Question about the MTECH XTREME MX-8062

[Traveller584]

I just bought one of these knives and was wondering if anyone out there could tell me what the long cord on the sheath is for? I got the leg strap figured out - duh - but that long cord with the friction stop has me stumped...

For swinging the knife around your head as you charge into battle.

Is this the knife?

Well I have the Mtech thats off of Call Of duty Ghosts. That cord is most likely for extra paracord for use in an emergency or if you want to put a hand lanyard on the knife.

Yep. Just spare cordage would be my guess, too. That seems to be a "thing" nowadays. I guess one can never have too much paracord?

edit: Speaking of the one featured in CoD, I thought it was hideous when I first saw it, but the design has grown on me. It still doesn't look practical for much of anything, but that hasn't stopped me before p). :thumbup: How do you like yours?

 

[GotThemKnives]

I love it! Has nice G10 scales, nice feel and balance to it. Overall, its a good buy. Ive seen a photo of the things lodged into wood! Must be tough.

To Gavin, Yep, that's the one!

The spare cord isn't para cord but more like a long, thick shoestring or draw cord. And honestly, I bought it because I wanted another sheath knife and liked the one from "Ghosts," so I did a quick search, found it and bought it! So far I'm impressed with the quality, but haven't used it in the field yet.

Thanks. :thumbup:

Why not?

I think mine is the older one. It's the same one used in Halo 4. It definitely lacks quality, but it makes up for it in brute strength. I won't go into details, but I tried to break this knife but couldn't. It's a sharpened pry bar and has a permanent residence in my collection despite being the most gaudy and cheapest fixed blade I own. The POS that could.

 

[GotThemKnives]

Yeah! That's right, its also used in Halo 4! I had gotten the knife specifically due to it being in CODG. While searching it up a little bit, people also said it was used on Halo 4. 2 for one I say! I collect knives off of movies and shooter games. I also just collect knives because of their reputation and or uses. I'm a HUGE knife collector and also a HUGE gamer haha.

Bleach your soul! No man should seriously buy and MTECH and expect it to last.

 

[jac_solar]

I really like this design.

That made me lol pretty good. :thumbup:

Or to hang oneself from the embarrassment of owning an Mtech. Either way, win win.
Joking of course.
