Survival Knife

[Chris Stoffel]

I am very perturbed. The voices spoke to me this morning. She said I must stop with all my crap. Sand anchors and snatch blocks. I must stop all that. Totally. I should concentrate on my survival knife. I must make it perfect. Practical. That is what what the voice said.

Daai stemme in jou kop maak my bekommerd, Chris !!!!!

[Chris Stoffel]

OK. I am back with photos. This is a Chinese copy of a M9 rifle bayonet. Not badly made but a very bad design. Very very bad.

[Chris Stoffel]

The M16 with bayonet. Just so that we are all on the same page.

[Chris Stoffel]

So, some dumb American person went and made the tang very short and made a pipe extension to which the handle is screwed onto. It is a weak point and if the knife is going to break, it will break just below the blade. The shiny round thing I made to replace the clip that clipped the bayonet to the rifle. The crappy Chinese clip broke.

Explain please

[Chris Stoffel]

Mike. The short tang is the problem. It screws in where the green arrows are. It is the weak point of the bayonet. Some makers have made a proper full length tang. And it is very thin/narrow.

Get yourself a proper Glock Knife.

[Chris Stoffel]

Very nice knife Grips. But where do you store your fish hooks and sinkers and gut and matches and boelie beef? There must be a pouch of some sort.
You gorrit?

There is a hollow section in the hand of the Glock knife but not big enough for much. Best place for a fishing hook is inside a plastic pill container with the line wound up around the outside of the container. Gorritttt?????

[Chris Stoffel]

Gorrittt. Thanks Paul. The hollow handle might be bolted to the blade with a very short tang. That is a weak point. If you ever have to stick your survival knive into a Whoolly Mammoth you don't want the blade to break. I assure you.

But my knife also have this weak handle setup.

If you guys are looking for the ultimate hollow handle survival knife, have a look at the Cold Steel Bushman. If you want the ultimate blade overall in all situations, have a look at the Cold Steel Khukri

What's with the little bits of wood? I thought that was what the knife was for.

... where do you put your 75cm length of piano wire for garotting people ?
