My favorite is the original Cold Steel Outdoorsman. 25 deer and still haven't had to sharpen it. Machined down from a 5 pound block of stainless. 10-76 What model Sig?

One of my favorite quotes and I forget which movie it is...

When I was a young Scout in 2-504, me and some of my buds were idly throwing knives at a tree while we were waiting for formation. My Platoon Sergeant came out, saw what we were doing and walked over to us.

"Y'all are pretty good at throwing knives, ain't cha?" he commented.

"We're fair," I allowed.

"See how close you can come to the knot in that tree."

It was a pretty big knot, I was pretty confident I could hit it. So I wound up and let the knife fly. I don't know if the knife hit the mark, because as soon as it left my hand, the Platoon Sergeant hit me square in the face and put my young kiester in the dirt.

Standing over top of me, he said, "Let that be a lesson to y'all - When you throw your knife, you throw away your weapon."

I haven't thrown a knife since.

Top: Puma White Hunter, the one I carry now

Bottom: Puma White Hunter, the one I started carrying in 1967, Vietnam, Korea, Germany, so much and so many times it has got bloody from skinning etc the knife is per blood stained, look close and you will see the serrated edge has all but been sharpened off.

There are a lot of knives out there, but I know of no knife with a better overall design that if you could only carry ONE knife and other than your gun it would be you prime piece of equipment in a survival mode, this is as good as it gets.

2) Got my knife on my right hip, not visible in the pic, 1967, working operations with Korean White Horse Div, Rangers S of Tuy Hoa AO, just E of the China Sea (look in the background behind me)
