Aaahem!
Notice the holes in the sheath for sewing to the lapel.
This one is plastic, but I'm thinking S30V w/kydex. Maybe a matching SMATCHET! for those social occasions when a lapel knife just isn't quite enough.

Plastic may beat security. OTOH with all of the paranoia about potential weapons, especially in schools, a sharp pencil or ball point pen makes a deadly, lethal weapon. :(

Crayons and markers only! And only those made with non-toxic materials. :D
Lapel knife...interesting. Whatever happened to the Arkansas toothpick?

Neck knives seem to be making a comeback for sure. Wonder why?

Walter,
By "first ones" are you referring to an original SOE or OSS lapel dagger?

He quit making them sometime in the mid 90's, I think it was, for some reason.

I bought a set of the lapel daggers a year ago. I can not find the store I got them from but on the clear plastic is the original Mfgr info.
It is Blackjack Knives, Ltd Effingham, Illinois U.S.A.
Hope that helps....
Blackjack Knives made a zytel copy of the OSS lapel dagger until they closed in the late 90's. I have a few laying around from a trip to their company outlet store. As I recall, they made tons of them and AG Russel and The Cutlery Shoppe sold them like hotcakes for a while as well at US Cavalry and Brigade Quartermaster.
I think BudK had a batch a couple of years ago.
You can find them advertised on the the internet, but I don't know if they actually are in stock.
What is the date of manufacture on the lapel daggers?
I don't think they have an expiration date:D
OK, I just had to say it.:D Running for the Depue Improved Individual Fighting Position now.

we move alot of them to the guys for their E&E prep as I thought they would be good to include. They are not the end all but might help in the right situation. E.

Pete" How can you do that? I was sure I would never have the hear about the "Depue Foxhole" ever again. Don't forget the grenade sump and septic tank.

I know more than one Vietnam Vet who said he'd trade a bayonett for a an e-tool in a fight any day of the week.
"It'd take a head clean off."
Now if only I could get an e-tool through airport security...

Do I remember correctly: that an e-tool was COL Mize' weapon of choice or last resort?
Mean looking surprise!
I like it!
But as a neck knife... :confused:
I would not like carrying my knife around the neck!
