Airborne Knives

[Weazle23]

I saw this posted on facebook and had to share here:325 Airborne Knife.jpg

I couldn't find any website and it was a shared photo from Door Kicker's INC.

Looks like the guy that makes them does not have a website, but he has pictures of his knives on several FB pages and you can e-mail him if you want one custom made. I like the one in the picture posted above because it's called the Recondo II.

That's an outstanding idea!

Nice, I'd like one for my collection also.

About twenty or so years ago, a friend gave me a brand new USMC K-Bar. I thought it was so cool except for the USMC and logo engraved on it. I love the feel an weight of it. It also came with a swell leather scabbard with USMC and logo embossed on it.

I still have my old Army boot knife, which is a light leather handled hunting knife.

Both of these treasures sit in a drawer in my bedroom. They get looked at maybe once a year, if that.

It is hard to accept that I am not a Recondo qualified Sgt. in the paratroopers anymore, but a sixty nine year old man who has the time to reminisce about the good ol days. That I am never going to have a need for a fighting knife, nor a paratroopers knife, anymore.

When I saw that paratroopers knife on the opening of this thread, I thought damn, I'd love to have one of those....then I thought.....what for?

Peshaw, John. Dust the knife off, drive up to Compton, roll your window down and drive around slow. Make sure to tell people standing around how you feel about politics and stuff. You'll need the K-Bar.... and a 45.

That is a beauty. Brings back memories of "what if"- you know being hung behind the aircraft and having to cut yourself free. To me that was one of the biggest fears at that time.


Is there a price on that knife?

[zanshin]

I got tight on cash and sold my Randall Model 14 (that I carried the second time in) for $125 back in '87. Obviously, with new ones selling for over $500, that was a very big mistake.
