Meyerco Blackie Collins Rifleman

[BryanK]

I was going to post this in the "edged weapons" forum, but this is more of a tool. I was wondering if any of you gents have used this before. I am considering ordering these for the LEO's I work with (I am designated supply bitch), and I am looking for pro's/con's of the design. On paper it looks like the cat's pajamas, but everything usually looks good on paper/websites. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Meyerco Blackie Collins Rifleman Knife

How often do your guys need a glass breaker/sight tool/case extractor/tanto point with serrated edge knife (with gift box)?

If the purchase warrants spending $149., I'd imagine it would be worth it.

Pretty pricey... As for the front sight tool, search the interweb for -rangemaster pen- you can pick them up for under 20 usd.

Hell I don't know anyone that is running iron sights these days....

We still zero with iron sights before optics, DON is funny that way

Pretty pricey given that it's a Meyerco (that I assume is made in China or Taiwan.) I think of Meyerco's as $15 flea market knives. But I haven't handled one in a long time so it might be much better.

I'd rather have $65 Spyderco Delica with a wave and a separate tool for the armorer functions.

Well, it's more of a "nice to have" item. To clarify, these LEO's work at the range with me, and it's only 7 people that I'd request purchasing for. This was my reasoning, however it may need an adjustment:

Glass breaking: To remove a trapped/incapacitated motorist from their vehicle in a roadside emergency in case the doors were locked and smoke/fire was present.

Sight tool: Range training evolutions.

Auto knife: EDC for whenever you need a knife.

Case extractor: Just in case. It does happen occasionally on washed out rifle, SAW, & 240 barrels. I also support military LE elements during training.

Fire starter: Who doesn't need a fire starter?

Thank you for that. Seeing as I work in range operations/armorer duties, this will come in handy if the knives don't get approved.


My primary focus was to see if this is an expensive POS, or worth the $150.00. Also, I wanted to throw this tool out there to you guys in case any of you could use it and haven't seen it before. I saw it and immediately thought of it's uses out in the field or for training. Does anyone see value here, or is it more of a gimmick?

If you need the tools and it's worth the money to you, it has value.
