USMC Kabar

Doc.Lavoie · May 23rd, 2006, 21:54

I'm actually creating myself a USMC Kabar (picture) and I only have the handle done yet and I was wondering what material should be used for the blade. I want it to be relatively usable during games, that's why I'm not using metal.

Get the "HFC Hard Plastic Bayonet with Sheath". Paint it black cut of the blade and mybe sand were you cut it the use some model glue.

Knife

They make a black one but I can not find it. Mybe try Ebay?

Another otion could be buying some plexi-glass.. use a dremel tool to cut it into te appropriate shape, and krylon paint.

Plexi can be pretty sharp too, and it's hard.

If you wanted to be really safe, I'm sure you can find a strip of rubber that could be carved into a blade with a tang that you could fit into the handle. If it's semi-rigid it'll hold it's shape, but bend and give way if there's a poking or falling incident...

Wouldn't know where to get it though...
