Hey all,
I'm active duty AF, and have been looking around for a new sheath knife to toss on my kit.
I think I've narrowed it down to either a One Piece (a Mark VI i think..) or a Strider MT.
I'm not big on overly long blades - I believe they can get in the way - so I'm looking for something between 5.5-6in, something in the area of the old USMC combat knife.
What I'm concerned about is the Once Piece line busting on me, due to hollow handle.
Now I've heard some damn good things about these blades, so I figured I'd come to the experts.
I need stories, pics, thoughts, suggestions.
Help a bro out.
Also, anyone with pics of a Mark VI in color? The one on Mr. Reeve's site don't do it justice, and make it hard to see clearly.
Last question, I swear LOL. Any way to get a different sheath for these blades? SOE/Eagle/anything like that (cept BHI)?? The leather sheath won't work well with my tac vest/LBE.
Thanks again!
