What is a Terror Monkey?

[dobermaniac]

So I got a Terror Monkey DSF this year and have been loving it- I have been abusing it like crazy. I'm about to pick up a DSF off the exchange. And I've recently come across threads with a Boss Street and some sort of knuckle-knife (Argonne Assault?) with the Terror Monkey logo on them.

The only differences I can see are the logo, and every Terror Monkey I've seen is a desert-camo type of coating....

So here's my question: what's the difference? What makes something a Terror Monkey?

The original Terror Monkey's were a MIL overrun that was based on the Ergo handle design. Here are a couple of threads on them. No pictures in these threads, but you can find some online.

Someone might correct me but I believe the Terror Monkeys were/are an Israeli Army Spec Ops group. They are known for climbing, abseiling and rappelling. Roofs were their main point of entry. I found this on the web but I know there is more on BF:

Each IDF assault team is divided into three main elements:

Main Entry Section.
Rappelling and Climbing Section (Terror Monkeys) - in charge on breaking in using the roofs, chimneys and windows.
Snipers Section - consists snipers (known as "Snipers 1") and spotters (known as "Snipers 2") - one for each sniper.
Part from the assault team from a designated Takeover unit or Engagement units, a dog and handler from Unit Oket'z Attack Palga and operators from Unit YACHSAP are also an integral part of the CT team.

I believe Busse Combat made some knives for the Terror Monkeys and marked them as such. Pretty cool ! I have the DSF and the TM Boss Street. Very cool !

The DSSF and DSF are pretty sweet knives; I have one of each.

IIRC, when Jerry first introduced the mil overrun TM knives, he mentioned them being made for some special operators, but as per usual Busse practice did not actually identify any unit or even the country.

Exactly as I remember it.

If I remember right, the DSSF is the all black version, Desert Stealth Storm Fighter

But I could be wrong
