planeflyer21 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 WW2 German paratrooper gravity knife, I just ended up with one anyone know much about them this thing is big and pretty cool and sharp as hell.... In NY the only thing deadlier than a gravity knife is a firearm holding more than 7-rounds. Or brass knuckles.
blue109 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Any idea if it's real or a repro? Always thought they were pretty cool.
Rsquared Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Alot of that WW2 German equipment is nice stuff.........compared to stuff pumped out today. German engineering huh?
Magwa Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 I will snap a picture of it it also has a marlin spike for undoing knotsin para chord or rope it is the one with green handles I think from what I have found out it was made by the same company that made them during the war but it was made between 1962 and 73
blue109 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Gotcha...I was thinking you were talking about one of these.
Robocop1051 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Posted June 19, 2015 I have a gravity blade made by Colt. It's a fun little bobble. It's a Colt CSAR. Identical to the German version except it's black and has a half serrated blade.

Yes the back side has a retention in the sheth! I was able to add some new knots to his ocd and its adjustable for any neck!
lasher Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 i only have a Kabar and an ancient Puma Cadet. the one i let go was a #1 Randall back in 87 as i remcall, that was a nice knife
unforgiven Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 I have a Kabar that my wife got me when we met 30 some years ago.I will have a Randall http://www.randallknives.com/knives/model-1-all-purpose-fighting-knife/
lasher Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 yep, that's #1 Randall like i had, mine had stag grips tho, and different marks on the blade. seems it was a crescent scimatar looking thing, but it's been long ago. i don't recall it having "randall" on it anywhere. sure wish i still had it
Robocop1051 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Posted July 26, 2015 True story.... My my father carries a custom Randall on his hunting holster. He's got 45 years of LE and is cowboy as cowboy gets. On an elk hunt in Idaho, a hunter (new to the group, and not well known or liked by the majority of the group) got excited and took a shot at a bull from about 400 yards away... despite having never shot further than 100 yards in his life. He neglected the fact that my father was about 150 yards closer... AND DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF THE BULLET HE WAS LAUNCHING. My father said he was stalking to get get a closer shot when he heard a bzzzzzzzzz go passed his head, and then the loud boom. He dropped face first into the dirt and then the second bzzzzzzzzz came by... and then a third... all misses. The bull was harvested by another hunter in the group, on the other side of the grove they were in. Needless to say my father was beyond the point of being a little pissed off. The other guy, 15 years his younger, tried to play the tough guy role as a defense... several guys had to grab my old man to keep him off the guy. The quote of the hunt was, "I'd leave you out here in these hills, if I didn't think someone would recognize my Randall stickin' outta your chest."
lasher Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 LOL the buzzing ain't funny but the Randall quote would be justice
blue109 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 Dangit Rene. I never looked at the options for those randals. Now am dreaming about a fighter with the border patrol grip in black micarta.
unforgiven Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 The #1 Fighter,#14 Attack or #15 Airman <dontknow> .I got Blades in the 7' range already.Maybe something in the 6'ish range.Hierloom for sure.
planeflyer21 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 Found something else to spend money on: http://www.stanwilsonknives.com/home.html Better be nice for the price of a couple of 308ARs.
blue109 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Hope he builds knives better than websites! I could barely read that. Just saw a $2200 balisong. Looks a lot like a $400 balisong with some fancy handles. Edited August 5, 2015 by blue109
AZ Dean Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 One of my newest acquisitions. Zero Tolerance ZT0452. I'm a big fan of ZT and Kershaw.
