But a knife never runs out of ammo...I'm still trying to figure out why a carrier needs a fighting knife when it has all those airplanes and a support group with guns 'n missiles 'n chit?

Yeah I was pretty shocked. I used to make them too so I know how much work it is! Months of time!That's a cool groomsman's gift.
Bill Rapier is legit. I really enjoy listening to him talk and his outlook on life.I use the Amtac Minuteman, works in both the pocket and in the appendix area when mounted diagonal/horizontal so the left hand can deploy it.
I carry it on left side, opposite of the pistol.

He was in town this last week for 2 two day courses...had dinner with him and some Texas Rangers...was a hoot.Bill Rapier is legit. I really enjoy listening to him talk and his outlook on life.
I'll have to keep an eye out for that. I'd love to take a course from him.He was in town this last week for 2 two day courses...had dinner with him and some Texas Rangers...was a hoot.
He'll be out next year doing a 2 day pistol combative course that includes knife techniques.
It's not about needs. It's about wants.I'm still trying to figure out why a carrier needs a fighting knife when it has all those airplanes and a support group with guns 'n missiles 'n chit?
This fine gentleman beat me to it. I rock a strong arm on my plate carrier, it fits perfectly, has yet to disappoint me in any way, and is a fraction of the cost of most of not all knives in its class with the same quality (if not better IMO).Gerber Strongarm. Mounts either to a plate carrier or belt. I love mine and my friend loved mine so much, I bought him one. Has very many uses including being a tactical knife. Look up the reviews, for the money, it's an outstanding option for a great price.
Nice knife!Holds an edge. Need to make a kydex sheath. View attachment 1208874
Damn that's nasty looking, I do like it.
The only criticism I would have after just looking at it and not actually USING one- is the over-sized looking grip as opposed to the smallish blade. Doesnt quite look symmetrical to me... YMMV, of course. Randall has a great reputation and guys stand in line for years to get a Randall. Otherwise it's a beauty!
