A most useful and sensible knife. Almost pulled the trigger on one yesterday but a certain Grasso Bolo - I intervened.

That was one of Mr. Capa's most widely known photographs.

The monument itself is a thing of beauty and I can still recall seeing it on it's base of polished black granite at Arlington. I wonder who the sculptor was.

I feel a Ka-Bar coming on....and it's all your fault.

Agar aankh band karke bhi loge to ka bar chalega. Just few tips, buy the one with kraton G handle, along with serrated edge. If you are classic go for leather sheath or else if you want modern then go for kydex sheath. Buy the 7"blade one because the short one is for people who have small hands.
