Greetings everyone! I thought it might be nice to start a thread for gear used by the Others, similar to the Locke's Lost Luggage thread we've got going in the Locke Forum:
http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5512
This is basically a place to catalog and identify "found objects" in Lost. Mainly props, in this case gear used by the Others, or perhaps by other minor characters that don't have their own discussion area yet.
The object is simple. Spot something in the show, get a good picture of it, and figure out exactly what it is. Brand, model, etc. Then post it here and tell us all about it! Impress us with your knowledge. :) If the thread goes well, then maybe the moderators will make it sticky!
To start off, this is the folding knife that the Tailies found on the dead body of a female Other, in "The Other 48 Days:"

This is a Buck Model 110 Folding Hunter with "U.S. Army" engraved on it. On the show, Ana and Goodwin have the following conversation about it:
Ana: Where do you think they got it? I mean, they don't even wear shoes. How did they get an Army knife?
Goodwin: Sorry?
Ana: The knife. It's U.S. military. Here, I'll show you... you see the tang stamp? This knife's probably 20 years old. You don't see these anymore. Yet here it is, on this island. Weird, huh?
I did some research on this knife, and here is what I found:
Designed by Al Buck, the Buck 110 is one of the very first models Buck created commercially, introduced to the market in 1964. Prior to that, all Buck knives were made from old discarded file blades. Buck credits the Model 110 as being the knife that put Buck on the map.
However, as best I can tell, the Buck 110 was NEVER an Army-issue knife. The engraving was something the knife's owner must have added, much the way I added it to my own 110, at the bottom of the picture. It's a nice folder, but not hard to find. Far from "you don't see these anymore," Buck still makes the 110 to this day. Also, the tang is the part of the blade that extends into (and is hidden by) the handle when the knife is open. Bottom line, Ana don't know diddly about knives!
I don't think the Buck 110 has been seen again since "The Other 48 Days," but presumably Ana still has it.
Anybody got some Other Gear to post?
