OSS Instructors set

[BenR.T.]

Just finished up this OSS "Instructors set". Figured a few of you guys would like it.
It features four thumb/lapel knives in CPM 3V, two titanium spikes/pins, and a hybrid kydex case. Wrapped in some gorgeous Cape buffalo and hand stitched.

Beyond being flat out cool, the entire package has deadly class.

Yes it is, although not a copy by any means. There were small sets similar to these that Instructors would use to teach agents the use and concealment of said tools. It's pretty hard to find pictures of the sets, but there are lets of pics of the blades and tools.

Dave Decker has probably the most comprehensive site on the subject....

Very cool project, Ben, and wonderfully executed.

Very cool. I guess they made some tough lapels back in the day.

This great, Ben, love the way you interpret edged weapons.

It just arrived, Ben. Gorgeous and just right! I ordered another 6"er on the for sale thread.
