In honor of those who serve our country, I think it would make a neat thread if those who have could show photos of the knives that they or others carried on various deployments around the world. There have been a couple of pictures and one sees some serious use there.

I ask this with all due respect. I know that knives used in the service are very seldom used as weapons and I don't care about that kind of stuff. I am talking about seeing how knives held up doing what must agruably be the hardest service that a tool will be called upon to do...help someone get through a deployment.

My father-in-law had his Catteragus (WWII) and it was really a sight. Been sharpened apparently by every even remotely abrasive object he could find and it looked like hell but he had me sharpen it up and it came to a razor's edge.

Anyway, I would we be honored to see knives that helped you and yours get through a deployment.

Thanks.

That would be great to see how a knife held up from hell and back. Let's see them...in the mean time, Blade magazine had a good issue this month about the knives our troops used and the companies that helped supply some good stuff to our troops.:jerk it:

well, I guess I make the start.

Endura 4, ZDP189.
Worn in Afistan by one of our boys. Yes, german soldiers, guarding our safety side by side with our allies.

The soldier got back home, save and sound and offered the knife to me.
So I will hold it in honor.



 
Here is my grandfather's knife(USMC Raider stiletto). He carried it on a small handful of hellish islands during WW2.

That Endura held up very well indeed. Thanks for posting that. I just got one although mine is VG-10.
