I had one I ordered out of the back of a magazine (forget which one). I broke the compass when for whatever reason I tried to use it as a throwing knife and it hit the tree compass first

Every kid I knew in the 80's had an official hollow handle knife with survival kit. It was the red Ryder b b gun of our generation. I personally carried 2 in the woods. One on a g.i pistol belt and the other carried on the shoulder strap of the l.b.e suspenders I wore to hold up the pistol belt. Handle down just like in the movie the green berets.

Did you cut a new slot for the top snap on the sheath so that the knife wasn't hanging out halfway on the LBE? I mean, I hear people did that... |

I have the 80's and Rambo to thank for my Gerber BMF and LMF knives. Still have them in mint condition and picked up a used BMF on Ebay to use for camping. The BMF's and sheaths with compass and sharpening stone are great in my opinion. Not sure why Gerber quit making them, guess they couldn't compete with the magazine ad versions.

About 50 years ago when I was in the Boy Scouts I needed a knife for camping. So I got me a Monarch "Original Bowie Knife". Had a 7 1/2" blade and I took it on every Boy Scout camp out I ever went on. It just stayed on my belt, but it was cool. Never used it for anything as there were no bears to fight off. It sat unloved in my toolbox for decades. A few years ago I brought it out, cleaned off the corrosion spots and finally put a decent edge on her. Still not used. but at least she is well cared for now. Once in awhile I check it out and put a little EEZOX on her. not my knife below that that is what it looked like.
The other knife that I have from those days was a Buck fishing knife. No longer made. Lent it to my father in law and he promptly lost it. I do miss that knife. It is no longer available

I found a Aitor Jungle King (but a older version) at a yard sale for a couple bucks. I never removed the widgets from their capsule but it had latex bands/pouch inside that could be used on the prongs of the sheath as a slingshot. It seemed well made for what it was. You could punch-out a roll pin and remove the blade.
I put it up on Ebay and got around $80.00 for it.

I had seen one back then and they wanted "big" bucks for it (no pun intended). Decided it was too much money - and it was a stupid decision. You had everything you needed in a survival knife and the propaganda at the time claimed you could rappel with it. Perfect for Tier 1 pretendos. |

Perfect for Tier 1 pretendos. My brother has one thats still in the box. It's a nice looking knife and pretty much sums-up the '80s to a tee. But it is very awkward to hold on to. I'll take my Cold Steel Recon Tanto over the #184 any day.

Lol, I'm sure they've always been around....14 bucks for a knife with no tang...that's gotta be quality. That's a feature. It slips over the end of a stick to make a spear. Where do you get the stick? From a tree felled by the little key-ring chainsaw and shaped by the serrations on the blade's spine. |
