Indy's brother
New member
A knife is an invaluable tool for the adventurer, survivalist, and soldier. Indy is all of these things, yet he had to borrow a knife from some punk kid in his last adventure....what's up with that? Dr. Jones needs a pig sticker! Sure he had that little pocket knife in ROTLA, but it's been kind of MIA since then, besides, doesn't Indy deserve a grown man's knife instead of tat little boy-scout knife, anyway? I've been trying to figure out which he would have. Now before you go all K-Bar Mark 2 on me:
I have to remind you how rare and difficult it is to find Indy's gear. The real thing, not replicas. It took me 2 years to find his exact backpack, for example. So his knife would have to be something ordinary for his time, but not so ordinary that everyone in the modern world would be familiar with it. So let's play. I've found this little number:
Kutmasters were made on the same assembly line as the M-1 Garand bayonets. These are very rugged knives. Not to mention, they look all business, but also commands a little bit of attention wit-da-bling!
Of course, since I'm going with militaria here, and per his satchel it's apparent that he has a soft spot for british gear, I find this little number a bit Indy-ish:
This is the British No. 7 bayonet. Little bit of wood, little bit of olive drab canvas to go with his satchel and pack.
So. Let's go hunting for his knife, eh? Remember, just like his hat, it has to be like every other one, but also be instantly recognizable. Search the 'net and post your pics here for us to comment on. (it doesn't have to be a bayonet, either)
