In a recent post someone had past a comment about the U.S. knives being a little "RAMBO" in appearance, Hum I got to thinking. The Kabar knife was designed as a fighting/utility knife. The U.S. was to cheap to provide mission specific as did the commonwealth nations. Attached are a few examples of those mission specific edge weapons, I hope this helps put things in perspective .-SDH :beerchug:
