what do have for a fixed blade?
could be tactical, hunting, survival, whatever.
this is my oldest fixed blade. got it in the mid 80's
its a Blackjack, around 15 inches total length, maybe more
steel is 1075, so tougher than 1095, .31 inches thick. grip is a rubber type grip.
knife is discontinued. I paid around $60 new. I see it on ebay now for 200-$300 range
now Blackjack knives are owned by Bark River and both brands look very similar. i wouldn't mind getting a new Bark River or Blackjack blade. now they use only tool steel, i think A2 or something like that
i used to use this knife for a hiking/trail knife, but i don't hike too much anymore
i didn't touch it for years and when i took it out a few weeks ago had some rust/tarnish on the blade i couldn't get totally off the steel
tried some flitz but didn't do anything by hand so i used a Dremel and that worked.
post up what you got
