MTech Neck Knife Survival Kit

As I promised on my post last August 15, here is another article about this knife which I made into a survival kit.

The materials for the survival kit are, the knife itself, firesteel, button compass and a ranger band.

I just slipped the ranger band on the sheath and inserted the button compass at the front. The picture shows the button compass inserted underneath the ranger band.

And the firesteel at the back.

A close up of the firesteel.

How it looks like completely assembled and hanging on my neck. Cool?

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

MTech Neck Knife

First of all sorry for the bad pictures. I used my cellphone to take these pictures because my camera was borrowed by a friend. Anyway, I promise to post another blog about this neck knife soon.




440 Stainless Steel, Blade: 2 1/8" , Overall : 4-1/2", Sheath: Black Hard Nylon with neck cord, USA Design made in China.


Two finger grip, so handy and small . Sharp out of the box but needs further stropping.


Side by side with the RSK MK5. The sheath has a very good retention. It rattles a bit but won't fall off. Overall, an awesome cheap little knife. And by the way, the butt end is a bottle opener though I've never tried it yet.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

CRKT Dogfish

The Dogfish, another affordable CRKT knife designed by Tom Krein, was so called because it has a dogfish face at the pommel which turns out to be a lanyard hole and bottle opener.




Made of 3Cr13 stainless steel, 2.25 inch blade with an overall length of 5.25 inches. It has a plain blade with a secure finger choil and friction grooves at the thumb spine near the butt. Comes complete with a Kydex sheath but does not have a very good retention however.


Sharp edge - small but feels comfortable in my hand.


I wrapped the handle with a paracord and made a lanyard loop. A very good value for the price.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

I'm back ...

Wow its November 4, roughly 3 1/2 months have passed by without any post. Blame my work for it guys. Anyway, during that period of silence, I've acquired a lot of knives which I will post in the coming days. As you will notice I've dated this post in the month of July because I want to make 4 posts per month. I'll make up for the succeeding months with as I have said, posts about the knives I acquired.

Welcome back, guys. Lol.

ANZA Knife

Most Anza Knives are made from steel files that has been annealed, cold ground and polished but this one is made from 1095 high carbon spring steel.


It comes with a high quality leather sheath.


Model TB-1: 6 1/8" OAL, 3" blade length, 2 1/2", Width 15/16", Thickness 0.04".


The knife fits the sheath very well. Very good retention.

This Anza knife is really sharp. It can shave off my hair in a cinch because the blade is quite thin. I think this knife will be good for food preparation, skinning small game animals and what else - shaving hair of course.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

Homesick

I'm having an attack of homesickness. I really, really miss my country and longs to be home. I feel like a prisoner who wants to be with his love ones but can't. And so just relive his happy memories with them.

This Visayan song sung by simple provincial folks is somewhat like that. Its title's English translation is "Christmas in Prison".



That's all folks! Thanks for viewing.
