I had one of these when I was a kid. Got it at a yard sale for about $2. It wouldn't hold an edge, the blade came loose of the handle, the compass wasn't accurate, I never even tried the saw. Like I said, I was a kid and I loved the Rambo movies and he was the best example of a "survivor" I had at the time.

Your best survival knife may be the one you have with you when you need it. But, I would hate to be packin' that ugly piece of crap in my moment of need.

Or, at any other moment, come to think of it.

Ok I must confess, I owned one of these knives when I was 10 years old. At age 10 I was really happy with it. This was about the same time i saw rambo first blood. If I am correct I won it at a fair.....

Unbroken ones must be quite rare now - so you never know...rarity value seems to make RM blades quite expensive....;)

well said it is a piece c##p and just like john said its for Wannabe Rambos!. If you are going to get a knife invest in a good one or at lest one that won't fall a part in your hands.

Funny how they could pack their tent and cook pots (with lid!) yet their situation is described as being one of 'survival' :confused:

But seriously, can it be used to make a bow and arrow with which to shoot down a Hind Mi-24?

I really like all the serious comments about the $10 knife. But I bet if Ray Mears is using one of these knives in his show, a lot of people would buy such knife just because Ray Mears is using one.
