Green Beret

I'm a little anxious for some "real life" feedback as well. There was an article in Tactical Knives, but it was more about the history, than the knife itself.
I have one of his one pc. knives. Judging from the way it is made I'm sure the Green Beret is a great knife.

I'm not sure you have read TK's article on the Special Forces knife yet. I know I don't have a copy. Maybe it was the Blade's article you saw.
The new TK should be out in a week or two. Look for the Reeve SF knife on the cover. The knife we had for the article was a prototype but an eval. of a production model will follow in a few issues.

Hi Steven, I have the current copy with the Green Beret on the cover. As a matter of fact, work is slow and I'm reading it right now! The Green Beret really seems to be a beautiful knife. Guess I was hoping for a evaluation on it. The article was geared more towards its history and such. Looking forward to a "on hands" review.
However, the issue itself is very good. I particularly liked your little article in the beginning, "A reminder: Knives are for cutting".
I often sit and wonder why everyone seems to evaluate their knives on how well they chop, rather than cut. Guess I'm getting old. I always brought a hatchet to do my chopping, as that's what I thought they were for.

Very well put, JohnnyO. (and Steven)
I have caught myself wondering that, too sometimes. Not that some knives may be used for such, and that I have never used mine for such. But it certainly doesn't seem to be the most common use of knife. Maybe a Kukri (which is what I break out when I need to do some knife-chopping!)

I can see times where you might need a knife to do certain things you normally wouldn't want to do with a knife. But, it seems like it's expected one use a knife for chopping and prying, more than slicing and cutting. Although I admit, I spend more time in the civilized outdoors, I still feel most of my knives are very capable of building a shelter, shaving kindling, as well as chopping small branches for a fire.
Being the man I am, I admit to owning a Busse Natural Outlaw.
However, it does not get near the use of my smaller, lighter, thinner bladed knives. Each have their place.
Now, I'm trying to figure what place this beautiful Green Beret knife needs to fill.
It might just be that place they call, lust!
