So after I posted on the knives used by SEALs thread, I get this Neil Roberts Warrior Knife in the mail with a note that says "enjoy!" I look at the return address and it's from my buddy Paul. Paul was a LRRP in Viatnam and collects all manner of stuff, from things that go bang, knives watches etc.
I call him up to ask "Paul, why is there a Neil Roberts Warrior Knife at my house?
"I saw your post on FB* about the knives at the museum and thought if anyone should have that, you should, so I sent it" he says.
"Where did you get i?" I ask
"I don't remember, it's been sitting in a box for at least a decade so and until saw that pic, forgot I had it"
And so it went. I now have a never used in box Neil Roberts Warrior Knife! I plan to bring it to the museum to show the crew. It's a beauty to be sure. My problem is, a knife that pretty usually sits in the safe as I don't want to scratch it. I just sold a Crusader Forge here due to the same reason, it sat in my safe year after year and was never used.
It's good to have friends like Paul. As contrast, with my HH The MFK-02 GEN II. Talk about beauty and the beast. One looks like a greyhound, the other like a bulldog, so ugly it's pretty. I tend to like knives that are more like a pry bar with a point as it reduces my fears (justified or not) of snapping off a tip and such and I care not that they may be sub par at giving me thin slices from a tomato.... The The MFK-02 GEN II I have been using and briefly reviewed in another thread.
