I want to thank Herb, 63bkpkr for helping me test one of my newly designed Bush Tanto knives, out in the field in the California mountains. His keen observations, tests, modifications and suggestions, have had a tremendous impact on my builds going forward. Thank you Herb, for helping me make this backpacking knife all it can be. You Rock Buddy!

Gryphon Knives Terzuola

Always kept all the knives we got issued. Our Quarter Master got everything in fours except for Microtech, but he did get 5 models in over the years and I was able to get one of each. Gryphon was another story though, you had to mail in your ODA Orders to the company. Most cats I knew who mailed in for them where like 19th and 20th guys, few active did for PERSEC reasons, but by the time I heard about that I was already in the process of retiring and did not really care.

Benchmade, my God they could not give those away fast enough, Man I think even the support troops got them. I grabbed up a few of each, our QM would normally pass these out so we could get two each but Benchmade was more like here take the box and hand them out to your Team.

Army always had the best free stuff.

Everyone in my platoon had a Buck 110. We worked them to the point we could use them as a "sling blade," just as fast as an automatic.

Man, you have so many nice knives. I struggled to replace my benchmade last week cause I lost it. You gotta have like 10 grand invested in knives.

The 110 was the first knife I learned to sling, then shortly after got a Bucklite based on looks, pretty sure the metal was not the same as the 110 because it was total crap and would not hold the edge all the way through a single hog dressing.

Sling or snapping works for me, lets the automatics stay safe and unused in the box. LOL But I have had a few cross lock styles from benchmade that would sling to fast for the lock to catch properly.

Buddy of mine back in the 90a was the CFO at Straight Premium Products, This was when George was starting his product line with stuff like hoof cream, but he also had his own Buck Knife line called a Straight Buck. Back then the CFO wore many of hats at that company and only like 4 people worked there. The products where stored in a garage, all the bucks got this green stuff on them from the brass.

My wife and I called him up while I was on leave, wanted to see if he wanted to head to the coast and do some fishing to stock up the freezers. He was like hey buddy, I have a problem and I know you Army boys buff stuff out.

Ole boy showed me them blades when I went over. My wife was like no way, I am going to the beach. My mate said come on man, this guy was a Sapper. So I stayed and cleaned up knives for a week straight. Ended up buying 4 of the knives my self, man I think back then they where only like 20 bucks new.

Now what can you say about the double edge you posted, like the specs and who made it. Looks hefty and functional.

And just for fun..

8" blade (55-56c Rockwell), 5" walnut and stacked leather handle with Damascus guard and butt. Built for me by David Chuhdary, in Baltimore. It is well balanced and fast in the hand. A stabber - period.

Thank you Guys! No, no knife fights. Too old now. These days I bring a pocket bullet launcher to knife fights!

I am very proud of my new D2 tool steel and Walnut Hunter. Take a look!

That is a beautiful knife, there is something about wood handles that complete a knife for me.The ivory and bone handles also,I don't like the plastic type of handles.Although I like some with carbon fiber handles, it almost gives the appearance of a snake skin handle.IMO

[FONT=&quot]Spyderco Schempp Rock[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Designed by renowned custom knifemaker Ed Schempp, the Schempp Rock is a purpose-designed "camp" knife that combines highly evolved ergonomics, exceptional edge geometry, and light weight to yield an incredibly easy to use tool.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Schempp Rock features a skeletonized flat grind that tapers uniformly from the spine to the cutting edge. This creates a superior balance of strength, mass, and an acute edge geometry that gives the Schempp Rock extreme cutting performance for its size and weight.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]One of the most distinctive characteristics of the Schempp Rock is its unique dropped-handle design. The angle between the handle and the blade allows the user's hand to maintain a strong, natural wrist angle and lowers the blade and cutting edge in relationship to the line of the forearm. This provides enhanced control during cutting, reduces fatigue, and transfers energy more efficiently during chopping motions. The handle features full-tang construction for strength and textured, injection-molded, fiberglass-reinforced-nylon handle scales for a secure, comfortable grip.[/FONT]
