I hear what you're saying Erectedatlast..... it is a danger with eBay. Ultimately I suppose I do like the low level anarchy of eBay so I'm not sure whether I'd welcome more regulation. I think and resourceful 12 to 18yr old could get hold of a dangerous knife without too much trouble with or without eBay....

Anyway I'd be interested to see what you bought and who from... any chance of the eBay info?

Thats a camping knife?... gulp!

What do you use it for, skinning deer?

Hi Johnny1640

I was lucky as there was only one bid on it and I waited until the very last 10sec's and bid £1-55 with £1-25 P&P total was only £2-80. I call that a bargain as they are going for a lot more just now but if you wait the price will come down as we are going into winter now and that makes things harder to sell. The quality seems very good and the weight of it makes it feel like its well made. I think this would be a great Wild Camping item.

Hi Johnny

I just found this on e-bay, how's this for a bad ass biggy.

15" Rambo Knife, item number is # 6565992419 bidding ends at 9-14pm tomorrow night. The price showing now (12-55am) is just £0-99 with P&P at £3-30 Making a total of £4-29.

Check it out.

Regards

 Steve.

That rambo knife has a hollow tang.. = not very strong its a toy trying to look tough. If you want a knife of that calibre get one with a tang that goes right through to the end.. expect to pay a lot more for a real knife, you get what you pay for..

It  has a hollow handle which holds a compass, fishing line, hook and weight, matches and a simple sewing kit.These are all contained

whats a tang

---

TANG: The section of the blade that extends rearward and is contained within the knife handle. The folding knife tang is quite short and forms the hinging point. A fixed blade knife tang may take a wide range of shapes from full width to extremely slender.
