M0ldyM!LK Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I'm not exactly sure on what particular knife it was, but you can never go wrong with a Ka-Bar, especially in black http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v91/M0ldyM1lk/kabar.jpg But seeing the scenerio of the game, a hunting/survival knife would probably fit the niche a bit better, like this one I have http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v91/M0ld...ture_003jpg.jpg It's got matches, fishing line, hooks, and weights in the handle. Pretty schnazy. Here, you all you need is to visit a military surplus store, and some sporting goods stores may have them... Though I have no idea where one could obtain these in the UK...

Pretty schnazy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry, but... oh, the irony! Sigint: Ah, you're using the survival knife. Snake: Yeah. This thing provides me with all the bare essentials I need to survive in the field. Sigint: Hey, wait. What'd you do with the knife I made you? That was a work of art. It had matches and fishhooks and thread and stuff in the grip. Snake: Sorry to have to tell you this, but that thing is useless in a fight. Sigint: No way! Really? Snake: Yeah. When the grip is hollowed out like that, there's not as much space to stabilize the blade. So the joint between the blade and the grip is weaker. That makes it easier to break. Sigint: I get it. You're right - with your knife, you don't have to worry about it breaking no matter how much you swing it around. So the important thing is durability... Man, I gotta write this stuff down. Next time, I'll make the it so the matches and fishhooks go in the sheath instead. Snake: ... I think Snake was using a custom blade. I've got a boot knife that looks similar to Snake's CQC blade, maybe I could make a mould for a rubber version? Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 cheers M0ldyM!LK, but i dont thin either fit the criteria for a CQC set up , seeing as i want to hold both the gun and the knife at the same time Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 How would you be unable to hold both a Ka-Bar and a pistol at the same time? I can do it. Easily. Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 i have no idea, i'm not inexperianced with knives, but i'm not an expert either, so i dont reall know what would go well with a gun Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Don't forget to carve a section of the left grip plate out. Link to post Share on other sites

Combined with me leaning over and the excess BDU front filling out like that... yeah. I need to get new pictures. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 And don't forget, the camera adds ten pounds. So there were how many cameras on you? Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Twelve. I'm light enough (and the Marine Corps is desperate enough) though, that I'm below the maximum allowable shipping weight for a man of my height. Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Don't forget to carve a section of the left grip plate out. i wanted to get the knife before i started hacking into my herrets Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Right, one quick photo later: Bought it off e-bay a while ago. I think it's about the right dimensions for Snake's CQC blade. Link to post Share on other sites
Fuser Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 All that you really need is a strong knife with a flat handle (Most Ka-Bars and SOGs won't do because of their thick grips). I have to suggest this one because I like anything with the Hk logo on it Also, in the game Snake cuts a little groove into the handle to stabalize the knife. I don't have a picture, but you might want to do something like that for effectiveness/realism. Link to post Share on other sites
counterassasin Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 But didn't Snake's CQC-knife look more like this? http://cgi.ebay.com/Cold-Steel-FGX-Skean-D...bayphotohosting Then you would just have to make the blade a bit duller, by glue or plastic etc. and then you could juse it in airsoft... (or maybe not ) Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I think mine was closer. Anyone got some screengrabs? Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 so far i think the closest resembling blade is the one RES posted, and it looks very easy to hold with a gun Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Fraid I disagree. I don't recall Snake's blade being part-serrated, for one thing. Still, until we can get some screengrabs... To Google image search! Link to post Share on other sites
Onechance Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Click this I think this is quite like the knife used by Naked Snake The urban hunter-middle of the page After a quick search found that only a tenner not bad and fairly close to the game Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 *Looks* Got one of them as well. Not quite right. Link to post Share on other sites
Onechance Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Here's a shot from the production of the game Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted June 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 cheers for that picture onechance, that should help me out quite a bit Link to post Share on other sites
evansy Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Didnt Snake have cord wrapped around the grip of his CQC knife? imo any cheap knife off ebay would do as long as it looked about right seeing as it'd need copying in rubber to be skirmish safe and it could be made to look better when it was being molded Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted June 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 that may be true, but i want a real knife aswell, and i cant seem to find a good ingame pic of the knife he uses Link to post Share on other sites
