Man it’s so hot outside that the water evaporates right out of the hose!!
The top one’s handle looks like one of the benchmade balisongs or a titanium buck. I like that configuration.Twas a fun day today with these three.

I've recently taken a shine to those mini-scythes for weeding close to the ground when you're tall and doing a walk-by cutting with the equivalent of a mini-putter.

Chambelona59. I had both those knives, think I still have the black one, both of them well made. As always Wiki is not completely accurate. In both 1978 and 1984 when we trained and went on an exercise with the men of the 9th, they were stationed at Caserma Vannucci, in Livorno, not in Pisa. They did have a small marine operations base at Marina de Pisa, at the mouth of the Arno river where it goes into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Interesting that they moved to Camp Darby. JohnFox Col. Moschin large size combat folder (Dark Earth G10) + Fox Col. Moschin smaller EDC sized folder (black G10)
N690Co steel - G10 - glass breaker, the larger full size is built like a tank / small bayonet.
Maniago, Italy.
Contrary to several YouTube reviews of this knife as well as on several web sites, the name of the knife has nothing to do with a non existent person named "Colonel Moschin".
Named for the Spec Ops 9th Parachute Assault Regiment, Italy.
A sheath was made for it to carry on a chest rig for easy access to cut Parachute cords/lines.

Your country has a fascinating history. Thank you for sharing it with us from a first-person perspective. That said, the cool knives are a nice touch, but the dog is the best part of your posts.Today I walked home a long way. And he remembered another interesting tradition that had gone into the past along with the Russian Empire. These are regimental temples.

This tradition was introduced by Peter the Great. Regimental temples were built with the money of the regiment, it kept the banners and standards captured by the regiment in battle.

The priests of the temple accompanied the regiment in campaigns and battles, conducted services, buried and buried the fallen. The photo shows the first of these temples.
