Which one, the Allen Blade MEUK (Multi-Environment Utility Knife)? Yeah, I'll put you in my memory banks of first dibs, however if you look at my knife sales feedback score here and other places you'll notice that all of my feedback comes from buying with zero sales. 😂

Blackmoor Dirk, Tartan Dirk, Wasp; I know those well. I really liked Blackjack back when these came out. The Archangel and Spectre were two of my favorites.

Cool picture!

Had both Archangel variants and the Spectre too, but sold them off years ago.

Back in the late '80's my Dad wanted a nice pocket knife. I had Howard Hitchmough make this one from ATS-34 and got one of the South African engravers to put some art on it. Howard then differentially anodised it.

Howard is now retired and Dad has passed, so it's come back to me for the collection.
I'm gonna give it to one of my Nephews in the hope it continues to get passed down for a few more generations. Knives are like a little time machine of the past with all the memories that go with them.....:)

That's gorgeous! It's wild that people like him and Stan Fujisaka, Judy Beaver, Patricia Walker and a few others were playing around with selective anodizing like I do back in the 80's and 90s...then it just kinda disappeared for decade or so.

You are doing a stellar job of bringing it back! We definitely need to do a project together. ;)

That’s beautiful, Steven. But…the story is even better. I have my fingers crossed that it is passed down for generations. 👍🏼
 
Here's a couple older generation classics. The Benchmade Benchmite and this old titanium framelock CRKT with ATS 34 blade steel. I've got a couple Benchmites and gave my Dad one that he has been carrying everyday for many years now. They're perfect for the older guys who have been used to carrying a traditional slipjoint their whole lives, but want to try something a little more modern. They're relatively easy to transform into a button release auto too by making a new backspacer/spring for it.

This is one of the rarest knives issued by the U.S. during The Second World War. It was a bolo machete issued to US raised Philippine infantry regiments. Only a couple of thousand were produced by the Spring and Bumper Corp. and very few have survived. These were issued to a couple of US - Native Philippine regiments which were part of the U.S. 1944 invasion to liberate the country from the occupying Japanese forces.

I have a surviving copy in the collection; but, it is far more interesting to see the actual issuing ceremony.
