During the Safe Use of Cutting Tools section of our courses, I like to show students the difference between good and bad bushcraft knives.
The trouble is, I have plenty of good knives to demonstrate, but I am short of bad knives. What I really need is a completely cr*p Rambo-style knife that new-comers to our pastime might be tempted to buy if they didn't know better. We have all seen them (and maybe even owned one!). You know the sort of thing - ridiculously big blade, poor steel, badly balanced, wobbly fittings, lots of useless gadgets etc etc.
Does anyone know where I can buy such a hideous monster? Clearly, it needs to be as cheap as possible - firstly because I don't want to pay good money for poor quality and secondly because it will never actually be used!
Of course, if anyone has one tucked away in a drawer that they want to get rid of, but are too embarrassed to put on the Classified Forum, then please drop me a PM. I promise that all offers will be dealt with in the strictest confidence and your guilty secret will not be revealed to anyone!
