  3. Buck - 184 Buckmaster - 1986 Vintage Iconic Knife - PRIVATE COLLECTION - knife

    KNIFE PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED, FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION
    * Provenance: Acquired from a private individual, previously purchased
    * Condition: Overall in excellent condition; shows no signs of actual use.

The sheath is in excellent condition, with minimal signs of abrasion and no breaks or sagging. It comes with an additional nylon pocket with Velcro that contains the original vintage oil-lubricated compass.
    * Commercial availability: Discontinued
    * Sharpness: Factory-sharpened, but could be improved. Not re-sharpened to preserve the product’s original appearance.
    * Marks on the blade: Several superficial abrasion marks left by the sheath, typical of this particular knife model
    * Marks on the handle: A few barely noticeable signs of age
    * Box: -
    * Sheath: Present, in excellent condition, with an additional nylon pocket containing the original period oil-filled compass
    * Manuals, Certificates, and Warranties: -
    * Inspected and Certified by our in-house laboratory


    The most distinctive—and patented—feature of the Buckmaster Buck 184 is the presence of two removable, screw-mounted harpoons, or hooks. Their primary function is to provide an anchor point: the knife can, in fact, be used as a sort of throwing hook by attaching a rope to the ring on the pommel. The manufacturer claimed the grappling hooks had a holding capacity of up to 600 pounds.

    In the case of the Navy SEALs, the requirement was for a knife that could also be used underwater and, if necessary, allow for the anchoring of equipment or vehicles to a submerged anchor point. This specific requirement contributed to the choice of an all-steel construction, designed to offer strength and durability even under harsh underwater operating conditions.

  4. Spartan Blades - Spartan-Ka-Bar Knife - FDE MagnaCut & Leather - SB54DEBKLTBK - PRIVATE COLLECTION - Knife

    KNIFE FROM PRIVATE COLLECTION
    Source: acquired from a private owner, previously purchased

    Sharpening: factory edge
    Marks on blade: -
    Marks on handle: light scratch on the pommel

    On December 9, 1942, during World War II, KA-BAR presented a knife to the United States Marine Corps hoping it would become the standard-issue weapon. In cooperation with the Marine Quartermaster Department, the design was revised and production of an improved fighting and utility knife began.

    During the war, USMC KA-BAR knives became so recognized for quality and widespread use that “KABAR” became a common name. It was adopted by the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Underwater Demolition Teams. In later years, many KA-BAR knives were reactivated in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan.

    In 2019, KA-BAR joined Spartan Blades to form Pineland Cutlery. CEO John Stitt wanted a “KA-BAR” with improved strength, durability and corrosion resistance. During development, metallurgist Larrin Thomas identified CPM MagnaCut® steel as meeting these requirements.

    CPM MagnaCut® is a high-carbon powder metallurgy steel produced by Crucible Industries and specifically designed for blades. Spartan Blades developed the Spartan-KA-BAR using CNC machining, cryogenic treatment and PVD coatings.

    Intended use: Tactical / Military
    Production type: Industrial
    Country of manufacture: USA
    Blade: CPM MagnaCut steel 61/63HRC
    Blade finish: ZrN Flat Dark Earth
    Handle: Kraton G with 301 stainless steel guard and tungsten DLC treatment
    Blade length: 178mm
    Blade thickness: 4.2mm
    Overall length: 305mm

    Sheath: black leather
    Packaging: -
    Notes: the Flat Dark Earth (FDE) coated blade, when inserted into and removed from the leather sheath, may show streaks or marks due to the dye used for the sheath. The blade can be cleaned with petroleum or acetone, re-oiled (for example with WD40 or light mechanical oil) and dried with a clean cloth to restore the original coating finish.
