Nice knife but sheath looks in need of an upgrade...
The sheath is fine.Quote:

Strop it on the rough side of leather glued to a piece of ply. You rub stropping compound onto the leather (get it from DLT or KSF in the States. I use Black (course) and white (fine) - most people use black and green - green isn't as fine as white). You can buy stropping paddles too. For in the field you can get little stiff leather strops.
Don't use a steel on it.
You have a fantastic knife there and it will give you a lifetime of pleasure.
Elmax is great, and one sharpening will do a few deer.
That's one at the top:

And embarrassingly, here's another with a blue CTec handle.

Treat your wife well too, she's a gem. They mostly are. :)
Cheers for the tips mate, yep she's pretty sharp straight out of the box, first thing next year ill be buying some leather stops and compound, I don't mind the sheath it holds the knife nice and tight at the moment.
This is a Buck Master 184, survival knife.
The Buck-184 Buckmaster - The peak of survival knives!
I bought it in a mall in 1996 when working overseas, as you do...
It was just to cool not to have, needless to say its been a closet queen ever since...

OK I have to ask...What the hell are the two spiky things pointing back to where you would normally hold a knife for???Quote:

Yip, i think oneshot is correct, they could also be of use during a dual with a sword!
They do unscrew so you dont look to tactical with them, haha...
Its solid, if you like fishing no need for a boat anchor.
If you were strong enough to throw it the energy behind it would kill an army.
:)
So just to get my head around this......In tactical theory you would unscrew them and store them in some type of tactical pouch until you had a use for them?
Its called a tacticontainer vc ;)
The end of the handle unscrews, never tried to fit them so would think there is enough room.Quote:

The idea is that you drive the knife into something solid and you thread your roe around the spikes and use them for lowering yourself over a cliff:wtfsmilie:. Problem is you lose your knife
Purely a gimmick for those wanting something Tacticool. you would be better off tying a rope around a rock and throwing that instead.Quote:
