Just to inform,
There is a Jack Crain LSS (Life Support System) for sale in the Exchange forums, in the "Customs for sale by Individual". It seems a bit expensive though. Thought this might help with some info about it.

The maker was Jack Crain and the knife you are inquiring about is the LS1..(Life Support System 1). I had Mr. Crain make me one, which I still have, and you would be hard pressed to find a sturdier blade anywhere.

Here is a link to his MSN website:

You will find some pictures of his stuff and his contact information.
Hope this helps.

ooops I was close, on thinking it over more, the Crain LX was the knife used by John Thomas Roarke in the old Jerry Ahern "The Survivalist" books.
