I believe that one of our members designed it and holds the patent on the Seal Revolver.

I do not fear the knife it is at least as strong as any folding knife out there. If the pin did drop out or some other phenomenan the blade would probably fal prey to gravity and stay in the sheath or hit the ground.

[tonester]

hey HOP that becker campanion looks really nice!

[HOP]

Tonester it is one of the old ones made bt Camilus for Becker they don't make them anymore . K-bar is making the Becker design now and they are caling the one that looks like the campanion the champion and they are out along with a becker necker as well.
Is that a RAT Cutlery RC-4 in you avatar?

I Was Looking At Getting The Benchmade NRA Hunter's Pack. Has Anyone Used It? I'm Curious As To How Well It Works.

[HOP]

I have heard god things about the Benchmade NRA stuf on a knife forum I go to . I have one benchmade knife it is a folder the Presedio and it is of top quality. Some of the guys on bladeforums can be a little snobish about knives but they are quite knowledgeable about the uses of a knife and this one gets good marks.

I have had a Ka-Bar model for a couple of years and am very happy with the durability of the knife itself. The scabbard on the other hand is complete trash... Starting a new one in the shop this week. I have some HDPE that I am going to attempt to use.

Hey you got yours from Kukri house, that's where I got my Gurkah kukri. It is amazing, I think that all the stuff they make there at KUkri House, is very very high quality and utilitarian. I love my kukri, it's my favorite knife.

[bulrush]

Could someone please tell me what the weird notch on the blade, near the handle, is for? Is it for striking flints to make fire?

haha i was thinking the same thing. every time i see one i always wonder why that is there.

[RangerXanatos]

I understand that perhaps no one really knows though there are some good suggestions.

Some say the first person to make the type of knife used it as a signature.
Some say it is a mark of one of their Gods.
Some say it's a point for blood to run off so it won't make the handle slippery since it's also designed for use as a weapon.
Some say it's all of the above, though I lean toward the last reasoning.

Nepalese kukris after 1800 will always have a notch or kauri commonly referred to as a cho cut into the blade directly in front of the grip and bolster. The kauri is greatly disputed as to its necessity: Is it a practical design to catch and neutralize and enemy’s blade or a Hindu religious symbol representing male or female organs, or does it represent the sacred cow’s hoof? Many Indian and very early Nepalese versions will not have this notch nor will some later military kukris. Kamis would display their skill by forming this small part of the blade into designs and even fleur de lys or other floriate shapes. Now that sure clears it up don't it?

[BaerClaw]

was wondering if anyone has made one of these small knives and if you feel like they would be adequate in an emergency kit. i like it and i think it's a clever idea just don't know how it would do. it would make a good knife for a kit. here's the link sorry if this has been covered but i couldn't find anything on it.

Yep - I've made about a dozen or so of them. How about dropping by the introduction section when you get a chance and tell us a bit about yourself. Thanks.

[Gray Wolf]

I've made quite a few of them. Made all different types of modifications using the basic design. One mod is great for spear fishing. Many thanks to M4040 for lots of great ideas.

There used to be a nifty little knife called the Christy Knife company out of Ohio. Unfortunately, the old man recently passed away and the son is in the process of relocating the shop or something. I spoke with the mom a couple of months ago and she said they hoped to be producing them again "soon" (whatever that means).

As for the hacksaw knife, just follow M40s directions. If you don't have a belt sander use a dremel tool or even a file.
