Sell? I don't understand this sell? What is sell?
You can have one just like it. I think Shepherd Hills will sell you one.......maybe. Do you have references?
Very nice, Craig. Can I have it?
Didn't know where else to post it, but, Here's my new knife cabinet from Shepherd Hills Cutlery.............. http://www.casexx.com/DisplayAccesoriesPageFH.asp?SubCatID=9
It's super nice! I couldn't have made it for the price myself especially considering all the labor.
The little shelves are removable, real glass front. Comes with hangers to attach so you can hang it on a wall.
Toby I have asked a couple Paratroopers from the 82nd and the 101st, a smoke jumper or three and a hand full of sport parachutist, But I never got answers when I ask if they use those little folders to cut away a failure to deploy. They just give me that look.
Another knife form Mike's Box (See a Real box of knives) This is a copy of the German Fallschirmjäger (Paratrooper's) Gravity knife. The knives were issued to German Paratroops in WWII. This is actually a Koren copy of the German made LL80, which was made illegal and banned from export. The blade is not spring loaded. You point the knife blade down, push the lever forward and the dlade slides out. Point the blade to the sky, push the lever forward the blade drops back in. quite a bit of blade play but the lock feels pretty positive. Nice long spike on the end for untying knots and poking holes in PE so you can stick in a detonator. As I'll never own the real deal, This Koren copy will have to do. I plan on repainting the handle.
Tobias, I love the vintage Remington knives too, not sure of my standings in the group, I'll have to count.
Got three, that's it, you're a major Remington collector! LOL!
Ooops, my mistake, The Remington R-12 Trapper is not a field & stream. The spay blade is etched "First in the Field" Sorry.
Toby,
I have a feeling you actually have an affinity for the brand. The mailman is just slow. I agree with Ron, the Trailhand is so different than the rest that I am drawn to it
