"Counter-terrorism" knives??

Heck, Cpl Toloza saved himself $6499 by fighting off insurgents with a $1 switchblade he bought from the PX. Received a Bronze Star for it. :)

This 'El Sal' soldier kicked *ss with just a switchblade

In 2012, knife manufacturer Condor named a new switchblade after Cpl. Samuel Toloza, who fought in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

He has what look to be legitimate military reviews on his goods. I wonder if they get a huge discount to be able to use them in the marketing? I'd have taken a free knife just for permission to use my ugly mug on a website...not that they had websites in the mid-80s. lol
 
Lynne Thompson of Cold Steel talked about this. He said the US special forces almost exclusively use firearms and generally do not deal with extensive knife combat
 
Wow... If a fella is charging 6500 bones to a service member (potential or otherwise), that in of itself should be a damn crime. Plus, whoever is designing these knives has clearly been watching way too many old He-Man episodes. The '80s called, they want their entire marketing machine back...

Purdy & Holland and Holland & all the other top end gun makers do one specific thing that adds just that little extra bit of class to their guns that make you feel like you're getting your money's worth out of them - even at that huge price tag they have.

They "clock" or "time" the screw heads. If you look at one, they immediately exude class - you don't catch it right off, but, you know ""something"" just looks right.

After witnessing that (on a high-end British double I once held)- when I look at some wannabe-high-end-pretender, that fails in that detail, I just move right along and don't pay attention to the volumes they write about how great they are.

When you spend the kind of money for a knife, the sheath better be up to it. The sheath on my $28 Schrade Bowie is better than the one in that picture.

It is some sort of incredibly modular thing. I think. There was this whole box full of it on a youtube video I watched

Wow. And somewhat ironically the “stainless” stamp is partly obscured by insurgent blood 😳

I hate to say it, but if anyone would know, he would. That guy has probably met countless Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines who've carried or at least bought his products and come up to talk to him at shows.
 
What distinguishes a counter-terrorism knife from a tactical one? Considering terrorism by definition targets soft targets as opposed to military targets, a large fixed blade knife is not going to be something most people would be able to carry as they go about their lives.
