An email exchange with a member of an Army aviation unit, who apparently had his expectations set too low:

----------------

Thanks for the nice note, Mike. I guess I'll have to be more plain-spoken in our web site.

I work on every knife that goes out. I refuse to send a pocket knife that I would not be proud to carry in my pocket, and will do everything you expect a pocket knife to do.

No sheath knife is chosen, or goes out unless I could depend on it for my life. Period.

You guys deserve nothing less.

It's totally utilitarian, just the way it should be. Nothing on it to break or fail if it gets abused, and it's heavy enough to get through a damn car door. The butt end is absolutly perfect. You could easily knock someone on thier *$$ with it. Thanks much for the tool and for all that you guys are doing for the good guys.

Several more requests today. Here is a sample...
Several individuals in my unit have requested and recieved a Camillus BK2. My FLL just recieved one and wow, what a knife! This knife is heavy and solid. The rumor is that you still have some on hand. If you do, and I am eligible as a soldier in an aviation battalion I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

Also received this picture.
