Rambo knife...has seen better days

I hate to say it, but I really want to see it Noss-ified. That would be funny as sh*t!

Ah, but the nostalgia which it will bring.:)
And who knows, maybe it'll be slightly less crappy than we all think (but probably not)

haha.... yep, I went through a few of these as a kid in the 80's. Who could pass up all that badassery for anly $5?!?

Sure they wouldn't ake an edge, and fell apart if you tried to cut butter with them, but hey I did get some use out of the lil stone, and I even cut down a couple trees with the cable saw!

Couldn't help buying the one I posted a pic of up top there, when I saw it was still only $8. :) Brings back memories!
 
Bought mine in '82 for $2.95 from ad in Boys' Life. The cheap key rings on the handle were the sturdiest part of the knife; they were for the wire "saw" -lasted 30 seconds. The TV ad is on YouTube, under cheap survival knife. If you returned the knife you could keep the sheath.

Now all you need is a Tiger Knife and a Gold Defender, and you'll have the coveted trifecta of edged crap.:)
 
They might be good as a butter knife or something if you don't push it too hard.

(actually, I had all three of those things...:o)
 
how ever much money you can shove in the handle of that knife is what its worth;) btw that knife looks shittier next to those pretty nails!!!
 
Watch me get way more than you all would think for this...power of persuasion is a MOFO! I've already had a few inquiries about how much I want for all of them. If Bear Grylls can drink his piss, I can sell a busted ass survival knife. Stand back and watch me work!
 
Couldn't you just use it as a practice for throwing knives? Or would it just shatter against the tree?

The biggest problem with that knife (and there are a LOT of problems) is that the blade is held on to the handle with nothing more than a washer and nut. The blade is basically just screwed on to the handle. So if the blade dosen't just snap off completely on the first throw, it will at least loosen the nut and the blade will simply fall off the handle. :)

Funny thing though, I was looking at this thread at work, and a coworker of mine saw the pics of this bad boy and said "Damn! Now thats a knife! I need one of those in case I ever run into a bear out in the woods!) ....LMAO! Jenicide, I think you may be able to find a buyer after all!
 
Absolutely Jenicide...people love those things...not knife people...regular people...think they really got something. And hell, for them maybe it's fine. My vote is that Jenicide will get a halfway decent price on it. Lots of people just don't know that all steel is not the same and that one can make a bad knife.

She can do it!
