Feukair Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Very nice. I like the satin-ish finish on the blade. What grit did you polish that down too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pault17 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Bob, I really like the handle. The OAL is also very comfortable sounding. For years in teh military, My favorite carry was the airmans survival knive. It was long enough to do anything that didn't need to be shot.
