Here we go with another bit of CRK trivia...!
While in South Africa and in our very early days in the USA, we made a knife for exclusive distribution by Pachmayr which was called the Field Survivor. Karl Lippard, the former USMC instructor who gave Chris some input into the design features he considered important for a knife to be used by a Marine, worked for Pachmayr and that is how the project came together. However, in 1990, Karl left Pachmayr and the project was halted. Pachmayr gave us the okay to continue to make the same knife but under a different name. In January 1991, the Field Surivor became the Project I.
We only made 28 Field Survivors in South Africa and the majority of them were engraved with names of brass within the military or employees of Pachmayr. We made a further 63 in the USA. Each Field Survivor was engraved with the Pachmary logo.
