My father had one of those as part of his kit during WWII. It is also known around knifey-type guys as the "Quartermaster." Bark River has a modern rendition. The OP's knife is, as @ c craft says, a Ka-Bar. It could have been used by a SEAL, but Ka-Bars were around by the thousands to several...

Nicely done. Be great if you could tell us the dimensions. Thanks. :)

Very impressive. Very beautiful. Pretty darn nice Damascus pattern. Nicely done, sir. :)

I didn't see that. Thank you.

@Haines Custom Just wondering how ArmorAll got into the mix. Google says that ArmorAll made of "propylene glycol n-butyl ether isopropanol and surfactants." What does it add to these oils?

Very nice! I think I know what two of them are, but could you tell us what all three are anyway? And about your process for making them? Thanks. :)

Sounds nasty. Hope you heal quickly.

I was thinking it looked an awful lot like the Buck 110. Enough to make someone in the Litigation Department take notice.

Got any shots with the blade open?

I assume the tree stand is in Central Park. Otherwise, you'll miss the parade.

Not really. Her husband was critically injured in what looks like an assassination attempt on her life. She's the Speaker of the House of the U.S. Congress. People who think this sort of thing is funny are enabling a culture of violence and lawlessness. As Americans, we should do better.

You've taken the first step by admitting that you have a problem. Unfortunately, it will do you no good. This stuff is just too pretty.
