Thread: Combat Knives?

Right, back on subject.

Here is a cool old knife which I am still allowed to own. It is a WW2 issue Case XX Quartermaster knife. Still takes a great edge, and I really like the feel of this style of leather handle. Much nicer in the hand than the modern KaBars.

I do like the look of that . Question about the fuller though, with a fuller that isn't that long do you think it actually affects the weight much ?


In the absence of light don't pray for a miracle use night vision.

These don't belong to me but thought they were worthy of drooling over.
I like the looks of Damascus but would be Leary of using I wouldn't want to ruin the beauty.

Just to try and put that Case XX of legion's in it's place, and a few more based on Grizzly1's theory that any knife can be used in combat and thus can be called a combat knife.

Ka-Bar of WWII vintage





A custom and two boot styles





The two boot knives, the larger of which is set up in a shoulder rig that can be swaped out to wear on the belt or in the boot.





Two customs. The larger one is made by a mate of mine who I kicked off into knife making some years back, the smaller (shorter) is the last one I made myself...Some years back.

I like your KaBar style one Mick. I have an air crew survival knife made by Camillus. It has some grey paint on the pommel, indicating that it was issued to a naval aviator.

Hello gents, first of all I'm sorry about the absence of pictures. If you hand me a firearms I can figure out how to field strip it, clean, lube and fire it in about 10 minutes but cameras are beyond me. So I'll have my sister give me a hand with it when she gets in from Nashville this weekend. But as I mentioned before I'd like to get the BK 14 a bit sharper and have bought a lansky fine grit hone. Me questions are do I need to lap said hone and my father raised the question would it be wise to use it for touch ups on my razors?

P.S. Some kids may not be good with their hands but through the years I've earned a PHD in Jerry rigging and home made trouble inducing tools

the lansky fine grit hones would not work for razors. They are around 700-1000 grit if i remember correctly.
