{"product_id":"solid-snake-knife-replica","title":"Solid Snake Knife Replica – MGS3 Big Boss Knife, D2 Steel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Solid Snake knife is a handmade replica of the CQC knife Big Boss carries in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Big Boss is the soldier Solid Snake was cloned from. The replica has an angular tanto blade, saw teeth along the spine and an olive cord-wrapped grip. It measures 12 inches overall, with a 7-inch D2 steel blade and a 5-inch handle, and it comes with a tooled leather sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Knife Behind Snake Eater's CQC\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal Gear Solid 3 is set in 1964 and follows Naked Snake, the soldier who becomes Big Boss and the genetic source of Solid Snake. He and his mentor, The Boss, use a short, stout knife alongside a pistol for close quarters combat, the CQC style the two of them built together. In the story, this knife-and-pistol pairing becomes a family trademark: decades later, an aged Solid Snake carries a knife with his sidearm in the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game knife is kept small so it handles quickly, and it has a cord-wrapped grip. This replica keeps both traits. The 2025 remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, brought Big Boss and his gear back to a new generation of players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSteel, Grip and Sheath\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade has a hard-angled tanto point, stepped saw teeth along the spine and a clean satin finish. D2 is a high carbon tool steel that holds an edge well and resists stains better than plain carbon steels, and the edge arrives sharp. A lanyard hole and a hooked finger notch sit just ahead of the grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is wrapped tightly in olive green cord over the exposed tang. An olive lanyard runs through the pommel and is finished with a knot. The black leather sheath has a tooled scallop border, stitched edges, a snap belt loop and a metal ring at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the cord gets damp, let it dry fully, and give the blade a light coat of oil from time to time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll find more blades from the series and other games in our \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/gaming-knives-replica\"\u003egaming knife replicas\u003c\/a\u003e, and more angular-point designs in the \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/tanto-knives\"\u003etanto knives\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unique Blades Runner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67899887550642,"sku":null,"price":222.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/3109\/9570\/files\/MGS3_Big_Boss_CQC_knife_replica_with_D2_tanto_blade_and_olive_cord-wrapped_handle.png?v=1793958787","url":"https:\/\/www.uniquebladesrunner.store\/en-au\/products\/solid-snake-knife-replica","provider":"Unique Blades Runner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
