hook knife - where can I buy one?

Postby Ben Baylis » Fri Mar 26, 2004 12:55 am

I have only managed to find a long - 6" long hook knife which is too large to store/wear.
Any leads within the USA if poss
Thanks
Ben

Very sharp, and will cut leaders too. It is stainless steel but needs a
light coat of grease to protect agains saltwater (unfortunately no
stainless steel has yet been produced which has both very high
corrosion resistance and is also hard enough to hold a good sharp
edge)

It also opens bottles of beer ;-)

Thanks Steve- good link.
I am surprise more guys are not responding or showing interest in this.
Me for one, wants to be safe and alive at the end of a day of ripping and boosting!

Seems people are more intent on slagging or bragging about best this and best that!

Got the benchmade. Didn't have to use it yet fortunately.
