"Egon" could put a round into a tank carcass at 3,000 meters with, but one, ranging shot. Highly impressive marksmanship in anyone's book.

    I was the gunner on an M60A1 Patton Main Battle Tank. At the time, the Leopard was THE epitome of a main battle tank . All the American tankers were highly envious of the Leopards.

    Thanks for the great pictures and interesting background.

    Sincerely,

    An old tread head.
    Wow, great story. Thank you for that

    Lots of WOW factor in that one.
    You certainly use some exotic steels.

    Damn! This is the best custom (IMO) that I have seen yet. It appeals to all my tastes. That's it, there's nothing more to say.

    Swords to plowshares, It's a beautiful thing. A that, young man, is one beautiful razor.

    Wow, I love the steel and scale combo and the fact that it's recycled from a leopard only makes it that much cooler... Way to go!

    Boker make a damascus pocket knife using the steel from an old leopard tank. They looked quite interesting but I was not willing to pay the premium for them. Went with a Kershaw damascus. Nice looking razor boss.
