That would be cool if this is the "lost" one!

Thanks for the info' Rich!

Cool to know this is legitimate.

It's a neat idea whether or not it would work very well.

It sticks in my mind that there were 2 different spike lengths.

There were.

The anchor pins were 2" long until variation 6.2 then they went to 1.5". The Buckmaster that is shown is one of the first ones made, so they should be 2". Which they may be, it could be just the camera angle.

That was how I finally figured out mine was a 6 or 6.1, the pins are 2". It's crazy what some of the anchor pins alone go for on Ebay!

Thanks Rich, but I'm a little confused. Were there only two of these wire cutters made? You own one and the other one is long gone? What about the wire cutter shown in this thread? Is it different?

I bet it’s one of the two. If brand new photo. Then there is the second one found since mine is in my Safe.

I believe this one to be variation 1 due to the compass isn't in the pommel.

Doug Olson made me test cutting our fence as he was Very proud of this design. Let me tell ya it Works like a charm on chain link and barbed wire.

So it does work pretty well, that's cool.
With something like this that never went I to production you just never know how it might work.

In using the wire cutter would you have it screwed down tight or allow it to swivel? Would the 1.5" spikes work just as well as the 2" as far as leverage?

Screw Down tight. At that time all they had were the Two inch anchors( spikes)

Wow! I'm just mighty curious how this wire cutting contraption is held to work it?!
Would that be one hand placed on this threaded attachment "thingy"
And the other hand on the handle of a sheathed 184?
And would that be the unit facing skywards or downwards?
A sequence of pictures with simulated hands-on use would be most helpful
And very deeply appreciated richxdguys ;-)
It's way too cool an accessory
Not to be made available for existing 184s now
Or anything which shares this similarly threaded knife hand guard...IMHO.
Thanks for the input.

I' d think you would hold the handle of the knife in one hand and then work the cutter with the other.

Then you would only need to unsheath the knife vs. unstrapping the whole works.

TAH & Rich,

Thank you for the information. Very cool to see something you have never seen before. Yep, I'd buy one if available for sure.
