+1 I had zero interest in the cheap Rambo knives, let alone what this will cost. If I want to saw something..... I'll bring a real saw. LOL

I never head into the woods without a quality Japanese made folding saw, along with a decent sized at minimum fixed blade. I've gotten the saw stuck on at least a few occasions now due to poor support or lack thereof and large logs binding the saw. The knife has always freed the saw after a bit of chopping and cursing myself for making such a stupid mistake and being careless. Though I suspect these sort of saw teeth are not intended for wood but rather aluminum aircraft skin from what I remember reading about this stuff.

On that knife, actually they'll cut better on the push stroke. They'll just bounce on the pull stroke. With a sharpened edge out front there, you'd better hope you don't slip! :eek: I think it might be better to reverse the teeth in the production model. But I'd also think Jerry and the gang have already thought of this, so... :confused:

Not sure who came first since there was quite the rush by nearly all makers to jump on the hollow handle survival trend started by the Lile First Blood knife. My first hollow handled knife was actually inspired by the hollow handled Randall and came out a couple of years prior to the movie.

There really is only one similarity between Parrish's knife design and my own that I can recall. They had completely different blade shapes, completely different teeth, and completely different guards, but the hollow handles were similar. As I recall, I was the first maker to rake the spine teeth forward, making the cutting or sawing motion a forward push instead of a draw to the rear. It doesn't sound like an impressive design improvement until you actually try sawing with one of these monsters.

Parrish made some really nice knives and achieved outstanding performance from 440C. I believe that his saw tooth back was designed for cutting sheet metal as opposed to sawing or notching wood. This was a much better idea for those who might need it in an aircraft emergency survival situation.

My hollow handle was designed to be waterproof and was capable of holding 2 shots of bourbon!!! :eek::D

Let's Drink! :thumbup:

Jerry :D

Hmm...not sure how I feel about this one without seeing the whole knife...Hopefully it will be a pass for me.

Like I said, I bet the Bossman had already considered it. :thumbup: Just hope your hand doesn't slip forward of the handle during use. :eek: Those other knives have pretty good guards to prevent that, which I don't see present here. I await final judgement until the whole knife is revealed. ;)
 
hopefully it won't come out too tops knives-ish.. they got a few things that are nice and alot that are just re-dickulous "purposely spellt wrong".
 
One of the coolest pics Jerry has posted in years. A mistress with teeth will be irresistible.
 
they're all irresistible :grumpy: and I'm currently a poor ass bastard this month. HOPEFULLY they will stop with the 2 week stuff and start keeping things up and avail for purchase.
 
Razorback mistress? Sweet!
 
Sweet blade! I'll take one on the shape of a 13olo 13. No teeth please.

Just curious, what exactly does heat treating have to do with stress risers? My understanding was that this effect was to do with shape/surface irregularities, not the qualities of the steel itself…. :confused:

If you look at where most poorly HT'd knives fail, it will almost always be at a transition of some kind, like when a CS TM fails at the blade tang junction or when the Buck hoodlum fails at the wire notch in the blade. This would never happen with a properly heat treated knife.
