Combat Knife “Fastener Tip” Using Super Glue

October 15th, 2009

Recently, a comment by S Willin on the Combat Knives website caught our attention. The blog posting is describing a new Boker USA Armed Forces Tactical Tanto Fixed Blade Combat knife. In the comment section, S Willin raves about the knife and adds: ” The knife is 1/4″ thick low-glare, titanium-nitride coated, high-carbon 440-C stainless steel with black G-10 micarta scales, (grips), secured with three stout fasteners. It fits the hand extremely well, easily becoming an extension of your body. . . The massive tanto blade is extremely wide and large, extending into a bowie style double guard cut from the full-tang blade, with many lanyard-lashing holes to create a spear. I do recommend a drop of super glue in all screw shafts.”

This is a great tip – super glue works as an excellent reinforcement for a wide range of fasteners and screws! We especially liked reading this proactive tip – We salute protecting our troops in every possible way!
