Whale Rescue Blade

[Tim20637]

Does anyone here actually own one of these? I picked one up on the bay Lnib for 50 bucks just to have it since it has a unique purpose. I doubt I would ever use it for anything but wanted to know if anyone has actually used it for it's intended purpose or if they have made a handle for it? I thought about having a handle made in frn or g10 for no other reason just because I can. Future responses are appreciated!

That's a great price!
I've thought about grabbing one just for the collector value but can't for the life of me figure out what I'd do with it.
Maybe I'll sew a Whale Rescue sleeve on the outside of my large Spyderpac...

I honestly put in the bid just on the off chance I did win the auction. I thought it would go for atleast 75.00-80.00 considering the retail. Either people don't want them or I just got lucky. Either way I'm happy with the purchase, it's def. an odd piece.

I' d love to have one just for buffing up my collection, even if there' s nothing practical I could do with it. Nice find, especially for that price!

Well, if you come across any beached whales in Cincinnati, you'll be well prepared.

Plenty of beached whales, they just don't live in the water =P

modify it to be pointy and put a handle on it.

modify it to be pointy and put a handle on it.

That's what I would do, might make a neat bread knife. Nice score!

Mike Janich and Eric are working on a handle for military application.

I assume that would be available for military personnel only?

Is it large enough to make a neat wooden handle and turn it into a scythe? That would be cool.
