It is a limited edition for Battle Box and I caught it on sale for half price.  Its gone

to full price now.  If I can keep my wife from taking it I plan on carrying it for

awhile and see.

Rome,

Finding an under 30$ to put in your pocket and work in the yard is good.  Find out a few weeks later that it holds an edge and still locks tight is GREAT!.

I am interested in what you discover about the use of the Bastion Gear Kram Gentleman's Knife

Here is what I have been carrying around the house and yard lately.

It is a Grand Way brand knife.  The web site says it is made in the

Ukraine but there is no made in stamp on the knife.  It looks similar

to a lot of the mid range Chinese knives.  G-10 scales and 8Cr13MoV

steel, sells for under $30.  But I have used it a good bit and it seems

to be a pretty good knife.  Holds edge well, locks up tight and fits the

hand well.

Here is another poor picture, one day I will learn how to do better.

I just got this knife in the mail and while I haven't had time to test it,

it handles great.  Its a Bastion Gear Kram Gentleman's Knife.  It has Jade

g-10 scales, ceramic ball bearings for smooth operation and a carry clip

set up for tip up deep carry.

Here is a terrible picture.

Michael,

That IS an interesting story and I never would have thought about calling one that

No tent pegs here. Thanks for the story and pic. Interesting history Michael.

I like bayonets...but only the pushing end! Don't want to be on the other end.

1941 Johnson rifles have a reciprocating barrel and would not operate effectively with a heavy bayonet. So Johnson came up with a "skeleton" bayonet which was much lighter in weight. The resulting "bayonet/knife" was not well received by the troops. It was pretty much useless except maybe as a tent peg. If your rifle functions by the barrel reciprocating .....and it has a bayonet on the end and you stick it into somebody.....your gun isn't going to function?

I love anything odd that has a story to it. Thus, I will buy any 1941 Johnson bayonet which I can afford. If any of you have such a "tent peg" and will part with it...please let me know. Here is a picture:
