII Marine K-Bar is going for about $85-$125. And that was common issue.
Anyone know what these Navy SEAL knives are priced at?
I made a knife from a Timken bearing made for some old piece of heavy equipment a couple of years ago, they call it 52100 steel I think, I had to learn a few things about heating and treating it, hardest part was getting the curves all straitened out, made a knife about 2” wide and 14’ long.
I have some pattern folded Damascus type of knives and if it comes to be I would like to build my own forge and hammer press, I just love Damascus knives. On Ebay you can get some really cheap ones from Ebay from Britain of all places, they may not have them legally but they sure make a lot, and I have one that isn’t some piece of cheap third world country crap, its really quite nice.
I want one.
Ditto. Guess I’m not gonna bid for it. Anything over $100 is out of my price range. LOL
I would not want one. It just seems too much of a gimmick. The Kabars are pretty much the standard but I never thought they were any better than other high quality such as the Cold Steel SRK.
To top it off they are pretty reasonable. I ordered a Swiss bayonet from CDNN and it looks very similar to the old Gerber Guardian. It is basically a long blade resembling the old Sykes-Fairbairne but with a longer blade and not quite as thin a point. I figure since it was made by Sig/Neuhausen that the quality would be first class. The only thing I don’t like about it is the handle tho with finger holds, is slippery metal. I simply wrapped it with several layers of athletic tape.
I once bought a Phrobis knife from a pawn shop in Black Mountain, NC. I could tell it was a nice knife and the sheath was exceptionally nice looking. I paid $20 for it and was sure I got a good deal.
The next day I was at a gun show in Asheville and as soon as I entered and turned right, I stopped at the first table. The guy asked me what I wanted for the knife and I said $50, thinking I would probably take $30. To my surprise he immediately handed me a $50 bill.
I still don’t know exactly what the knife was but it must have been a bargain at $50.
Very, very cool.
Too bad the blade wasn’t quenched, white hot, in Muslim blood.
