THE Hollow Handle Knife Thread

Here's one you don't see often - a Webster Wood HH Survival Knife. I remember these from the 80s. Looks like one tough old knife. :thumbup:

I remember those vaguely I like the guard looks interesting. The saw looks a lot like the old Aitor jungle king saws and I bet it rips through wood fast.
 
I believe the guard slots are meant to be used with the wrist thong for a very secure grip. Here are some additional photos.

Got one of these to display in my "theater" room just 'cuz I liked the movies as a kid.
I'm sure it'd fall apart if used to cut a box, but what the hell, it's fun :-)

That Wood does look like a tough old knife. He had a neat way of accessorizing his sheaths, too. Took advantage of usable space. Nicely done. Thanks for the share, Tom.
 
This video was recently completed, and I wanted to post it here for those that would like to see it. The guys at Equip II Endure do a great job, and are very professional. Hope you all find it informative, and let me know what you think.

Sam,

Hopefully, this video will help you receive some of the recognition you deserve. Both knives and sheaths are first class. That SAFE sheath is THICK! :thumbup:

Very cool Sam, they did a nice job talking about your knives.

Thanks Dave, I agree with you. They were very thorough, and in talking over the phone with them, they knew what they were talking about and were very professional. They had a similar outlook as me, liking thinner edges and high grinds for performance.

Thank you Tom, I appreciate your support from the beginning. Good opportunity to remind everyone that Tom was actually very helpful in the design of the SAFE knife. And those sheaths are built to LAST! I hate old floppy leather sheaths.

Here's one you don't see often that just popped up on the famous auction site. A never used, mint condition Parrish survival knife with the original leather sheath. Very, very nice! :thumbup:

Lets not let this great thread sink from page one already, if ever.

Yes, there was a little 'contamination,' which sadly took the wind out of everybodys sail. But just ignore that.

Lets not forget, that this thread was started here because of troll comments else where and it has had a very good run here in this subforum.

Ive certainly followed it with interest.

Dang, there has been some great knives here - lets keep that up.

Very nice Parrish knife.
 
Years ago when I traveled, ( driving or flying), I always took my Randall 18 along. I had the matches, fish hooks, handle wrapped with cord and fishing line. One extra item was a "match striker" to light the matches easier. Too old now, gave it to my 17 yr old grandson. His mother said he takes it everywhere.
 
I do remember it, i got the catalog all the time back in the old days. I even had a couple of the timberline pocket knives for years, lost them when I managed to burn down our house 5 or 6 years ago.

Remember this "hollow handle" knife? Unfortunately, I don't own it.

Tom,
I still have one of the originals. It has slotted screws, arrow head in a slot by the belt loop. the base of the arrow is used as the screw driver. Also it had a fire starter. Mine did not have the compass, I have to move the fishing weights and place them with the hooks. I added an old military compass I had from the Teams. It fit the round hole perfectly.

Sam,

Tell me about the old military compass. Do you know who made it? Age? Any chance you could post a photo? Does it look like any of these?

On which ones Badger? Most make them from stainless tubing and then thread it to suit or however they intend to attach it to the blade.
