Combat Diver Knife

I splurged on one, it arrived today... I hit 70 a few months ago, so it's a birthday gift to myself for managing to persevere and survive this long.

I think it's worthy of joining the ranks with my 188 (M9) and the original 184 Buckmaster. Feels great in the hand.

I bought one of the BCCI versions. Please don’t make fun of me too much..😆. I think it’s an interesting knife so I figured why not. I think it is supposed to ship this week.
Who cares if they make fun of you. You have a piece of History! This knife had direct SEAL input.

Honored! The handle was reshaped by someone working for the SEALs for years.
 
99.98% gimmick
00.02% homage (in name only)

Around $300, maybe...

I'll stand by my comment from the first thread about it a couple of years back. No operator on earth is going to use a weapon to tether their lunch to a rock in the surf to keep it safe until dinner time. It just makes no sense. Use your knife as an anchor to secure gear off-shore? Have an empty sheath swinging from your belt while you carry out clandestine or combat operations?

It will sell though. These high-speed, low-drag, bugout packers in Iowa will have one for when the SHTF so they can keep their lunch safe in Lake Placid when the big Gov comes for their guns...

Ditch the grapple to not tempt some hypoglycemic operator from giving up a combat weapon. Make it with a steel that's highly salt resistant and holds an edge that will make it through more than one bad-guy's vest, and use a coating that won't scratch off while opening a pack of cheesy-peanut butter crackers.

All that being said, it does serve the exact same purpose as the original Buckmaster. If it had a compass, I'd be a buyer...
No gimmick ! Took 55 years for Commander DT Coulter “ SEAL” retired to get this knife. Paul came out of retirement! This 420HC acts like S30V because of the formula Paul wrote and it has super high corrosion resistance which is important in a Marine environment!
 
These knives don't look anything like the one in the ad. Still like the older versions better though. I just don't get the anchor. The only thing I'd see you anchoring with it is a hydrogenerator, but you could anchor one with a rock. What's it rated for? It's not a grapple hook right?

Just don't know what you'd be securing that you couldn't secure to a steel bar with chain. You could secure a whole teams gear. Or maybe, get this... use an anchor... that's only $15... ??? Why would you show to a gun fight with a really expensive knife that you're gonna leave in 20ft of water... KISS right?

The first thing that comes to mind is an "oh crap" moment I heard about while listening to a Meat Eater close encounters pod cast. Basically, a couple of people were spear fishing in an area known to occasionally have extremely strong currents. They got caught in the current and were being swept out to sea. One of them had speared a fish earlier but it tore off and the spear ended up getting stuck on the reef allowing them to briefly stay in place and rest which ultimately led to them being able to just barely make it back to shore before the current swept them around the island and out to sea.
