I am not sure what sub-forum to put this knife since it is a custum made knife, but there are many made. I guess it just belongs in Fixed Blades. I hope you like the subject.
I like to share with you this (semi)custom knife made by the Dutch knife makers Father en Son van den Heuvel in Rotterdam. They started making this knife for our Dutch Special Forces in the mid 90'ties after a it had been thoroughly tested. Since 1995 it is in actual use by the Commando's during their missions all over the World. The Army version is with a Ti coated blade and Ranger Green handle and Sheet. Over the last 15 years about a 1000 pieces were made. 300 knives went officialy to the Commando's. Several were also privatly sold to Military employies like for example Marines a.o.
I guess I feel proud to now own this absolutely fantastic out-door knife. Enjoy my pics
