Kershaw Survival knife system with saw tooth back on the blade, Model 1005. It is 12-5/8" overall, in excellent sharpened condition with original sheath and all accessories. The blade is very full with a few rub marks. It comes with a full-size Brunton compass and all the original survival gear. Very well done and my favorite of the factory hollow handle survival knives from the 1980's.

We only have one get it before it is gone!

Everything is in excellent or better condition, including the knife and sheath, except the plastic bags that all the accessories come in and a few of the accessories have age wear.

It was rated number three in a review of survival knives back in the 80's, but I do not remember the magazine or the other knives in the review.

The following is from the 1989 Kershaw catalog:
Kershaw's fixed-blade Survival Knife provides and added measure of safety in a multi-purpose knife designed for situations in the forest, outback, tundra, or anywhere a big knife for tough jobs can make the difference. It combines the sought-after features you need in functional, durable knife.

Its machete-shaped survival blade is made of Kershaw's AUS 8-A high-carbon stainless steel, sandblasted to a smooth non-reflective finish, and shaped with strong tang to assure a solid lock-up between the blade and the handle. Double cross-cut saw teeth on the back can saw through tough jobs such as wood, bone, and even metal.

The handle itself is a steel pipe covered with Kershaw's Task Force™ polymer rubber grip, which is contoured with finger grooves for positive control. The Task Force handle provides a solid non-slip grip in all conditions. The butt can be used as a hammer without damaging the knife. Its threaded butt cap features "O" rings to seal a water-tight storage tubing in the handle, which can store emergency items, such as matches and fishing hooks and line.

The oversized Cordura sheath provides two storage compartments, one for a full size compass and waterproof survival cards, which are included. This heavy duty sheath features wide loops for use with belt or leg straps, a fold down strap with quick-release clasp, and heavy-duty grommets.

The instructing waterproof survival cards are maybe the best and most helpful. Some of the things they show and explain will save your life but you may not like doing them. But as they say "at the end of the day you are either alive or dead". The survival cards are not shown in the photo below but they are 3" X 5".
