Anybody had any experiance with the G96 brand knives, a brief discription to jog your memories as i havnt got a camera that works at the moment.
Japanese rustproof steel blade (?!), black square block handle with orange and steel banding on the guard and butt, full tang.
My dad has had one for as long as i can remember (20 something years) with a 3 inch blade (model930), lives at the stables now (carrys a folding Buck), the quality is superb and used it myself in scouts for many years.
Then it happened in the local gunshop, the unmistakable colour of the handle jumped out from the knife cabinet full of rambo clones, folders and machetes, had to have it, would have paid anything to get my mitts on it, same shape but the 940 model with a 5 inch upswept hunting blade, have used it on every trip since, a real companion, just wish the blade was about 4 inches long but i've learnt to work with it now. Best £45 i've ever spent!!!!
Point being has anybody else seen one for sale? the one i bought is the only one i've seen other than my dads! Have found a even larger model (860 i think) on a website in the states, looks like a small machete, but they won't post outside the states for some reason, so the cogs are in motion to aquire it anyways
.
The G96 brand was bought out in the mid-late 90's and now only makes gun cleaning equipment. Sorry for the lack off photo, but any clues/info on my search for more of these knives will be rewarded in liquid kind :Wow:
