CF Military (photos)

RS2 · Dec 26, 2005

My CF Military arrived from New Graham on Friday, and I've taken a few photographs of it this weekend.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a good first night of Hanukkah.

Very nice! It's a shame the Military only comes with a liner-lock. Otherwise, I would have been very tempted.

Please forgive a stupid question but in the second last photo with four knives in it what is the bottom one?

The top is obviously your CF Milly, the 2nd is a ParaMilly, the 3rd I assume is a Manix but I dont know what the 4th one is and I like it!

Thanks for the pics, just makes me want a CF Para or Dodo even more!

I think it is the uk pen knife, a slip joint by Spyderco

Not a stupid question at all. That is the relatively rare (in the US) UK Pen Knife. Blade is just under 3" and it's a slip-joint. It was developed by Sal in conjunction with the members of British Blades forum to meet the carry laws in the UK. It is actually a terrific little knife and much more secure than you might think for a non-locking folder. It has become my EDC little knife.

Thank you for looking. A CF Para would be fantastic! (Paging Mr. Glesser!!)

Sorry...another question about a knife in one of your photos....

What is the first knife in the last picture? It looks a little like a Spyderco...but with the oval instead of round hold, it clearly isn't. Looks nice, though. I like the shape of the blade. I can't read the markings on the blade.

Your CF Military looks very, very nice. I just bought a Para Military...too bad CF wasn't around for that one.

Thanks.

That is a Swamp Rat "Rat Trap."

Thanks Illumination. Performance First is correct, that is the Swamp Rat Rat Trap. Here's a better photo...
