I would probably grab my GB1, but a close second would be my BG-42 Military.

Native - Any model, any edge, any steel.

I believe that CE blades have their place. If you have ever had to cut vines or roots, you will appreciate the serrated part and if you have ever had to do a bit of 'woodcraft' such as carving a spoon, you will appreciate the PE part.

An excellent story, RL! All I can say is that it looks like you don't have to take an IQ test to be in the TSA.

Thanks for the review, Spydie, it was great! And, my thanks to all who answered. I just pulled the trigger on the Stretch Super Blue. I think that it will bump my ZDP Endura. :)

I have my finger on the trigger for a Stretch Super Blue, but I am looking for input as to the practicality of the knife for edc. I generally maintain an edge with a strop. Any input?

I am sure that after a couple of dozen beers, it will look fine.

Welcome, Chimpchumper! It is not how many knives you have, it is how many you use.

I've been using Endura's for 16 years....Military, regular forces, Army, Afghanistan, Air Force. Used well, used hard sometimes. Sits on my right side of my combat pants clipped to the upper cargo pocket, feel naked without it! Never come close to anything that approximated a "spine whack"...

I would definitely be interested in an ATR if it was kept as original as possible. I was standing behind the door when the DLC version was available.

Congrats on getting your knife. His Spirit will live on in the use of his knives.

You may be looking at the future of online buying.

Can I play too?

Great shots, Martin. The BG-42 CF Military is one of my favorite knives.

This link may help.

The GB is a class act, with it's polished liners and fantastic CPM-M4 blade. The GB truly is a fantastic knife. That said, my Military gets far more pocket time, as it is as home around the camp as it is in the kitchen. It carries like a small knife and the more you use it, the more it seems to 'shr...

That would bug me to no end. Run it past customer service and see what they say.
