Thread: Combat Knives

Can anyone recommend a knife for use in the field?

I'm looking for something pretty big, at least a 10" blade, strong as fcuk and capable of withstanding a lot of shit.

I've had a look at the large heavy bowie knife from ka-bar ( http://www.knivesaustralia.com.au/kabar.html ) , but I'm not experienced at all with this kind of thing, so I thought I'd ask the experts.


Cheers lads

you dont need anything with a blade more than 6 inches, so slow down abit there rambo.

a great tough rough field knife is this -



the glock army knife. made from the same materials as the glock pistol, a modded version of a steyer bayonet, you have a choice of colours and can even get it with the 'evil-gut-ripping' saw back option if you rilly want to walt it up.

give these boys a call................(its under accessories)

and the best thing is its only £33 with P+P so you wont be gutted when it gets nicked. (as it will)

got one myself (without the evil-gut-ripping-saw-back option), one of the best bits of kit i'v ever wasted cash on.

get a Swiss army knife only Rambos,Croc Dundee need fighting Knives

If you need an implement rather than a weapon, you can't go wrong with a machete.

DRStealth,

Those knives look alright mate, the reason I wanted a bigger one is a mate recommended one thats strong as fcuk.

Being as I'm an aussie, do you know if they post overseas etc.?

lol whats wrong with a pussers clasp knife?

To be fair he is a Aussie, so we can let him off!

For something a bit different you could make your own:

Youve played Spoony knifey before!

The only biggish knife I have ever had need to use was one of these:

MOD survival knife

Does what it says on the tin, either that or look at the Kabar yanky jobs:

helston will post anywhere, you will have to drop them an e-mail to ask costs.

i just googled 'glock knife australia' and got some hits down your way, try the same and compere prices, see which works out cheaper, buying local or importing.

ps- the brit MoD survival knife is a WAY overrated bfo lump, the glock is a lot better and far more practical. ( i have both in my collection, yes, i collect sharp pointy things)

k bar or mod survival knife either are very strong and relatively cheap and not to ramboesque.
no point bother with a sawback blade

see you can get without having to talk to a parole officer

10 inch plus blade is a machete if you want to go that route theres always kukhri's to consider

I still have my MOD survival knife at home somewhere. I used to keep it in the bottom of my vehicle bag when on mission in the Balkans as a UN civvie. It came in handy several times, but the multi-tool jobbies are far more useful for everyday stuff.

I bought a sword when my regiment amalgamated, they sold off all their old junk, tried using it once on horse back and nearly f****** myself ,not for the untrained

Oh dear

Soldiers and sharp things...

It will all end in tears, mark my words.

I remember it well - "This knife isn't very sharp...ouch, oh f*ck!"
