Gun and Knife carry

When I was assigned to Division staff. I had a Specialist that wanted to get a knife for our deployment to Iraq. He wanted a Rambo” style knife.
I showed him what I carry and during developments. I explained to him the Pros-vs-Cons of what he wanted to get.
He ended up getting a Gerber Strongman.

The Chris Reeves with his one piece integral blade and handle is the only hollow handled knife i would ever carry.

I bought my Gerber Strongarm close to the time that I retired. I know it was after we got our lump sum payment from the VA and I decided to get serious about putting together a get home bag.

I chose the Gerber Strong Arm based on the review video that I'm linking to in the bottom of this post but I paid I think $70 for it and the last time I saw one in the store they wanted pretty close to a hundred bucks. I don't remember the exact price but it was somewhere between $100 and $120.

I like my Strongarm. It's definitely a good knife but I wouldn't pay $120 for it. I'm not sure I'd pay $100 for it

Seven year update.

There was another guy in my unit who was walking around with some dragon fantasy knife taped to his LBE.

I told him one set it wasn't appropriate or even particularly useful.

I remember having to coach him once on a rifle range and this guy couldn't shoot a horse in the ass if he was sitting in the saddle.

And I remember pointing out to him that he really needed to work on his Marksmanship and he told me that his preferred weapon was a Bo Staff.

I reminded him that his adversaries would be using AK47s and asked how he thought that might play out.

:rolleyes: It's people like this that always get me in trouble. Okay it's my unwillingness to engage my brain and filter before engaging my mouth. I can see and hear it now. "Ah What? A Bleeping Bo staff? Someone is going to turn you into a bleeping popsicle. Get the bleep of my bleeping range you stupid, bleeping, bleep bleeper." Even back in the dark ages that was considered a bit over the top.
Like fine wine I have mellowed in age.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::devilish:
When the boy went to Iraq the first time, he wanted a knife to take with him. I offered Dads K-bar that dad carried during WWII and Korea. He declined. We did find a Camillus Pilot Survival Knife that he carried on three deployments.

Been meaning to pick up a Rat 1.5.

Today, as I was in a suit, it was a 1911 in a shoulder rig, Benchmade Barrage and a Cobratech OTF.
