Description
Along with the Bowie-style knife, this little gem was there - in this case it is a 'hunting' knife - however with a blade length of 3" (7.9cm) and a total length of almost 7" (17.65cm) it has one advantage that none of the other blades I own has - A fire starting system (the small rod at the top) so one does not have to rely on matches or a lighter to get a fire started. Considering that I live near some dormant volcanos (Mt. Saint Helens for one) the ability to get a fire going in a short time is crucial - matches can get wet and lighters can run out of fuel. This, with a basic understanding of survival knowledge, will determine my fate.
thank you for the wonderful and interesting comments and faves
have a great week

good image!
i like that grip, cool knife Mike.
Okay Mike, you got me on this one. I've never seen a knife with a fire starting system before, this is super cool.
EXCELLENT INFO ON THE BLADE ,I TAKE IT TO BE SOME SORT OF FLINT ROD NEVER KNOW YOU COULD STILL GET THEM , I TAKE A SMALL MAGNO GLASS WITH ME AS BACK UP, OR THE MISSES GETS ME HOT UNDER THE COLAR LOL AS FOR MT ST HELENS ,YOU ONE BRAVE FELLOW IF YOU CAMP UP THERE ,,,,,
Great capture Mike. Your collection just keeps getting better and better.
Awesome Capture Mike!
Cool capture, Mike!!
Beats a pair of rocks. Lol. This is a very cool one, Mike. Super acquisition! ")
Cool, but good luck finding dry wood! ;)
Sweet looking survival knife...I guess your set for what ever comes...
A fine shot of these handy objects.
My friend, I applaud you for these images you're sharing. These are more than pictures of blades, imo. If I'm reading you right and I think I am, these are images of survival, self-reliance, and emergency preparedness. Quick story if it's okay? Hurricane Irene blew through Pennsylvania last year. The power was out for three days. My God. Do we take anything more for granted than electricity? But here's my point. I have a solar panel, an Optima deep cycle battery, and a power inverter to compliment my gas-powered generator. I ran my TV, computer, & modem off the deep cycle battery at night because the generator is so loud. Not to mention that gasoline will be unavailable in a prolonged event. And I'll be adding to my solar setup this Summer too. What I have basically assembled for now is a portable solar generator. Really cool. Anyhow, I think you are providing an excellent community service here! Takes lots of guts to talk about stuff like this. Most people don't want to think about it until it's too late. PS ... I wondered if the handle was hollow on the survival knife the other night. :) Best wishes! James
Quite an interesting collection you have, Mike! I remember seeing an ad for something like this in an outdoor magazine some time ago.
all of that is great but how does one out run a volcano eruption? very fast I would suppose. outstanding knife shot
Nice with the person cord wrapped handle gives you lashings to make stuff
i agree with greyone about your collection just keeps on growing, excellent photo shot!:)*5
Very nice! And it's short enough that you can take it with you and not run into problems with the police, too!
a crash course - thanks for the info!
Great Mike!! You are well prepared for a lot of events, but I think if a volcano becomes active, the least you will miss is fire LOL
And if the volcano ever erupts you won't even have to bother with the fire lighter eh!
interesting as I too have never seen before wonderful capture warm hugs, Linda
You seems very hooked on knives now :-) This one is really beautiful, and handy in size.
excellent equipment.
Hehehe, what's up Mike, you are still dangerous!
Sure hope you have all these weapons someplace safe and not under your pillow waiting for a home invasion..
Well, let's hope Mt. St. Helens doesn't blow again any time soon - nor Rainier or the others for your sake. I'm more concerned about Yellowstone blowing myself. I live to the south of it. Guess it's better than living in NE, but not much, because of how huge it is. I don't think there will be any escaping it for hundreds of miles in any direction. Very cool knife Mike. Do you scrape that little rod against a rock for a spark? Not sure how that would work, but apparently you have used it :)
A good addition to your collection!!
Terrific looking.Great shaped blade where you fingers wont slip and get cut on the blade.
Awesome stuff dude.
OK, this is a new one on me, sounds more like a special forces type of thing to me.. Cool! These are interesting pictures mate.. like! NOW, some of you in action ;-) Rob
