Thread: Combat Knives?

I used this one to kill a 12oz T-Bone last week; I'm also gonna use it to slay a ham on the 4th of July.

This is the feared Combat Meat Knife, made by Bruno of Belgium

Ahh, I didn't make an distinction between them! Combat knives are good for all round then, I really like the SRK too.
Also had a few different knives from Fällkniven, didn't fancy any of them and passed them on.

Two of many things that are with me daily, a SOG Trident is my utility knife when I am out and about,

when I am working at home (I have a Farm) it is a cold steel Vaquero grande.

They've probably been mentioned on this thread before but I'm a sucker for SOG. Got two fixed blades a few years back (Daggert 2 and Tech Bowie) NIIIIICCCCEE knives and solid IMO. Plus I watched the video where they fire a bullet at the edge of one of their knives and it splits the led and stays sharp.

SOG has a lot of fans, and with good reason.

Look what arrived today.



I'm looking forward to getting it out into the bush. Didn't arrive as sharp as the YouTubez had led me to believe, though...

Still. I'll use it to combat boredom in the bush and the lack of kindling.

That'll work.

The only combat knife I ever had in the military was was our M8 bayonet. I did have a Swiss Army knife but I don't think it was for combat.

The M8 is ok but what were they thinking when they designed the M9?
