Some of my Beckers came with paracord tied into the handle, and some did not. And not being a "knot tying" person, were these tied using a certain type knot, and if so does anyone have directions on the tying of them?
And.... was this standard paracord, or was a specific type used?
 
Hey Mountainwind....

I really do not remember doing any paracord wrist lanyards....Camillus, Blackjack or Cincinnati....This means little because my memory rarely gets same day service these days....

All Best...

Here is a knot I use on any knife I own with a wrist lanyard hole. I do not know how this became the 'Reeve' knot, as I have seen it on many military knives, particularly on the sheath (leg tie down) of many WW2 era knives. Including my favorite uncle's M3 (Kinfolks, not Camillus).

It's a safety thing, these wrist lanyards... keep from loosing your knife when hacking the big tough stuff.

Here is a pic of my working BK9 with such a knot. Can cinch it up tight onto your wrist. Also shown is the Kydex sheath I made for it. It's of extra heavy duty 3/16 kydex with a black kydex welt.

Mr. Becker.. I await your call to join you at KaBar as your official sheathmaker.

A nautical term for a nautical knot.

REEVE - To reeve a rope, is to put it through a block, and to unreeve it, is to take it out of the block.

Good, informative post! Thanks!

Hey! Sorry Phil. I forgot you owned this forum too under one of your four I.D.s here.
 
Hey #^!* %#* codger. You have already turned the Schrade forum into a cesspool of mis information and I hate to see your kinda not-know it all bullshit spread throughout the rest of bfc.

Your personal knowledge of knives is limited, your own collection is a bunch of crap and your sources of information (that which you do not copy verbatim from others that do know) is shakey.

My apologies to others in the forum for this post, but I am sick of mike here trying to pass himself off as some kinda expert.

Post reported. This manner of posting has no business in the Camillus Collector's Forum. If you have a beef, you should take it to a moderator or to PMs/email.
 
I'm letting the quote above stand, because I think it's important to see what GreatScout wrote. I also feel compelled to add my opinion about this character attack.

I read GreatScout's 58 posts here since March of this year. And then I reflected on the three years worth of posts that Codger64 has contributed to Bladeforums. With this comparision in mind, I cannot believe GreatScout had the audacity to post what he did.

Codger64 has archived historical records, tracked price trends in Schrade knives, and generously offered useful information to an awful lot of folks. He has done so respectfully, not as some "know it all," but rather as a collector with a shared love of cutlery. When I came back to Schrades after the plant's closing, he provided me with a great deal of background info and pricing details as I sought out certain models of Old Timers and Uncle Henrys.

I butted heads a little with Codger64 once, when he lobbied to get the Camillus and Schrade forums combined. I hoped that the Camillus forum could stand on its own. I have to say that, when the new Camillus collectors forum was created, there was no animosity on Codger64's part. Instead, he has come here and talked with Camillus collectors in the same respectful and sharing manner that he displays in forums like Schrade and Wilderness.

To say his knowledge of knives, especially Schrade knives, is limited... is mistaken. To call someone else's collection "crap" is simply inexcuseable behavior. I have NO idea what GreatScout means with his charges of plagiarism. However, I do know that Codger64 has shared information in order to grow the love of knife collecting.

If GreatScout has multiple user accounts, he should pay careful heed to this page:
"Don't register gimmick or troll accounts. If you are found out to have one, expect to be permabanned."

There are some gimmick accounts that get a nod and a wink from the mods because they're harmless fun (Gay Manatee, Gay Penguin, Angelina_Jolie, the Duccis, the fake Jerry Busses, etc.). But if someone is using multiple accounts to troll or to get around infractions, then that's a big no-no. :thumbdn:
 
Let my post stand. I am not ashamed of it. My old account here was 'textoothpk' , gold member, and if you look it up, guyon, you'll see I was active in the Schrade forum long, long before codger ever decided to become an expert on that late, great company. I had tried to steer clear of codger by avoiding the schrade forum, but I see he has expanded his expertise now to things Camillus and nautical. More of his sprouting crap about things he knows not much of. As for his collection being shit, well, one can't know quality, or knives in general, if all you have ever handled are the working knives made by schrade, most of them used and abused. And anyone can study old company records and I wonder if he will ever give credit to the person who gave them to him. I will do so publicly if he would like me to.

Codger is writing a book about schrade. I do not accuse him of plagurism and if my post implied that I did, then it was wrong and I retract it. I will say that Bruce Voyles is also writing a schrade book and I do hope to see it in print soon.

Mike, I ask you never to make a post after one of mine in any forum. As the example above shows about the silly knot, you really do not often understand what others are writing about.

GreatScout, if you've been around as long as you say, you should know that character attacks aren't allowed outside of Whine and Cheese, yet you continue to make derogatory charges like these. The Camillus collector's forum is not a heavily moderated forum like some others, so maybe you think you can get away with it here.

You mistakenly seem to think you can dictate when and where members post. I don't know about Codger64 and I don't know all the history here, but if you asked me NOT to post in the same thread OR forum as you, I'd laugh in your virtual face.

I find it curious that you felt it necessary to change usernames. An Advanced Search, actually, turns up an awful lot of analogous names: GreatScout, Gr8Scout, Greatscot, textoothpk, texastoothpk. Are all these yours?

Your follow-up post here says as much about you as the previous one.
 
To set the record straight, here is post #9 unedited:

The so-called Chirs Reeve Coil is a hangman's noose. Pure and simple. I suspect that Mr. Reeve had an ego attack in calling it anything other than a hangman's noose.
