Quoting: Zoink [link to www.coldsteel.com (secure)] "With a durable sub-zero cryo-quenched German 4116 Stainless Steel clip point blade that is a full 1" wide and 5" long, it’s versatile enough to meet the demands of almost any survival situation.The hollow handle is made from the highest-grade Polypropylene available, and has an integral double quillon guard that serves to protect the fingers as well as making it possible to lash the handle to a stick to make an improvised spear. Plus, a twist of the waterproof cap reveals a large hollow handle that accommodates a generous survival kit! Finally, the Survival Edge comes complete with a weatherproof and super-light Secure-Ex sheath, and high-grade Ferrocerium fire steel." 4116 krup is the same as 420 really . not that great for much. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54028161 Of course they were junk, but back then, we were WOLVERINES!!!!! . Jedediah Eckert is my gamer handle. People these days don't know what it was like growing up in the cold war. I had full feature length dreams long before Red Dawn came out and when I first saw it I swore someone entered my dreams and put them on the big screen. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 8866268 United States 10/16/2019 11:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had one of those, but that was cheap and broke on me... I tried throwing it at a tree, like in the commercial, and the compass broke. I than removed the compass and tried throwing it again, this time it bent the hallow screw-on head on the handle for the compass, making screwing on the compass impossible. I then continued throwing the knife at the tree and then the whole blade broke off! It wasn’t a full tang through the pummel. I had to place the blade back into the hallow handle and pour a full bottle of glue down the handle to make the knife stay in place. The free sharpening stone wore down really quick too. POS but memories none the less. |

[link to www.ebay.com (secure)] I've had two of them, I bought the first one about 1981 or so.. the steel was brittle on those blades and I dropped it one winter hacking up firewood, it landed on a large rock and snapped the tip off. Buck warrantied it and sent another which I used for several years While I served in the ARMY.. As I said the blades were brittle and one night i landed on it during an airborne insertion and the blade broke off at the tang / guard junction. The M-9 bayonets were practically the same knife and they ended up having the same issues. |

Ya know , thats been my experience with every buck knife I ever owned except a Buck 199 Pilot . buck blades snap the tip . Period. I really wanted one of those new Buck 110 in CPM-s30v but didnt wanna spend that money on a tip that was probably going to break . |

You attached a can of R12 Freon to the bottom for the pressure and it sprayed BBs out (barely). The global warming fa$$ots would lose their minds now watching refrigerant being sprayed out like that.
