OEF & OIF Natives: finally!

The OEF was particularly hard to find, it took me over a year. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_C7lpFxAEQHs/TOLZ4-NGdHI/AAAAAAAAGBQ/x9bkcM4MaYo/s800/IMGP4160.jpg http://lh5.ggpht.com/_C7lpFxAEQHs/TOLZ9s4U1PI/AAAAAAAAGBU/WWOg9IcwIEc/s800/IMGP4161.jpg http://lh5.ggpht.com/_C7lpFxAEQHs/TOLaEtHsraI/AAAAAAAAGBY/rAd...

Yes, with 154CM blade, it was one of the few Pilot Runs with a FFG (BTW, there were 50 Pilots total, I never found out how many were FFG). http://lh5.ggpht.com/_C7lpFxAEQHs/S_mG1KG3mfI/AAAAAAAAFkw/6iy9v-p8AYE/s800/IMGP3865.jpg http://lh3.ggpht.com/_C7lpFxAEQHs/S_mGiJOZuGI/AAAAAAAAFks/N8ikjwoMGxE/s80...

Not a FFG blade, so the knife is a Frankenstein. I hope you did not overpay... Or you can try and get your money back if it was listed as new in box.

I pretty much scoured the forums and grabbed one at the first opportunity. They are something of a rarity these days, but pop up every so often. Man, I think I've pretty much exhausted all the manix pic threads in the past two weeks. I was :eek: when I read that you'd passed on your FG Manix. I hav...

No thanks. I'll agree the Sage II is a beautifully made knife but, handed locks of any kind are virtually guaranteed to be wrong handed for me. Paul, are you referring to the clip position or the lock itself? I find it very easy to operate a LH framelock with my right hand, it is actually more natu...

It is also discontinued but pretty easy to find on the forums or eBay.

Let's say that a plastic bag is the bare minimum to ship a knife in. I am glad they finally listened.

This whole argument against tough knives is getting a little tiring. What is a "tough" knife? One that is properly built to withstand what you might have to throw at it in a situation where it is the only tool at hand. Who says that a properly profiled and sharpened knife can't cut as well...

I think that most people posting in this thread saying basically that "tough" knives don't cut never owned/used a properly made overbuilt folder. I can name scores of folders with blades 3/16" or thicker that will outcut most "slicers" out there. A name comes to mind first: ...
