Not red, Dwight, shot in low light, and or filtering not good. It’s flame orange, actually created by the Day Glo people. But thank you anyway.

Harvey's maybe different, but I think that model ( MIL-K-10043) is auto.

It’s an automatic parachutist knife issued by the Government to Air Crew. The main blade is the hook blade and not the clip point. The main purpose was to cut canopy lines if tangled, with one hand. The number is MIL-K-25549. All that I’m saying is from research, and not from experience. Stewart would know far more and better than me. The knife is almost in NOS condition. Everything functions perfectly. I just saw it available and fell for it, especially after reading its’ history.

I just looked at the tang stamps. They indicate that this was the first version of the Schrade MC-1.

One of my favourites.

I like the simplicity of this 15. Barehead, long frame filling Spear

It's not pretty pretty/pretty like this anymore but it's pretty good..

 

[Jack Black]

Otter with bone handle. This knife has a smooth pull, not too light either, so it is one of my favourites. Also I like the looks very much, an old school gentleman's knife with some size.

Smashing Otter Mr Finn

Back in the saddle this morning with these two!

A couple in Stag for today.

Great pairings gents

I carried one of those back in 1966-70. At the time there was a common rumor going around out of the rescue/rigger shops that the knife was one of the many government contracts gone bad, and the shroud cutter (the hook) was supposed to be automatic opening, (which would’ve made alot more sense) & not the blade. Out of curiousity I checked it out a few years ago on the error-net & that rumor proved to be false.

With it is this big ebony handled cigar jackView attachment 1103617Purists would have passed on this when they saw the crudely cut, homemade easy open notches, or the worn and scratched blades, but I love this old boy. I used the dremel to polish out the ragged EO notches. The blades on this beast took a wickedly sharp edge.
The original tang stamp appears to have been ground off and overstamped with

This is what I found out about it:
