The Active Duty has arrived !!

[James 61]

This was waiting for me when I got home from work last night.

Outside for some fresh air this moring.

The hat it arrived with and my BATAC which arrived only a few weeks ago.

Some more pics with the BATAC for comparison.

I bought the AD based on pics I had seen on the forum. Was not sure what to expect. Man this thing feels good in the hand. It is nice and hefty without feeling heavy and clumsy. Been wearing it on my belt today and hardly know it is there. This may become my all time favorite EDC knife. It is going to be hard to not buy up every variation of this knife. I want more! Even the wife really likes this knife. I practiclly had to pry it out of her hands so I could get out the door to work. Guess I'll just have to buy her one or two. As if I really needed an excuse to buy more knives and feed my Infifever. I'll take any excuse I can get though.

I would like to thank my wife for buying me the BATAC for my birthday and letting me pick out the AD for my fathers' day gift. Thanks to Rescue Mike for the assist on getting this knife.

Nice additions to your family! Enjoy them! Very soon you will be buying up everything INFI. :thumbup:

What a great little EDC bro. Hard to go wrong with the setup you got. One for the city and one for camping! Very cool....where's the leather for the BA? It's going to get jealous of your AD...don't want them fighting man!

The BATAC is living in a survival sheath I orginally bought for an old style KBar that has been my go to knife since 96. It is in retirement now as it was the knife I carried when I was in the Corps. I plan on cleaning it up and putting it on display. It has sentimental value. The sheath I have is to big but until they both get new sheaths from Okuden I'm using what I've got.

If you think that is a great present check out the first gift I got for my birthday.

My first child. A beautiful baby girl. She was born exactly a week before my birthday. Of course she stole my heart the momnet I held her in my arms.

She is the best gift I have ever recieved.

Yes I am very blessed. This is my third attempt at marriage. I found the right one this time. She has similuar interests as I do. We both love to camp and hike and all that great outdoor stuff. She is also completely supportive of my volunteer work with Search and Rescue.
As for where you look, I've got no idea. God sent her my way.
