Fixed blades

A Vaquero:

I really don’t know which one to quit staring at long enough to comment. Knife, leatherwork, knife, leatherwork
Dang man they are eye candy overload that works too!
Just like a woman with the same characteristics. KEEPERS

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words.

This would be my pick for a tour in the desert or a foreign land. Ready for work. Any info on specs and Maker? The mark looks like a sword through a shield and a W on the shield.

That is a Wenger "Pilot". It's made by Dave Wenger, of "Wenger Blades", who I believe is based out of Michigan. If I'm not mistaken, he's produced these out of 80CrV2 and Nitro-V in the past but appears to have recently made the switch to 3V. The blade on this one is 5.25" in length and right at .188" (*3/16ths) thick.

In my humble opinion, you are dead-on with your statement. This would be the perfect "Crewman" fixie, whether "aviation" or otherwise, for guys who work in confined spaces and need to have most of their equipment mounted on their body armor/LBV/kit. When it comes to real estate and weight, it's a relatively small fixie with a lot of big fixie capability.

You are exactly right, nothing fancy but big enough to any job but portable, a true soldier’s knife or adventurer.

This is one of the baddest ass knives I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen you post this one many times over the past few years.. never fails to make me smile. Mr Siegle made a winner with that one off pattern.
