I have one too. I can't remember what I traded for it. I have never used it just kept it for remembrance more than anything. I only had Gerber tools for most of my time, I also had a 4 inch buck knife that my Dad gave to me for hunting as a kid. But like said above if Rangers are using knives to fight with they are already overrun and have much bigger problems.Desert Sloth wrote:I still have one from the Thai Rangers, they would make them out of leaf springs. I traded it for a pair of BDUs....gotta love the barter system.Freed Y wrote:
I saw on Mail Call that Kukris are supposed to be excellent knives, have any of you ever used one?
I use mine all the time in the mountains to hack away brush when we set up in a hide.
I didn't hear about much knife fighting in BlackHawk down and that was as probably as close as Rangers will get these days.
You always have your weapon or etool that is a much better weapon and longer.
I probably have more knives now that I use for hunting than I did as a Ranger.
