Hey all. Im leaving for 31Bravo OSUT (combined BCT and Military Police schools) in January.
I was wondering how much it would cost to get someone to make me a custom combo field knife/bayonet that would afix to the M16/M4 weapons systems? I wanted to buy myself it as a graduation gift to myself when I do graduate. This is a purely hypothetical deal right now, but more than likily that I would like to follow though on it.
I will be developing a feature list over the next few days.
I need a steel that will hold an edge over heavy abuse. Fixed blade obviously, probably modified recurve (Think Benchmade Skirmish) on the primary edge, with a modified drop/spear point, (Can't remember the differences of them at the moment.) and with a sharpened half back edge, but with the lower back half of the blade flat so I can choke up and use fine control. Positive retention is a must. Don't want a real pretty steel, Id like to beat the hell outta this knife. (Bead blasted finish or some dark finish.) Primary edge needs to afix facing down.
Anyways, I might do a sketch of the idea...but cant guanrentee my art skills. I wouldn't be going as a combat arms if I could draw half decent.
Thanks a bunch guys, yall have never steered me wrong yet.
