knives and the temptation of the edged weapon....

[JADM]

I still love my Grohmann Canadian Army knives with the flap on the sheath. I'm surprised that nobody mentioned it other than the commemorative (airborne) version or  maybe I missed some posts ...

It's not very aggressive but does the job well.

Is it still in the system ?

I still have my "jump" knife - I went thru several - inc one I snapped in two during a landing refresher.  The steel sucked IMHO, and there are way better sheathes on the market today (polymer) that do not degrade or retain moisture like the leather one. 

 

[JADM]

You're right but I still like the style and size .

 

[KevinB]

Although more expensive the Strider MFS is a similar design (ish) and much better made with a better sheath

Trakalo,

The Knife that Tess posted is still in the system for issue.

The one you are talking about is not.

For those not in the military, I am sure Tess would be more than happy to sell you one.

And for those who may wish to buy a "knock-off"

Albeit a reputable company.

I have that, the handle is made of a plastic, yet is durable.

My plan is to melt away the handle and make my own.

The blade is razor sharp, and keeps it's edge, much like most of ColdSteel's products.

A magical marriage of two phenomenal names in the edged weapons history!

Being somewhat of a collector, I just picked up a Green Beret knife (Yarborough) from Chris Reeves Knives.  I got it through True North Knives in Canada (good company for high end knives).

If you can afford it, it is SWEET!!  But for the PC military, I might suggest the smaller bladed version (5.5 inch blade).  Mine is a 7 inch blade as I prefer the extra blade for bush work.  It fits your hand like a glove and comes with a top of the line SpecOpsGear sheath.  Pricey, but worth it.

And yes, for the negative out there, it's a beauty blade that I plan to kick the shit out of.  ;D

You literally can't go wrong with anything from Chris Reeve, and he is a true gentleman to boot.  The fact that the GB is designed in conjunction with Bill Harsey is just icing on the cake.

I think that I'm going to buy a Reeve Pacifica next

I've been using the Strider MFS Tanto for awhile now and it is by far the best fixed blade knife I have used.  I bought it from True North Knives, and if you e-mail them and let them know you are in the military, they will give you a discount. http://www.truenorthknives.com/ .  Plus they are a Canadian supplier of Strider which is a bonus.

Better to spend the money on a knife that will last you forever, rather than 10 that last a few years at best.

Hey All,

I was put in touch with a Smithy is making Railroad spike knives.  He hand forges, tempers and heat treats each knife.  The handle has a reversed twist and overall length is 8", with the blade being 4".

$70.00 for knife, $85 with a Sheath.

I will acquire a quantity of these and finish them off myself.  If you are interested let me know, and I will put you down for one.

I am also thinking of making leather sheaths for them if I get enough interest.

Attached are pictures of some of his finished knives.  Those are the two styles of blades you can choose from.

Hehe I know.

The guy is a phenomenal Blacksmith, which makes up for his lack of photographic skills.  I have asked him to send me some better photos.

Soon as I do I will post them.
