Hey! Does anyone know where I can get a replacement retainer for that Eternal dive knife? You used to be able to pick one up in any dive shop, but no one seems to Carry them any more. The knife is still in production. By Valor now. They didn't even change the box. Another cool note about that knife- You used to get a G.I. Joe sized copy with the Frogman G.I.Joe back in the 70's. I guess I'm showing my age lol. :)

Garage sales, flea markets (but you will probably get a knife with it an have the same dilema) Somebody posted, and there are a few good videos on youtube about making your own kydex sheaths - could probably do something similar with plastic.

The Randall was offered to me at a unbelievable deal ( $45 and the Isotoner driving gloves I was wearing at the moment ), The diving knives were for a specific purpose ( I scuba dive ), and the Schrade Walden skinner was my Grandfathers. :)

I have a new in box Valor incarnation of this knife I have never used. For $14.95 I bought another to keep in storage in case the knife was discontinued and my current one was broken etc. I think you are right about making a kydex sheath for it. I have been reading up on it and it seems easy to do though I haven't tried yet. When I do I will post pics.

Does anyone know about USA Saber knives? I saw one here in a military surplus store. It has about a 4 inch blade. Most knives here of supposed named brands are counterfeit, but I think this one may be genuine. It is fairly cheap and is nice looking survival knife.

If you are talking about one of these while they look interesting I do not think they are probably considered a "good" knife. Their own description says decent quality. But hey, for less than 8 bucks.....

Crashdive Thanks for photos, but the one for sale here is much smaller and has about a 4 inch blade and what looks like a rosewood handle.

If you like it, and since it costs under $10 what could you be out? Other than the $10.

Those are in the S.M.K.W. catalog all the time. I am sure that they are made in Asia somewhere so that one could easily be for real.

i got a surprise package in the mail yesterday. long story short, my birthday is 2/03/09 and my girlfriend got me a knife from Scrap Yard for my bday! and even better its the limited edition Muk with serial# 203 which is my bday! shes so amazing. this knife is really nice. the curves on the knife are beautiful and it balances in the hand very nice. its very sharp and probably has the most comfortable handle ive held. ill post some pics of it soon.

She sounds like a keeper. I'd hang onto the girlfriend too.

Somebody wanted to see the mods I did to my kukri (I based them on the info from the M40 site). The second pic shows the contents of the fire kit attached to the sheath.

Nice work, Crash! I guess you're the Modifying Moderator! :innocent:

That was my first attempt. I don't care for the way the sheath came out (Rick did one that looks like it came out better) I just picked up another kukri - I'll try something a little different this time.

Hey Tonester - if you ever decide that you don't want to keep her around, let me know ----- the knife, not the girl friend.:)

Yeah, I built a kurki and a machete using M40s instructions.

Where at did yall get those khuks and are they decent quality?
03-19-2009, 01:34 PM

RX - It's been so long, I don't remember. You can check out M40s reviews though.

http://www.m4040.com/Knifemaking/REVIEWS/BladeEvals.htm

I'll look around and see if I can figured out where I ordered it. Yeah, it's good quality. I don't have any trouble with it at all. I got it pretty cheap, too. So even if I were to break it I won't be out much.
03-19-2009, 01:37 PM
crashdive123

I picked them up at a local gun show. You couldn't hurt or break these if you tried - and yeah, they're a bit heavy. I've got a couple of others that look good, but are of lesser quality.

Ok, thanks!

RX - judging from the thickness of the blades (stamped India) I'd say they started out life as a truck leaf spring.

Ok. I read elsewhere that the place he got his modified khukuri from was no good. Just wanted to be sure.

Welcome to the forum. Nice pics. Why not chop and slice your way over to the Introduction section and tells about yourself.

Hey Lsutiger1010 - Random from the chat :)

Are you going to be trying to get the new offering from Busse? The Killa Zilla? Or are you waiting for the next Scrap Yard?

Hey lsutiger! How did you do the patina on the Opinel? That looks way cool!!!! Almost looks like a blotch camo.

You got the NMSFNO :)

I can't get it either, so no hard feelings there.

I think my RC 5 and my custom Koyote will more than suffice.
