All my MT's are airsoft so not to worry.

I hear Tony is moving out of Pennsylvania, had stopped making knives, and is moving the shop to Georgia to continue his AUG-clone adventure.

Some old hands speculate that they'll release a knife or two once in awhile, in order to fund this quest to break into the gun business.

Awesome blade I picked up at the RC G&K Show last weekend. The Kershaw Ripcord...



So here it is retracted in the case...



But when it is removed from the case the blade extends and locks in place. Only when you return it to the case that it retracts.

I got this beauty for $50. From the Kershaw website is $99.95. w00t! I got a steal!

Specs:
Steel: Sandvik 13C26 stainless-steel with Tungsten DLC coating

Handle: 6061-T6 anodized aluminum with Trac-Tec inserts

Blade: 3 7/16 in. (8.6 cm) Closed: 4 3/8 in. (11.1 cm)
Overall: N/A Weight: 4.2 oz.

Made in the USA

That DLC coating is an incredible finish! I have it on a Pro-Tech Godfather and it is harder than the steel it's on.

So this Ripcord is a manual OTF that is deployed by the sheath- but can be retracted by pushing in the lock release and sliding the blade back? Or is it spring-loaded like the Pro-Tech Tantilla?

The sheath is the deployment and retractor of the blade.



As you can see the sheath had a small knob nears the top and the blade as button that the knob fits into. Once the blade is put in place with the sheath knob releases the lock and the knob slides the blade back into place. Also the knob keeps the blade in place with the sheath.

AWESOME!!!

SO the knife and sheath are dependant upon one another-

Bingo!

 

[Doc In UPlace]

Wow. Loose or break the sheath... well, don't loose or break the sheath.

 

[ZeroRing]

Very nice!

Exactly!

Don't plan on it. If it happens I'll contact Kershaw.

I'm hopelessly mired in the past...

Here's a couple more old ones;
Top is obviously an old KA-BAR(USMC)
Bottom is a Robbins/Dudley (possibly WWIIera)push knife.
I carry the KA-BAR elk hunting,but the R/D?
It's a pretty neat little sheath with it too!

 

[markw76]

The R/D looks like a customized Hurst shifter...

Mammoth tooth scales, ZDP-189 core "wave" damascus blade, white sapphires in stud and lock button Mike Norris Ladder Damascus bolsters.

I'm getting the feeling that you've spent more on blades than boom sticks!!

 

[Doc In UPlace]

Mark is that an Ontario MK3? Do you use it?

Love the KA-BAR! I have a short KA-Bar, and I'm planning on getting my bro the commemerative Iraqi Freedom one...

Wonderful knives!

It's ridiculous. That's all I am sayin'.

I hear you... I think I'm on step 38 or 39 of the 12 steps program.
