Amazing Jack !!! Knives I never knew even existed. Moments ago I think I saw the first two blade lockback, incorporating a mechanism requiring the push of the small blade to close the main blade, that I've ever seen. You even have an Otzi, a couple of fine examples of the MIL-K-818D "Demo" knife, ancient knifes, new knives and EVERYTHING in between. If the word didn't already exist, Shakespeare himself would have to rise and coin the word AMAZING !!! The shear numbers of people who once EDC'd many of the knives you've posted would populate an entire village. Very Nice

Pete Gerber was certainly no traditional knife maker and Blackie Collins wasn't either but together in 1981, they gave birth to a knife that revolutionized the knife industry. The light, smooth, tough knife (LST) with glass-filled, nylon-reinforced Zytel handle was a first. I made a small belt sheath by hand from an old leather belt that soon "married" to this LST 400 and was the one I carried the most throughout my military career. And with that, I'll stop before I get further afield of the traditional knives and foolishly post something about my Chris Reeve folder and have to get moderated LOL. While not traditional, the little, inexpensive LST was certainly revolutionary. If seen out of the corner of the eye, it almost has a traditional shape ... sorta maybe ;)

Thank you very much Jim, one day I'll be found crushed under a pile of traditional knives! :D I can think of worse ways to go! :D ;) :thumbsup:

Thank you for your service sir :thumbsup: They made a good team, I have a Gerber Patriot somewhere, and an LST, but it doesn't have that impressive track-record. I'm afraid I only ever had the inferior Valor copy of the MKII :rolleyes: :thumbsup:
