I saw a knife years ago, & I think the hype around it was Seal Team.
Anyway, this was a large, fixed blade, hollow-handle, with 2 detachable anchors on the hilt.
Does anyone else remember this knife? If so, what is the name, & who manufactured this?
I think they started having problems with the blade snapping.

If anyone could point me to some pictures of this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Sounds like a Buckmaster. Did it look like this?

Yep, that's it.

A diaster of a knife.

Too heavy; blade snapped; gimmick (anchors); sawteeth were wretched; sheath clanked; just horrible.

I think I blasted this one in SOF or Fighting Knives or somewhere like that.

Ugh

:barf:

When I first saw that knife, I thought "well that's the stupidest guard I've ever seen! How the hell are you supposed to hold it?" :confused: Thank God there was a caption that explained it to me:D

You forgot it was WAY too heavy!

My cousin bought one of these back in '85 or so.
He kept it several months, & traded it in on a shotgun, I think.
We were talking about it a few days ago - but we couldn't remember the details about it.

The knife was certainly a pig!
 
Yup...I had one of those about 10 years ago. I'd never own another one, eventho' they LOOK cool enough.

actually, how do you hold it? I'm perplexed...
 
I have one of those in my safe.

I'll have to agree with everyone here, but since my copy was inherited from my recently deceased Grandmother, I'll be keeping it.

This one misses the dumpster.
 
Dann & Mike have publicly 'admitted' to having owned, or currently own a Buckmaster...LMAO! (Now I'm truly tickled...wankers...lol)

Ok, ok, so Mike gets a 'by' with the deceased grandma story (if it's true Mike, I thoroughly apologize...) and Dann may get a 'by' too....what with his 'I used to own one, a long time ago, when I was young' story...

But if anyone else steps up to the plate here, I'm gonna bust a gut n' give 'em hell...:D

As I recall the literature, the spike things were removable. Attached, they supposedly turned the knife into a grappling hook. I handled one at a knife show in 1987. Heavy!!!

Wow Code 3, Your grandmother must have been a hardcore, heavy-duty woman. :eek:
I inherited some antiques, but nothing like that- pretty cool.
I remember when those knives were around (80's). Never liked 'em. Thought the "grappling hook" feature was straight out of "Batman".
 
Who would - in a live fighting situation - take his knife, screw on these bolts and throw it like a grappling hook, so it may get damaged or even lost?
Guess it was wrong in tne attempt of design.
 
That's right those anchors are used for a grappling hook. LOLLOL I had images of the guy trying to throw it up and hook it on a wall , the knive slipping off falling and impaling the guy. LOL
 
lol

Memories!

I had one of those and after using it for 2 days it had enough rattle to be classified as a musical instrument. :barf:
 
The funny thing is, I worked with the Seals a bit in Iraq, and I don't think there is, or ever was, a "Navy Seal Knife". So beware of any military name hype. In fact, in the Marines, most of our knives are Camillus, NOT Ka-bars... So that little stamp on the sheath doesn't mean a damn thing.
 
I worked in a carpenter shop in the navy aboard a tender. I walked into the shop and was immediatly bombarded by supervisor wanting to know if I could mount a buckmaster to a plaque. I said sure but why would anyone want a piece of s**t knife like that on a plaque. He then told me the guy next to me was the command master chief of seal team 3 and they used them to give away to the local people in the middle east for awards, bribes, anything else you can think of. And he agreed with me, it was a pos.
