Thought the same thing when I saw it. I do believe it's the exact same one.

[chiye tanka]

He77, I'll have to change it.

[crashdive123]

Not if you don't want to.

Ok, who's got it, and how's it going?

I have the pass around knife. Putting it through it's paces, as a knife, and as a spear. Trying to make the setup more secure for the bush and jungle use. I'm adding some items, etc. When I finish and pass it on, I will give a detailed report.

[Rick]

@ Pass Around Knife - When you get finished with the improvements on Gray Wolf can you give us a report?

[catfish10101]

I almost forgot about this thing. LOL. Only 2 more people before me, this one might just make it around!!!

Okay - Pass Around Knife #2 is now in my possession. Here are pictures of it as it currently looks:

As you can see in the picture below, the only thing that attaches the pouch to the knife sheath is tape. Alice clips are then used to attach the pouch to belt/pack/whatever. It's not a very sturdy rig and Gray Wolf said as much in a previous post. He had a friend that was going to work on it but that was before he was injured. So I'm going to see what I can do to work on it.

As the picture below shows, nothing is really attached. Everything sort of slides apart.

There is nothing that you can use to attach the sheath to a belt or alice clips. Some tape has been added to the handle. It doesn't feel bad but I don't know how it will feel working with it. The pouch isn't bad. It's made of nylon with velcro fasteners. There is a smaller external pouch and a larger pouch directly behind it. The smaller pouch currently contains about 10 feet of OD paracord.

Here are the rules reprinted from post 1.

Rules of the 2nd Pass Around Knife.
1. Use the knife to see how it holds up to whatever you need it for during outdoor work.
2. Add what you think would be good for that knife as a survival knife.
3. PM next person on the list for their address and mail knife to them so they in turn can test it out.
4. Anything someone believes should be added or taken away from the knife or sheath to make it a better survival knife is allowed.
5. Person sending the knife pays for all expenses of shipping to the next person on the
list.
6. After you have finished with the knife write a review of what you have done to the knife and how it performed for you ie. What you liked and disliked and what you did to make the knife better.
7. Do not worry if the blade is chipped or bent while trying the knife out that is expected in a product test and review.
At the end of this month I will post the list for the 2nd pass around knife and send it off to whoever is next, I have a running list of those who asked so far and will up date until the end of the month, once the list is posted it is closed. Once list is completed the knife is sent back to owner and he or she tests the knife with all survival add ons and does one last final review posting.
You must be at least 18 years old to this testing (no exceptions).

Be advised this all works on the honor system.

I'm going to add a limit of 30 days for holding the knife. Once you receive it then you need to do something with it so it can move on.

Finally, about half or more of those on the original list are no longer logging onto the forum so let's start a new list and see if we can keep this thing moving.

I'm still working on pass around knife #1.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

I'd like to be on the new list.

If I missed anyone or messed up the order let me know I will update as we go.

Hey Rick, how did it go from Greywolf to you? Looks like it skipped a few people.

(Watch me get banned for questioning the mod. LOL)

[flandersander]

I would also like to be on the list. Or is this a US only thing? As I am in Canada.

[Rick]

Catfish - Most of the folks on the list no longer log on and haven't been on for a while. I asked Gray Wolf to send it to me so we could start up a new list and get back on track with it. You'll notice, I'm not even on the list.

FS - Canadians are more than welcome and encouraged. Alaskans, too but we know how tough they are on equipment.

[chiye tanka]

Rick, add me to the list if you would be so kind.

[Rick]

Okay, I'll use this post to help keep track.

[flandersander]

Is that list in order rick?

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

I would prefer that those that were on the last list be given the first opportunity before me and the rest on the new list.

[catfish10101]

It's not a big deal. I just was making sure Rick didn't skip us all and that it was still going to come around someday. After all, HE WAS NOT ON THE LIST AT ALL!! LOL.
