Winchester 2007 Limited Edition

Winchester 2007 Limited Edition - Author's Collection

The image shows a Winchester 2007 limited edition wildlife series. It is described as an "Ersatz Scrimshaw Knife Set." Three small knives are included, and all have artwork pertaining to wildlife. Each knife measures, overall, 5 3/4". It's hard to describe the wildlife because I don't take items out of the package (and my eyesight is poor). Therefore, I don't get a clear view. The set that I saw on eBay was selling for $35. The knives come with a presentation box.

Robert Shiflett Blade - Author's Collection

The picture shows a Robert Shiflett RSI 2003 Double Dragon Talon. It's billed as a "Custom Design." The price is about $30. It's a very sharp conversation piece, and it's easy to accidentally cut yourself with it. It has 4" curved blades. Overall length is 12". It's very Klingon-esque in appearance. I can find pictures online, but I couldn't find anyone selling one.

The handle is plastic. The double-edged blade is dull. The blade is 5" long. Overall length is 9.75". It's really just a cool display weapon. It comes with a plastic sheath. The price is $14.94.

Collectible Knife

Author's Collection

Author's Collection

I got this knife many years ago. I was friends with a family who had a kind-hearted daughter with a sweet spirit. She was about 15 years old. They knew I collected knives. They went on a vacation somewhere and the girl saw this knife and just had to get it for me. I don't know where she bought it. She's now grown and has two children of her own.

I kept the knife displayed in a curio cabinet at one time, thinking it was just a weird-looking showpiece. Later I realized it could be something right out of a Lovecraftian adventure, so now it's on a shelf with other mythos-related items. I get the distinct sense that it could be some island-themed weapon, though I'm not sure. I was thinking Polynesian, but I can't find anything from that culture that looks like this. So, I don't know what it is. The blade is flimsy, but after all these years, it's still surprisingly sharp. I could probably put an edge on it if I wanted to (I don't).

Item Weight: 218 g

The cost of this item is approximately $35. It might be good for occasional camping or as a tool in the tacklebox. It's made in China. I haven't tried to sharpen it, but it's reasonably sharp right out of the package.

Ruko Survival Kit Knife

Ruko Survival Kit Knife

Ruko Survival Kit Knife

I couldn't find a price for this knife online. It's made in Taiwan. It comes with a dull blade, a too-thick saw on the back, and a bottle opener that seems serviceable. It has two key rings and a whetstone. I did use the stone to make an edge on my kitchen knives, before following up with smaller grained stones. I don't know what grain the stone is, but it's the most valuable part of the kit.

There's a compass in the handle. I don't know if it works. The handle is advertised as watertight. It has matches. It also has a 20" wire saw in the handle that seems flimsy. The set also has fishing hooks and lead weights. It's supposed to have nylon line, but this one doesn't.

The kit has needles that can be used for a variety of purposes. It has a poor-quality fake leather sheathe. The knife is obviously not full tang. I advise you not to buy one of these. You'll be wasting your money, whatever it ends up costing you.

Edit: I found one online for $26.50. It's not worth it.

The Guardian II by Frost Cutlery

Guardian II - Author's Collection

"17-inch overall Bowie knife. Features stainless steel blade. Black pakawood handle. Stainless steel guard and pins. Comes with a nylon belt sheath."

I like this knife, and I like Frost Cutlery. It's fairly inexpensive. I looked around online and found one of these for sale on eBay. The asking price was $32 and some change. If nothing else, you could use this big knife as a warclub.
