Sorry for the delay guys, I have been meaning to post these pics all week for those that were interested.

When I bought my Shadow IV ( pre-owned), included along with the standard cap was a TAD Gear Whistle Butt Cap. The Butt Cap is no longer made or offered by TAD Gear. So you might even say its a "Vintage" CRK Accessory. I have included many pics for you to see. The cap, looks like it was made by CRK, its that High Quality. AND, the Whistle is LOUD. I have only blown into it lightly and it hurts the ears, blowing full blast woudl be deafining !!! Great for a camper, hiker, hunter, etc. Also included was an already installed Button Compass. This was a Compass also offered by TAD gear and was close to $50. If you ever see one out there for sale and your really into the discontinued OPR knives, I would highly recommend that you pick one up. I remember seeing these on their website years ago and I believe they were in the $50 range, give or take a little, its been awhile. I know alot of you guys hate ebay, but I got a Shadow IV in excellent condition, the whistle butt cap with compass and a Spec-Opps Sheath ( original leather also included ) for $175.00. There are always deals to be had.

I must also add that it will screw onto any of the 5.5" - 9" One Piece Range Knives, So that makes it even better as you can use it on a Shadow IV, Project I, Shadow I, etc. It will fit the Skinner as well. ( The only ones it will not fit is the smaller 4" shadow III and the like in similar sized handles ) Enjoy !

Thanks for posting this Nyefmaker! It's great to see some threads on the CRK one pieces. I'd like to get a couple of compasses to fit in the various knives that you've inspired me to buy! The whistle would be cool too, but probably hard to find at this point.

Anyone know if CRK has officially stopped making the one piece line? Sad day when it happens.

If you can, I would buy the ones you want now because alot of the dealers are now out of stock and the prices are going up. The prices are going up quicker than I thought they would. They are all great, you really cant go wrong with any of them, though some are suited for certain tasks. I started out collecting CRK One Piece and I am glad I got mine while they were still being made. I will have to take an updated pic of my OPR Collection.

On a side note, The Entire OPR ( One Piece Range ) was discontinued in December of 2009.
 
That is really cool! TAD gear and CRK great combination. TAD Sebenza would be the bomb!
 
Cool stuff I didn't know about, thanks for sharing and for the great pics and explanations.
