The 102 blade was about 1/2" longer than the 108, and the overall length was about 1/2" longer, but the handle on the 108 seems a little stockier.Those were about the size of a 102 with a handle a bit bigger....?
Thanks.The 102 blade was about 1/2" longer than the 108, and the overall length was about the same, but the handle on the 108 seems a little stockier.

Nice. Here are a few Vantage knives.
These situations are always complex, Randy Weaver was on the radar as a bit fringe for years, the govt was horribly heavy handed and I think wrongly painted him as more dangerous than he really was. Some of the Govt statements were outright lies, said he was shooting at helicopters which was not true. Randy shouldn't have been making sawed off shotguns. That is on him. I don't think Vicki was shot and killed deliberately. The FBI just had a lousy sniper. First shot was at Weaver but only wounded him in R armpit. FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi testified later he was aiming for Weaver's spine. Second shot was at Harris, wounding him slightly also, but that shot killed Vicki as collateral. The distance was 200 yards, not exactly world class shooting. All of this originating out of a bench warrant for a failure to appear on the gun charge.... and there may even be some confusion if Randy Weaver was even given the correct appearance date.Thanks Roger for this sobering reminder of the onerous actions perpetrated against free American citizens and especially a 14 year old boy and a mother holding her infant child.
they made a documentary on this event. all documentaries are usually biased somewhat..but even that aside...the govt side doesnt look good from the facts gathered, and ill leave it at that. this isn't a place to discuss a topic like this.These situations are always complex, Randy Weaver was on the radar as a bit fringe for years, the govt was horribly heavy handed and I think wrongly painted him as more dangerous than he really was.
