a while back  I was involved in an iKC chat session about this knife or a knife similar to this knife.  Then I saw it up for bid on eBay and  despite the price, I just had to go for it.    If anyone remembers the chat you probably know why i had to have it.  Anyway they were made by Fury.  The build is actually quite good.  I might do a little additional painting or customizing to make it look a little more life like.  But at the end of the day, this is an impulse buy I'm pretty happy with.  Paid $10 plus shipping.  I have no idea when Fury was making these but the original price was $22.
