    More Predator

    Predator, fitting name for this tank buster. This beast looks like it could chew through just about anything. Perfect timing for posting up a stellar knife build from a Veteran. Looks phenomenal Kyle! MCH

    Survival Kit

    I AGREE with you sir, respectfully! Survival Sticky is a great idea. I've eaten some stuff in the past that could make a Billy Goat puke! (Kiddin') Try some survival cake that is available...Calories mean body heat, but they are NASTY!

    Kydex Press Question

    I am looking for advise on this subject as well. Has anyone tried to use kydex over leather? My thought is to cut into the kydex and use it as a sort of overlay to the leather.

    Survival Knife Chopper??

    :confused2: This is a new one for my collection and field duty which has not made it home yet. I thought it may be a consideration for the "Survival Kit" thread you've had going. It's 5160, 12" blade x 3 1/2" x 1/4". Black linen micarta handle scales, 1 of 10 in the world, or so I'm told...
