<p>Thanks, Tobias. I might like to have an E-1 Survival kit from those days, but I wanted no parts of SAC. The spit & polish, stories of seemingly endless alerts & drills, SAC scarf, shoulder ropes.</p>
<p>Your dad got a big surprise when he got back after cook & baker school. He may have had brown boots, a leftover from the Army, and possibly even issued gray fatigues, although that may have been a SAC thing only.</p>

<p>Another view of my knife. This time with my Father's name plate that he received after serving in the Korean War. As mentioned many times My dad was with a BAR gunner with the 3rd Infantry Division in WWII. Due to wounds he no longer fit for the combat arms so when he re-joined the army in 1947 he became a cook. When he went off to cooks and Bakers school he came back to his unit and was told he was now in the United States Air Force! He remained with the USAF until 1969.</p>

<p>Howard as to your comment about Ken's USMC folder (a Mil-K) knife: you're confusing need with want! Sure you don't NEED one but apparently you do WANT one! Go for it. You'll be glad you did, espcially if you can find a good quality Camillus actually stamped USMC. They are getting scarce (but not as scarce as USAF Mil-K knife)!</p>

<p>Great Ka-Bar, Jim.</p>
<p>Ken, I have wanted one of those Stainless USMC folders for quite some time, but every time I get close to buying one, I remember the several Swiss Army Knives that I have that are similar (but with more tools), so I just can't seem to make the purchase.</p>

<p>Here is a Spanish Mauser Bayonet. I suspect it may date from the Spanish Civil War. I've owned it since about 1978.</p>
