I just grabbed one with frame in brand new condition for 40$ on marketplace. I couldnt drive there fast enough. Been wanting one for a few years but people wanting over 200 for used in good condition on ebay.

Dude's carried more knives in combat than Chesty Puller.

last one is pakistan is best for fighting others too small

Great journey through time with the knives used by combat veterans from before, up to my own time in the military. Thank you. Though it might not change your mind about them, you might want to look up the facts about that situation with Benchmade. This coming from someone who's not a fan of theirs whatsoever, but I'm very intentional with basing my dislike on pure fact rather than multiple level hearsay about a situation that had nothing to do with their political leanings, nor their state. I'll leave the searching for the facts up to you rather than waste my time defending a company within a specific situation, that i don't care for at all for other reasons anyway. I'm always concerned with the facts first, even if your opinion about the situation stays the same.

Reserved till 48 im 45 now

Reg apple gate

Several sogs and benchmades

Kukri

Cold steal srk the bigger one

I collect machetes and knives, yea, some of those are pretty good, and in my collection, I can relate and have sentimentality with them. I carry two knives and that seems righteous: nothing is as good as a big chopper, if got to get to it.

Merry Christmas to all! B Thankful!

MARRY CHRISTMAS

I completely missed the alice II system. I built my web gear back in 77 with vietnam equipment and and the earlier 1959 H-harness. Then in 2024 i updated to the Airforce DFLCS web gear set up. I'll probably set up the alice ll web set plus the pack for collection. Do you happen to know of any sources for the Late 60s early 70s ERDL BDUs Thanks for sharing 👍

That Winchester Bowie I bought the same one years ago it was in only £25 I threw it at a tree and it snapped In half the same day I got it 😂

Semper Fi brother

What do you make 'equivalent'? I'm all Semper Fi on you but can you touch this capability at this price? I can sharpen an edge. For me it's about weight, task and ability. The desert howls at night.

Clown show...Who wears a machete upside down? I have large hands and find the handle odd but comfortable. Research has revealed I may not know everything about the handle style. There's nothing like the 'Golok' on the market - a hatchet maybe? I love it - it does it's job well. If you EVER (like most of you 'adventurers') venture out of the eastern woodlands you may find it useful too.

Hey, I know this Marine! SF, brother. Doc N in Switzerland

BORN TO IRANIAN PARENTS IN NYC. USMC VETERAN, IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. ONCE A MARINE ALWAYS A MARINE !!!!!!!!..... GOD BLESS AMERICA. FREE IRAN !!!!!!!!.......

14.10 wich knife?

The h harness used to twist and get tangled up when you took it off or tried to put it on. Now of days there's a panel sewn in either at the top or bottom between the two back straps on most lbe stuff. But I still felt it distributed load on belt better than y strap.

This is still awesome gear. Flashlight is a dinosaur , led smaller flashlight would be better. The rest , almost looks like everyone is going back to it, but in a modernized way.

Hey, you see you standing in world war two hours pack

I got the frame n the pack pack.We're we're fifty dollars amazon wants more money a hundred and some dollars for the frank enda

Good luck finding one

What in your opinion would be the best? Self-defense knife that I could attach Horizontally on my belt In the rear. Everyday Carrie.😂

Might modify mine to snap in the cfp 90 assault pack to the suspenders. Kind of like it snaps into the larger pack. Instead of have pack straps riding over that harness system.

North American Knives and knife collecting has nothing to do with survival and using cutting tools in primitive conditions.

Errah! Deployed with 1 MEF in 2003 to Iraq. Semper Fi brother! Great knife collection btw.

USA made?

Down East Innovations 1606MC is the frame used for this bad boi

Love my Lg Alice prepping for winter now.😅😊

Leider alles nur billiger Scheiss!

Mora Knives are perfect for outdoor activities. Buys have a full tang splitter as a backup. I’m 100% in with moras. File a true 90* on back edge for fero rod tho. They’re not exactly a true 90 for sparks

I think I saw in another video how you used a magnet to hold a blade to a grinder. What pound pull would that have been and where did you get it? Thanks

I have a question.....outside of collecting knives and personel cool factor how many of us here need to choose "the right" combat knife who here honestly is creeping behind enemy lines cutting throats or getting into any type of combat scenario😅 I think if there is anyone doing that as a profession pretty sure they don't need help choosing the right tool of choice lol. I think knives are awesome though and have been collecting a long time and really appreciate the hard work, art and craftsmanship behind making them.

Better looking at it, than looking for it

if my alice pack has 7 sewn holes it's gotta be authentic, great video ❤

The good old KaBar. Hard to beat.

Thank You for sharing!

I love my Cold Steel Safe Maker I

Believe I see a Cockpit Commander, awesome Fred Perrin design and knife.... but damn that sheath looks wretched, completely covering the finger hole? Alternative exist where the finger whole is fully exposed... like the spyderco swift, or Fred Perrin's show best design... the La Griffe.

Really interesting review, thank's well done, awesome collection presented with a deep and calm voice, nice to listen. Greatings from Sweden, take care.

💪🇺🇸

They look awesome bro!

I have a woodland pack its like that one says field pack training s&b garment lc with numbers under that has a handle right behind the plastic rings with little screw like things but I know nothing about Also did you still carry the mess tins or metal food pans

Thank You for sharing!

This pack turned me into a man haha… first time I put one on filled with gear I doubted if I’d be able to even walk. Eventually I clipped the bottom compartment shut and never used it. My iso mat would sit on the outside where that compartment was. The main compartment was more than enough plus it held my gear higher on my back. Purchasing a surplus one and an Alice frame for personal hiking/rucking/etc.

Best knives in the biz…true American sweat into these blades.

Thank You for sharing! Awesome blade would love to see a dedicated tracker review
