Does anyone know...

I'm curious if anyone knows who made the sheaths for the operator's Satin Jacks that the "Embrace The Suck" came out of. Just thought it would be a nice little package if it were possible to obtain one for my blade. Thanks

I think those were Spec-Ops Combat Masters.

Thanks.

Thanks.

The phrase is contemporary military-speak basically meaning "the situation sucks; deal with it." As for the knife:

When your in a tough situation, don't only deal with it, but rather embrace it and attack it.

Right on. Thanks for the photo and thread links. I had read that story before but nice to have quick access to it. I have it in a spec-ops already actually so that works for me.

As it happens, someone just listed one on the Exchange, and it even come with the appropriate Spec Ops sheath.
