I have five knives that I rescued from back in the day. (see the pictures - it is obvious that I need to clean them up - have not used them much at all since I retired).

My ubiquitous Demo knife - if you did not have one of these on your belt, you just weren't trying hard enough.

My Army Aviation Survival Knife - not a great knife, but it traveled with me many places - and it traveled with me here to Texas when I retired.

And finally, my favorite of all - my Navy KA-BAR. It was given to me in 1973 by a SEAL whom I came to know pretty well - I kept this knife on my web belt and took it with me for nearly all field exercise for years to come. The SEAL was - Bob Schamberger. The value of this knife, today, is Priceless to me.

Not pictured – my Scuba Knife I’ve had since Berlin – and finally (see my Avatar)my commo knife – issued with every 109. These are some of my most favorite possessions now - back then - they were just tools.
