Hi John,

When I was in Baghdad 2004-2006 as a contractor, It was common to see the majority of troops with a Cold Steel SRK or a PX Kabar attached to their kit. They were decently priced, readily available and no sleep lost should the knife be misplaced. Everyone had some version of a Multi-tool, due to the many functions that they provided.
On the other hand, our SOF guys had a mixed bag of high-end Harsey's, Randall's, Stryder's and even a Bagwell or two... nice blades. Action Guys... you know the type.

B i l l
remember me SGM... Your "problem child" with the Mac10 stashed under the fridge and the cute naked chick hiding in the wall locker... during a health & welfare.

p.s. When I was there, I carried a Victorinox Multi-Tool (very well made), and the same Randall #14 that you recommended me to purchase back in the B-3-10 days... and non-serrated, of course ; )
