    Ya, me too. The neighborhood is pretty damn boring now. No one to hang out with anymore.

    Vietnam era Randall Model 14s sell for just over $1000! I saw one recently for about $1250!

The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."

    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?

    Yeah, ain't it the truth. Still have my K-Bar, never give it up. It's locked up with in my gun safe with my guns and other internments of destruction for defense. My fav is a Sap (Blackjack) I got from my old man. It was given to him from a bud of his that he grew up with that ended up in the mob on the east coast. It's leather packed with sand. I'm not sure how it was made, but I'm pretty sure they had to use wet sand when making it. This thing will seriously crack a skull no problem. Illegal as hell, so it stays locked up...but there has been a time to two I would have love to use it on one of those assholes ya pass by on lifes highway.
