Did you bring that home from VN? Still got that "stone" that came with it? Handy-sized knife for sure.
I wanted one of those in the worst way- until I got one! Since I wasnt using it to cut thru aircraft-canopy plexiglas it wasnt all I had hoped it would be.
The KaBar USMC knife wasnt all that great either, and the leather grips had a tendency to rot, dyed mine black and then soaked it in wood sealer preservative. It sprouted legs and walked off somewhere along the line. I couldnt wait to do what so many of the guys were doing- getting the Buck 120 "General" which I kept for like 40 years...

Nice!

 

[PolishAvenger]

Thank you much!

Nope - I was too young for VN!

No stone.

Actually I found this in my duffle bag I was issued at my first duty station in the Air Force.

It wasn't on my TOE so it became mine. I figured it had been in the bag a long time.

I don't think it ever went outside the base as its in pretty good shape!

A knife of mine with a bit more of a 'solemn' history...

Case 'Shark Tooth' given to me by a GF many years ago who I almost married - but we were both too young at the time - or maybe I was....

She passed just a few years ago due to complications of diabetes, and that's all I have to say about that...

Amtac Northman. Best EDC fixed blade I’ve found.

the newest Old Timer will do everything knives costing hundreds of dollars will do, and only costs $25. looks better to boot.

What works for you may not work for others. I’ll stick with my $450.00 dollar fixed blade for fighting. And I’ll use my cheap folders for utilitarian uses.

how much time do you really spend fighting with that $450 knife? i am guessing none.

Training yes. (It came with a trainer as well)

Actually deploying it on another human being - hopefully never.

How often do you spend fighting with your handgun? That question can be asked in a magnitude of areas. I train with all the gear I carry on my person.

My weapon. Deployed twice this morning, once at a stater, the second time at a fellow highway traveler.
