The early 1979 Schrade Scrimshaw of the Great Outdoors SC508 has a pretty iconic and memorable Frank Giorgianni scene of a man with what looks to be a wounded leg holding off a menacing bear with his knife.
For one middle-aged Canadian this horrific scene pretty much became reality when he was attacked by a grizzly near Powell River, BC. To quote: "It was grating my bones up". What did he do? Ask the bear for a safe-space? No, he pulled out his new "buck knife" while the bear was chewing on him, two-handed opened the folding knife and then stabbed the bear in the neck. He then biked 7 km to a logging camp before collapsing. 40 minutes later he was flown to hospital and is safely recovering.
Ballsy! Awesome! Go Canada! It immediately made me think of this SC508 so I'm sharing this amazing story.
