oversea March 20th, 2003, 04:07 PM DOES ANYONE CARRY A BUCK INTREPID? WHATS THE BEST WAY TO MOUNT IT? GOT ANY PICTURES? Soggy March 20th, 2003, 04:26 PM No need to shout. Please press the button on the far left hand side of your keyboard. It is the one in-between the Tab key and the Shift key. When you press it, a little green light will turn off. ;) Seriously, what is a Buck Intrepid and what are you mounting it on? A jacket BC? backplate/wings? leadweight March 20th, 2003, 04:28 PM The intrepid is a big expensie knive. Mount it on a board and hang it on a wall, but don't bother to take it diving. oversea March 20th, 2003, 04:30 PM AaronBBrown once bubbled... No need to shout.

ALL RIGHT, GIVE ME A BREAK, I'M AN ARCHITECT AND ALL MY DRAWINGS AR IN CAPITOLS. ANYWAY, I THOUGHT ABOUT MOUNTIG IT T MY LEG, ANY SUGGESTIONS? gmbaker March 20th, 2003, 04:31 PM Seriously, what is a Buck Intrepid and what are you mounting it on? A jacket BC? backplate/wings? SINCE I WAS ALREADY ( oops, forgot to read the previous instructions....) googling, this is what I found: Intrepid™ tactical knives are designed by custom knife maker Kit Carson, based on input from military and law enforcement experts. 400 series stainless hollow ground partially serrated blades with bead blast finish. Full tang construction features integral guard and exposed butt. Black glass filed nylon resin handles screwset to tang. Molded Kydex and heavy cordura belt sheath. so the question is : I have a $120 SS knife and I would like to ask opinions on how to mount it to my XYZ..... oversea March 20th, 2003, 04:34 PM leadweight once bubbled... The intrepid is a big expensie knive. Mount it on a board and hang it on a wall, but don't bother to take it diving. I DISAGREE, IT IS NOT ANY LARGER THAN MOST OTHER FULL SIZE KNIVES. ALSO HAVE A REMORA ON MY HOSE WITH A SERRATED BLADE FOR CUTTINGROPE ETC. THE INTREPDI CUTS AMAZINGLY AND HOLDSITS EDGE. I DON'T KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHAT IS MTERIAL IS BUT IT WORKS. IT I ALSO EXTREMELY STRONG WHEN PRYING ETC. Soggy March 20th, 2003, 04:41 PM oversea once bubbled... ALL RIGHT, GIVE ME A BREAK, I'M AN ARCHITECT AND ALL MY DRAWINGS AR IN CAPITOLS. no one ever listens to me :rolleyes: gmbaker March 20th, 2003, 04:42 PM WHY DO YOU SAY THAT? AaronBBrown once bubbled... no one ever listens to me :rolleyes: Spectre March 20th, 2003, 04:45 PM AaronBBrown once bubbled... no one ever listens to me That's cause your too quiet.... leadweight March 20th, 2003, 07:44 PM gmbaker once bubbled... WHY DO YOU SAY THAT? I wonder if he dreams in capital letters? ElectricZombie March 20th, 2003, 08:08 PM The Buck Intrepid would not make a good dive knife for several reasons. A lot of people have had corrosion problems with the steel used by Buck in this particular knife. 420 HC is not exactly a high quality steel. When used in small pocket knives, 420 HC is about the bare minimum. When used on a larger knife like the Intrepid, you will probably encounter difficulty when re-sharpening. I also don't see why the vast majority of divers would need a knife that large and cumbersome. The Intrepid is about $140.00, the real Carson custom made version is probably in the $500.00 range. Either is way too much for a dive knife that won't be of much use and will most likely be lost. You can search www.bladeforums.com for reviews on the Intrepid. Mo2vation March 20th, 2003, 08:44 PM You have just entered the No Slack Zone and it wasn't pretty. People are feelin' a little chippy today. I'm not saying its always this warm and gracious, but it usually is... :D Not too many fans in these parts of Big A$$ knives. A sawed off Betty Crocker gets a lotta lovin'. A Remora is about the size limitation these days... Goin' Benihana sort of went the way of Mike Nelson. If there's no 2 hose regs to cut anymore, and bad guys in round masks to chase, what's the fun of a huge calf-mounted sabre? K Waterborne March 20th, 2003, 09:33 PM Oversea, welcome to the board. I'll do anything to get out of studying so, I found a picture of the sheath for you. It looks to me like it can be mounted on two inch webbing at the top. It also has slots in the sheath for straps. So you could mount it to your bc webbing or on your leg with straps. It would help if you told us what kind of bc you're using. I am not a fan of large knives. My "sawed off Betty Crocker" does just fine. Hope that helps. Mo2vation, that's a kickin avitar. :D Green_Manelishi April 11th, 2003, 04:16 PM I use one and have been for a couple of years. My only complaint re: the knife is its edge is "chisel grind". The steel takes a good edge, holds the edge and is easy enough to sharpen. Yeah, it's not particularly corrosion resistant, but neither does it rust away in a day; clean your gear and there are no problems. G_M ps. Yes, I have cut plenty of line with it ... I need a sharp knife that is easy to hold when recovering lobster traps from dirty, fast moving water.
