He who chooses his plan for himself, employs all his faculties. He must use observation to see, reasoning and judgment to foresee, activity to gather materials for decision, discrimination to decide, and when he has decided, firmness and self-control to hold to his deliberate decision.

not my thing, sheath looks like an arabian shoe.
Sold off a bunch of my knives to fund a different purchase. Also have the wifey talked into tentatively buying me a pair of backwoods customs for my bday. Woot.
I did pick up one knife to offset all the stuff I sold, got a heft 4. It's excellent. Perfect medium sized knife. The blade on the heft 6 looks too thin imho."I'm not like most girls." -most girls

got it on the forum cheap a few weeks back. Right now im trying to decide if im replacing with a matched pair or keep that one. If I keep it Im going to try and replace the stainless pins with black micarta ones which means I'll probably **** it up and have to wrap duct tape on it.
I discovered koster knives today. He has some nice looking knives. Customer service seems a little suspect."I'm not like most girls." -most girls

That is a good price, its about 15$ under best internet prices. They do make an OD knife and the handles on the DT blade could be considered OD.

its 15$ under the internet price for a brand new knife that comes with a sheath. it does not indicate anywhere this knife comes with a sheath and also its used. the picture shows a black blade and a grey micarta handle. i doubt the guy has an OD handle unless he also bought a desert tan blade took the handle off and put it on the black one. like i said i would rather buy a brand new knife from someone reputable and know what im getting. the guy in that listing didnt even takes the time to take a actual picture of the product he is selling he just took stock photos from another website.

So now I'm shopping for an ECD knife for the girlfriend. I'm looking at the SOG Trident because she's on the local fire department and going to school for her EMT certification. I was thinking the cord cutter feature on the Trident would work for cutting seat belts on vehicle extractions.

if you are going to buy a knife for seat belt cutting, i highly suggest the Benchmade 915 Triage
It has a retractable seatbelt cutter and not just a notch in the side of the handle. Its ALSO has a window breaker on the end which can help even more in vehicle extractions
